Raj Shekhar and James Fotherby, Quantcast
We encountered a significant challenge: the proliferation of numerous Linux distributions in our production environment following our cloud migration, which complicated management. In this session, we will reveal how we identified the right distributions, persuaded our team to embrace them, and navigated the crucial trade-offs that facilitated this important transition. This talk is specifically designed for Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) who are striving for system standardization
