Hi there, I’m Stewart, a Principal Engineer at AWS working on Amazon
Linux, and thanks to our new direction in basing Amazon Linux on Fedora,
also Fedora.
I have a (decently) long time Linux history, remembering Slackware 3.5
on floppies, RedHat (not RHEL) 5 from CD-ROM, MkLinux, and YellowDog
(yay PowerPC). I’ve spent the vast bulk of my carreer around the free
software ecosystem, having spent a long time in the MySQL community, and
more recently OpenPOWER, and now working on Amazon Linux.
I have a few areas of interest that I’d personally love to contribute
around and see progress in the Fedora ecosystem. The idea of atomic
updates and rollback with systems like rpm-ostree is quite fascinating
from an operational point of view (my personal desktop is currently
running Silverblue), and likely fits really well with the versioned (and
version locked) repositories we’re doing with Amazon Linux 2022 and
beyond. I also think there’s a lot of interesting supply chain assurance
we can do to ensure continual and increased confidence in the open source
ecosystem and way of development. Then there’s things like performance,
boot times (including time-to-first-useful-work), image based
deployments (who needs an installer when you can have cloud-init or
similar to init things). So, that's a few areas of interest :)
With my AWS hat on, I’m pretty excited to see what we do over the coming
years with Fedora and Amazon Linux, and growing the number of people who
have working on Fedora as part of their day job (and yes, we're hiring).
