Real world Ruby tricks - Robie Lutsey (https://www.meetup.com/DevOpsDC/members/35796792/) - No plan survives engagement with the enemy and no script survives engagement with the environment. I'll show a couple of Ruby-isms that I've found make my scripts more robust, safer, or more useful in messy situations. Lightning Talks Adaptive Fault Detection - Baron Schwartz (https://www.meetup.com/DevOpsDC/members/12351617/) (@xaprb (https://twitter.com/xaprb)) Using Chef Environments - Seth Vargo (https://www.meetup.com/DevOpsDC/members/74559522/) (@sethvargo (https://twitter.com/sethvargo)) YOUR lightning talk here. Logstash - Zach Dunn (https://www.meetup.com/DevOpsDC/members/18397781/) - We all write logs, and presumably we are logging things that are important. But we almost never actually read them, or create anything from them. Why not? Logstash lets just take logs, create searchable indexes, and make use of what we are already collecting. Logs can be for more than just for debugging! Want to present? Get in touch with Nathen (https://www.meetup.com/DevOpsDC/members/9746108/)!
