DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Cluster management is the term that Google uses to 
 describe how we control the computing infrastructure in our datacenters th
 at supports almost all of our external services.  It includes allocating r
 esources to different applications on our fleet of computers\, looking aft
 er software installations and hardware\, monitoring\, and many other thing
 s.  My goal is to present an overview of some of these systems\, introduce
  the new cluster-manager tool we are building\, and present some of the ch
 allenges that we're facing along the way.  Many of these challenges repres
 ent research opportunities\, so I'll spend the majority of the time discus
 sing those.\n\nBio: John Wilkes has been at Google since 2008\, where he i
 s working on cluster management and infrastructure services. He is interes
 ted in far too many aspects of distributed systems\, but a recurring theme
  has been technologies that allow systems to manage themselves. In his spa
 re time he continues\, stubbornly\, trying to learn how to blow glass. \n
