This month we have a special guest! Kyle Burton is visiting to speak about Chef-Solo...

Leveraging Chef-Solo for Less than Enterprise Scale Deployments

"When you’re a small, and I mean small, company with an even smaller IT department you can’t afford not to automate provisioning and system administration. Developing a culture of automation early on is vital for ensuring that your infrastrucutre group can scale itself as your business grows. Chef is an up and coming system administration automation framework that makes installing and managing cloud computing systems take less time and produces more consistent results. This talk will cover the architecture of Chef-Solo, getting started, core features and best practices for maintaing a cluster of systems."

After his talk, we'll head next door to Lancaster Brewing Company for some food and drink.
