Abstract: 

IMPORTANT: If you are attending this workshop, please work through the Getting Started section in order to download the image and set up your environment.

systemd (with lowercase S and D) remains up until this day, both one of the most critical pieces of a system, and the least understood one. This workshop is designed to touch upon the beginner features of systemd and explain how you can use systemd to solve common problems, including some that you didn't even know you had. What problems do you ask? You’ll have to come and see.

I love Python, I grew up in a small town in Chile and one weekend, over 16 years ago, I had the flu and could not go out. I decided to learn how to code in Python and that was the beginning of the road that would move us all to Northern California so that I could join the Production Engineering team at Meta. I also like eating and cooking (in that order).
