Upcoming EuroBSDCon talk: Why (and how) we're migrating many of our servers from Linux to the BSDs by Stefano Marinelli

A few years ago, we decided to migrate many of our servers (and many of those of our clients) from Linux to the BSDs - FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD - depending on the specific services. In this presentation, I will discuss the reasons behind our decision, the technical and organizational challenges we faced, the tangible benefits we have experienced, and why we believe this migration is successful. I will provide specific examples and real-life case studies. In an increasingly complex world, relying on simple, stable, and secure solutions is becoming more and more important, and the BSDs can make a significant contribution in this direction.

Stefano Marinelli

Tickets are still available and this talk will be streamed and recorded for later release.

For all the completists out there, may I offer the complete BSDCan 2024 playlist:
