Rachel Chalmers, "State of the Infrastructure " (14:52)
It’s easy to forget that the story of infrastructure is a human story. In this session, we will take a step back and trace the history of automation and virtualization, touching on specific pioneers and the use cases they developed for both technologies, looking at the emergence of the devops role and its significance as organizations move towards the cloud. State of the Infrastructure Presentation [ZIP].

Douglas Crockford, "JavaScript & Metaperformance" (15:40)
There are lies, damned lies, and benchmarks. Tuning language processor performance to benchmarks can have the unintended consequence of encouraging bad programming practices. This is the true story of developing a new benchmark with the intention of encouraging good practices.

Theo Schlossnagle, "Career Development" (12:45)
In this session, we will discuss how operations teams can extract key information from user-perceived performance measurements in real-time to make key operational assessments and decisions. Network routing collapses, CDN nodes fail, DNS Anycast horizons can shift and it can all be shown to you by your users. However, often times, this information isn’t correctly segmented and aggregated and the gems remain undiscovered. By looking at real-time user performance data and adding a good deal of magic meta information, we can now assess uncover serious operational problems before they subtly manifest is business reports later.
Through Javascript, browser web performance information and a good deal of real-time data analysis, you will dive to a deeper operational understanding of how your site is used by the world. Your NOC will be enlightened and forever better.

Lew Tucker, "Cisco and Open Stack" (12:39)
Cloud computing is changing the way we think about data centers, applications, and services. By pooling resources and aggregating workloads across multiple customers, cloud service providers achieve highly cost effective, multi-tenant, infrastructure as a service. Some applications, however, need a richer set of networking capabilities than are present in today’s environment. We will cover Cisco’s recent participation in the Open Stack community and explore what a networking service might provide for both application developers and service providers.

John Resig, "Holistic Performance" (25:32)
Working on the development of jQuery one tends to learn about all the performance implications of a particular change to a JavaScript code base (whether it be from an API change or a larger internals rewrite). Performance is an ever-present concern for every single commit and for every release. Performance implications must be well-defended and well-tested. In this talk we’re going to look at all the different performance concerns that the project deals with (processor, memory, network) and the tools that are used to make sure development continues to move smoothly.

Velocity 2011: Ian Flint, "World IPv6 Day: What We Learned" (18:24)
One of the greatest challenges facing an organization that wants to migrate to IPv6 is that the protocol is not supported on all clients. In fact, it is estimated that 1/2000 of clients will be unable to connect to a dual-stack site.
This poses an interesting question; who goes first? Enabling IPv6 in the current climate means sending customers to the competition. But if no one goes first, IPv6 will never happen.
This is the motivating factor behind World IPv6 Day. Major content providers have agreed to simultaneously enable IPv6 for a 24-hour period in early June. What this means is that rather than one site seeming broken, the whole Internet will seem broken to clients with this problem, which will call attention to deficiencies in the infrastructure of the Internet, rather than to individual content providers.
Enabling IPv6 is a full stack exercise – everything from routers to applications needs to be adapted to work with the new protocols. The purpose of this session is to share lessons learned in the preparation for World IPv6 day, and discoveries made on the day itself.
Ian Flint is a 14-year veteran of the Internet. He has founded and sold two successful startups, and has been an architect at eBay and Yahoo. He is currently the service architect for communities and communications at Yahoo.
Arvind Jain, "Making the Web Instant" (13:40)
Since last August, you have been able to get Google Search results instantly, even before you are done typing your query. But, that’s not enough. When you click on a result, you want that page to load instantly as well. If you don’t search, but navigate directly to a web page from the address bar, that should load instantly too.
We have implemented prerendering in Chrome to make these possible. This experimental feature utilizes the time when you are thinking or typing to predict what you need next, and gets it ready for you ahead of time. It is a challenging problem. A wrong prediction makes ads and analytics accounting inaccurate, wastes client resources and increases server load. We discuss how we address these concerns
Arvind Jain works as a Director of Enginering at Google. He is responsible for making Google products fast and also runs its “Make the Web faster” initiative.
