While there are many commercial and open source tools available intended to manage Windows and MacOS mobile endpoints, there are very few for Linux mobile management. I've also discovered that managing a fleet of Linux laptops doesn't follow the traditional Linux management workflow. I will talk about issues my team has encountered, and how we have leveraged Ansible and cloud services to solve our problems. \r\n\r\nWe have seen great strides in usability and performance of many Linux distributions on modern laptop hardware, and there are benefits in using an Open Source operating system on company devices. However, Linux laptops often operate outside a locked-down managed network, and the devices still need to manage access, perform software updates, identify and address security issues, as well as self-repair. As more employees work from home, there is very little guarantee that the managed Linux device will be attached to a corporate network anymore, so we need to re-think how we apply a managed infrastructure to mobile Linux endpoints. We need to have the ability to apply automation, auditing and account management to remote endpoints in a secure manner, and not expose the internal company resources to the public internet. Ansible is a powerful tool used to manage systems at scale, but tools like Ansible Automation Platform tend to rely on a highly managed networking infrastructure. We will demonstrate how Ansible can still be used to manage Linux mobile endpoints.\r\n\r\nThis talk should explain what to consider when managing Linux workstations for remote or traveling employees. We will discuss some of the technology we used and how we are changing the way we manage Linux laptops.

Originally from New Delhi, I've made my way to Berlin to immerse myself in the thriving design scene. When I'm not busy pushing pixels, you can find me exploring the city's vibrant culinary scene or whipping up my next art masterpiece.\r\n\r\nAs a designer, I'm passionate about using design to solve complex problems and make people's lives easier. Whether it's creating a more accessible web experience for seniors, designing a personalized period tracking app, or developing a comprehensive design system for a company, I love diving into new challenges and finding creative solutions.\r\n\r\nWhen I'm not working on design projects, I'm actively involved in open source contributions through organizations like The Fedora Project, and I'm always looking for ways to give back to the community.\r\n\r\nAnd when I'm not working or indulging in my creative hobbies, you can bet I'm playing video games. I love everything from RPGs to puzzle games, and I'm always down for a good co-op session.", "public_name": "Smera Goel", "guid": "dd5d3dd2-845e-5b79-bef8-3b29ded6dc4b", "url": "https://cfp.fedoraproject.org/flock-2024/speaker/AQQPAT/"}, {"code": "3BFGJV", "name": "Jona Azizaj", "avatar": "https://cfp.fedoraproject.org/media/avatars/photo_2024-08-05_11-13-38_LZVZ4za.jpg", "biography": "I started using Fedora in 2014 after attending OSCAL, later becoming a Fedora Project contributor and the first Fedora Ambassador from Albania.

About a year ago, we introduced our release syncing automation for Fedora. But that was just the start! The most important part was the feedback we got when we began getting people on board to start using this automation. \r\n\r\nAs we started with onboarding, we realized there was more to do than just getting new users. We have been collaborating with packagers, fixing bugs, adding missing elements, and polishing our documentation. And besides tweaking the automation for Fedora, we have been lately working on doing the same for CentOS Stream to bring the same simplification for the maintainers there. We've learned a lot, and the journey isn't over \u2013 with more users, we're still figuring out how to prioritize feature requests and bug fixes. But we enjoy every bit of it. \r\n\r\nThis talk will dive into our journey \u2013 the challenges, victories, and everything in between. We'll compare then-and-now in Fedora's release automation, showing the improved cool features and progress that has been made, allowing even more packagers to use our automation. And of course, it doesn\u2019t stop here.
