+### (fr) Garage, un système de stockage de données géo-distribué léger et robuste
+
+Garage est un système de stockage de données léger, géo-distribué, qui
+implémente le protocole de stockage S3 de Amazon. Garage est destiné
+principalement à l'auto-hébergement sur du matériel courant d'occasion. À ce
+titre, il doit tolérer un grand nombre de pannes: coupures de courant, coupures
+de connexion Internet, pannes de machines, ... Il doit également être facile à
+déployer et à maintenir, afin de pouvoir être facilement utilisé par des
+amateurs ou des petites organisations.
+
+Cette présentation vous proposera un aperçu de Garage et du choix technique
+principal qui rend un système comme Garage possible: le refus d'utiliser des
+algorithmes de consensus, remplacés avantageusement par des méthodes à
+cohérence faible.  Notre modèle est fortement inspiré de la base de donnée
+Dynamo (DeCandia et al, 2007), et fait usage des types de données CRDT (Shapiro
+et al, 2011).  Nous exploreront comment ces méthodes s'appliquent à la
+construction de l'abstraction "stockage objet" dans un système distribué, et
+quelles autres abstractions peuvent ou ne peuvent pas être construites dans ce
+modèle.
+
+### (en) Garage, a lightweight and robust geo-distributed data storage system
+
+Garage is a lightweight geo-distributed data store that implements the Amazon
+S3 object storage protocol.  Garage is meant primarily for self-hosting at home
+on second-hand commodity hardware, meaning it has to tolerate a wide variety of
+failure scenarios such as power cuts, Internet disconnections and machine
+crashes. It also has to be easy to deploy and maintain, so that hobbyists and
+small organizations can use it without trouble. 
+
+This talk will present Garage and the key technical choice that made Garage
+possible: refusing to use consensus algorithms and using instead weak
+consistency methods, with a model that is loosely based on that of the Dynamo
+database (DeCandia et al, 2007) and that makes heavy use of conflict-free
+replicated data types (Shapiro et al, 2011).  We will explore how these methods
+are suited to building the "object store" abstraction in a distributed system,
+and what other abstractions are possible or impossible to build in this model.

+			\item \textbf{Operations must be independent},

+				\vspace{1em}
+			\item Strongest achievable consistency:\\

+	Consensus can be implemented reasonably well in practice, so why avoid it?
+	\vspace{2em}
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item \textbf{Software complexity:} RAFT and PAXOS are complex beasts;\\
+			harder to prove, harder to reason about
+			\vspace{1.5em}
+		\item \textbf{Performance issues:}
+			\vspace{1em}
+			\begin{itemize}
+				\item Taking a decision may take an \textbf{arbitrary number of steps} (in adverse scenarios)
+					\vspace{1em}
+				\item The leader is a \textbf{bottleneck} for all requests;\\
+					even in leaderless approaches, \textbf{all nodes must process all operations in order}
+					\vspace{1em}
+				\item Particularly \textbf{sensitive to higher latency} between nodes

+	\frametitle{Objective: the right level of consistency for Garage}
+
+	\underline{Constraints:} slow network (geographical distance), node unavailability/crashes\\
+	\underline{Objective:} maximize availability, maintain an \emph{appropriate level of consistency}\\
+	\vspace{1em}
+	\begin{enumerate}
+		\item<2-> \textbf{Weak consistency for most things}\\
+			\vspace{1em}
+			\underline{Example:} \texttt{PutObject}\\
+			\vspace{.5em}
+			If two clients write the same
+			object at the same time, one of the two is implicitly overwritten.
+			No need to coordinate, use a \emph{last-writer-wins register}.

+		Leaderless consensus (Antoniadis et al., 2023) alleviates issues with RAFT and PAXOS:
+			\vspace{1em}
+		\begin{itemize}
+			\item \textbf{No leader.} All nodes participate equally at each time step,
+				and different nodes can be unavailable at different times without issues.
+				\\ \vspace{.5em} $\to$ better tolerance to the high latency (remove bottleneck issue)
+				\\ $\to$ tolerates crash transparently
+				\vspace{1em}
+			\item \textbf{Simpler formalization.} The algorithm is very simple to express and to analyze in mathematical terms.
