Meeting #25: Securing Data Lakes, and Self-Healing Pipelines

This meeting, we'll be looking into how to secure your data lakes in AWS, with the help of Karthik Selvaraj from Purplebytes.

Afterwards, our very own Steve Wilding will be demonstrating how to create self-healing, self-bootstrapping pipelines across multiple accounts.

We are hosted, as every, by our dear friends from Metail.

18:30: Arrival

19:00: Announcements - Jon Green (Adeptium)

19:10: PRESENTATION: “Securing your Data lake in AWS” – Karthik Selvaraj (Purple Bytes)

The worst thing that can happen to the owner of a data lake is to have it maliciously damaged or its sensitive data exposed to the outside world. Karthik will show us how to ensure our data lakes remain ours and ours alone.

20:00: Break

20:10 : PRESENTATION: "Multi-Account, Self-Healing, Self-Bootstrapping pipelines" - Stephen Wilding (Hydras)

The title speaks for itself! Self-healing infrastructure is the new normal in cloud engineering, and Steve will be taking us through how to create exactly that. We're even promised a live demo!

21:00 Social, Pizza, Networking, Close.

As usual Metail will be hosting us for this evening and will be providing refreshments.

How to get here:

Metail's based at Janus House, which is next door but one and above of Sainsburys local store

By car:

Park at Queen Anne's Car Park on Gonville Place, walk across Parker's Piece opposite, towards the University Arms (big hotel), and then along St Andrew's St. in the same direction.

Or park at any Park and Ride car park, take the bus into town, and get off at Drummer Street. Walk down Emmanuel St. to St Andrew's St., turn left, and it's about 200yds on the left.

By train:

To Cambridge Station, then walk down Station Road to Hill's Road junction. Turn right, and it's about a mile's walk. Or catch the Citi 1, Citi 3 or Citi 8 (or 1A) bus from the Station, towards town - the bus stops are to the left, as you exit the station. Get off when you see a Sainsburys on the right!

By bus:

Too many bus routes serve the area to cover here: quite a lot of them stop just outside. Check the Cambridge Buses ( https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/info/20017/buses ) website for details.

By bike:

There are a few bike loop sets nearby. The closest is directly opposite the main entrance outside the council building, also just round the corner near the Mai Thai restuarant and a tiny bit further on the otherside of the University Arms by Pizza Hut. Those are all exposed. There's an underground bike park in the Lion Yard/Grand Arcade. The bike entrance is just under Carluccio's.
