What fascinates me as an example of how the group approaches their job is Netflix's willingness to let disks fail as opposed to investing in RAID. Focus on the customers' needs, not on sexy (expensive) technology--supports a very successful company. Lots of learning to do here.
Amazing talk.
very good, thank you for sharing this presentation.

Pretty amazing to think that almost all that runs on Netflix' servers is FreeBSD, Nginx and Bird.
with 10 people!
Thanks for the detailed presentation. Compelling reasons to track current. Will need to look into the size of ARC performance hit with ZFS.
Interesting talk, thanks.
Great work! Thanks!
FreeBSD 🥰🥰🥰
Nice talk.
great video, but doesn't really explain why they choose freebsd and not linux
he presented 04:00 UFS and ZFS file systems, in Linux can't find that Filesystems. and i think they are using for BSD license.
yes it seems like they chose FreeBSD partially due to politics, but I suspect it was also partly because FreeBSD is just different from mainstream
Doesn't tracking current present a security risk?
I love FreeBSD so much, and I stuck with Linux on my home server because of a single piece of software which only runs in docker.
I had that too, but for that I Just did a little bhyve vm with Linux and Docker, and that solved my problems with missing Docker.
what about linuxinator and podman? maybe that could work
Is it possible to watch Netflix content at 1080p using FreeBSD?
Sure, why wouldn't it be possible?
@@mzar8092 mine gets output at 720p, but on my Windows laptop it does not get lowered to 720p.
@@mzar8092Please read relevant customer support page of Netflix. They support Linux “up to 720p” and does not mention FreeBSD at all.
only if your hardware is supported by the distro itself. Otherwise lots of choppiness, dropped frames and higher than expected CPU usage.
