This talk will take a look at the entire chain of building a distribution from start to finish. We'll look at how source is packaged and built, and then complex combinations of packages are joined together to make a cohesive Linux distribution that successfully installs and runs in a diverse set of environments - from aging x86 hardware to public cloud environments, Linux containers, and immutable systems.
