Avi Miller is a seasoned product and open-source engineering leader with 16 years focused on Linux, cloud-native tooling, and automation, most recently shaping Oracle Linux products including OS Management Hub and Automation Manager. He blends product strategy and hands-on DevOps work—contributing to high-profile projects like Docker/Moby and Home Assistant—bringing pragmatic build and packaging fixes that improve cross-distro and Oracle Linux support. Avi’s background spans developer advocacy, release and program management, and long-running stewardship of Oracle’s official container images, giving him rare visibility across engineering, product and go-to-market teams. Based in Melbourne, he combines a sysadmin’s attention to reproducible builds with a product manager’s customer-driven roadmap discipline, and quietly prefers practical, script-first solutions (he describes himself as a 50ish Aussie geek).

The Moby Project - a collaborative project for the container ecosystem to assemble container-based systems

Role in this project:

DevOps Engineer

Contributions:25 commits, 20 PRs, 192 comments in 1 year 9 months

Contributions summary:Avi's contributions primarily focus on improving the build process for the Docker engine, particularly concerning RPM package generation and Oracle Linux support. They implemented changes to `generate.sh` to make yum package installations more generic across distributions. A significant portion of their work involves adapting the build environment for Oracle Linux 6 and 7, enabling the use of the UEK R4 kernel headers for RPM builds. These changes included modifications to `hack/install.sh` to correctly determine the OS version and to incorporate the correct kernel headers into the environment.
