Overview

LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.


The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA15 program addressed the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and offers a highly-curated program around four key topics: Culture, Monitoring & Metrics, SRE & Software Engineering, and Systems & Network Engineering. The six-day program included 23 half- and full-day Training Sessions; 12 Workshops; and over 60 Invited Talks, Refereed Paper Presentations, and Mini-Tutorials, all included in the Conference Program.
