The Six Stages of systemd [linux.conf.au 2014]
Everyone knows about the five stages of grieving, but what about the six stages of systemd? Like many sysadmins, I've looked askance at the now-impending apocalypse of pervasive systemd adoption, and I'd like to walk through my own six stages of systemd: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance, and Enthusiasm.
I'll be talking about the fears around this huge change in our infrastructure, what I've learned about systemd that's taken me to the enthusiasm stage, some of the lessons I've learned about both myself and the Linux community, and some suggestions about how some of the hysteria could have been avoided.
Rodger has been wrangling Linux in commercial environments since before it got trendy. He has run Linux on everything from cobbled together skunkworks PCs to get things running to mainframe-class hardware.
His background is in corporate environments, working in the media and finance industries. As well as the Holy Path of systems administration he has worked on the dark side of development; please don't ask him about TCL; it can cause fits. A large part of his career has been spent making broken things work faster, or at all.
