Disk Space - The final frontier?

I've been teaching ZFS and its concepts for a number of years in a classic, text-heavy slide presentation style. While this was successful, I noticed that over the years, it was hard to keep the audience's attention over a longer period of time. With the availability of image generators, I thought I'd flip this around: creating a visually appealing presentation of these topics with the learning objectives woven into story of space exploration. The more and more images that were generated, the more ideas I got, sparking my creativity like never before. This resulted in the presentation you're going to see. Basic concepts of ZFS (pools, datasets, RAID-levels, compression, snapshots) are presented in a visual style, both appealing to the audience and getting the points across at the same time. With this talk, I hope I can motivate others to abandon text-heavy slide presentations and move towards a visual style of demonstrating their topic. The story driven approach helps the audience see the benefits of ZFS (in this case) and allows them to learn the basics in a way that is fun and interesting.
