This talk will dive into some of the problems of running servers at scale, including data from surveys about physical infrastructure and firmware concerns. In this talk, we'll understand how open source firmware will solve some of these common problems. Why is open source firmware important for security and root of trust? We'll discuss that as well, and cover the state of open source firmware today.
