SUSE Labs Conference 2018 - Is Samba still relevant?
Channel: SUSE Labs
Date: 2018-09-18

Samba is a year older than Linux itself.  Why are we still developing it?  Haven't we done that already?

Let's take a look at a protocol as old as NFS and see why it still might matter.  Between Active Directory, ceph integration, SMB over RDMA, remote NMVe access, and Transparent Failover, we've still got work to do, and there's a reason customers want it all.
