The Linux in-kernel NFS server continues its history of innovation, leveraging the rich storage and network ecosystems available in the Linux kernel. This talk covers accomplishments made during the past year and provides a roadmap for new developments planned for the near future. Topics will include:

* Security enhancements, such as RPC with TLS and new Kerberos enctypes
* Native support for pNFS block layout with SCSI, iSCSI, and soon NVMe devices
* Community-developed open source CI infrastructure now used to qualify upstream kernels
* Support for a variety of RDMA capabilities, including software emulated devices
* More robust handling of network partitions

Come join the discussion and learn how to get involved with the premier NFS server implementation on Linux.
