"Lessons learned from writing over 300,000 lines of infrastructure code"

This talk is a concise masterclass on how to write infrastructure code. Yevgeniy will share key lessons from the “Infrastructure Cookbook” developed at Gruntwork while creating and maintaining a library of over 300,000 lines of infrastructure code as used in production by hundreds of companies. Hear the war stories, laugh about all the mistakes made along the way, and learn what Terraform, Packer, Docker, and Go look like in the wild.

Yevgeniy's presentation will showcase a module his company built for Couchbase.

Yevgeniy (Jim) Brikman loves programming, writing, speaking, travelling, and lifting heavy things. He does not love talking about himself in the 3rd person. He is the co-founder of Gruntwork, a company that provides DevOps as a Service. He's also the author of two books published by O'Reilly Media: Hello, Startup and Terraform: Up & Running.

Previously, he worked as a software engineer at LinkedIn, TripAdvisor, Cisco Systems, and Thomson Financial and got his BS and Masters at Cornell University

19.30pm - Steven Bryen, Senior Evangelist AWS

Talk Title: "Artificial Intelligence & AWS : State of the Union"

Amazon SageMaker takes away the heavy lifting of machine learning, so you can build, train, and deploy machine learning models quickly and easily.
It is a fully-managed platform that enables developers and data scientists to quickly and easily build, train, and deploy machine learning models at any scale.
Amazon SageMaker removes all the barriers that typically slow down developers who want to use machine learning.

Steven Bryen, senior Technical Evangelist with AWS, will take us through a Sagemaker Builder's Lab, focusing on the key steps involved in building, training and deploying ML models.

Steven will also discuss more recent developments in AI and the future of AI in the cloud.
