Registries After Dark, Part 2: Distributed Random Access Merkledags - Daniel Mangum, Upbound & Jason Hall, Chainguard

Our friend the registry is back and is getting into more mischief than ever. After stretching the OCI image and distribution specifications to implement a registry that acts as a chat server, Dan and Jon have continued to exploit the generality of the spec to support more use cases. In this session, they’ll move beyond what actually happens when you “push” and “pull” or use tags as identifiers. Taking a step back and looking at the landscape of hosted registries offers a unique view of the capabilities of this network of systems we all rely on - capabilities exhibited by other systems we are familiar with: computers. Attendees will join Dan and Jon on a crash course through the history of computer architecture, making stops along the way at Turing machines, load-store architectures, and compiler design, before finding themselves faced with a new definition of DRAM: Distributed Random Access Merkledag.
