DevOps Manchester - 22nd July
Hi all,
Great news we’ve scheduled our 3rd DevOps meetup.
Our next meetup will be on Tuesday 22nd July 2014 6:30pm at TechHub Manchester. Tickets are available on EventBrite
We have two speakers lined up...
DevOps, OpenStack and the Software Defined Economy - Chris Reid - PointGreen
The current compute environment is changing at a pace never seen before; traditional silo’s like Data Centres, Networking, Storage, Unified Comms and Application are colliding in a virtual frenzy with the added fog of Open Source, all driven by a product focused DevOps methodology. Chris will work through various terms associated with DevOps such as ‘Pets and Cattle, Virtual Machines, SDN and Affinities’ and step the audience through(at a high level) showing how they link together to deliver a Software Define Economy.
Chris works for PointGreen helping technology clients access new European markets. His focus is on open source Virtual Machine Orchestration platforms like OpenStack and Cloudstack, and rich set of emerging Compute, Storage and Network options now available from these platforms. He recently spoke at the SDN World Summit in London and contributes to various open source initiatives.
Story of our first DDoS - Will Jessop - basecamp.com - @will_j
Will’s is a story of their first DDoS, how we mitigated it technically and from an organisational perspective, and how you can use this experience to reduce the impact of events for your own infrastructure.
Will Jessop, is a sysadmin at Basecamp.com where he mostly does programming. Based just South of Manchester, in his words - he builds robots and appreciates animated gifs!Â
