CloudAustin's Dog Days of DevOps

August. Summer's gotten long. The kids aren't back to school yet. People are taking vacations. It's hot. Tech meetups lag.

We have the antidote for these summer doldrums! CloudAustin's Dog Days of DevOps, like our Twelve Clouds of Christmas, is a fast, furious, fun style meetup. Here's a past event for review: https://www.meetup.com/CloudAustin/events/jfvfcryzlbbc/

Other meetups joining us include Austin Automation Professionals, Austin Postgres Meetup, and more! (If your meetup wants to join in, just leave a comment below with a link!)

Thank you to our sponsors! Q2 is providing our venue and a raffle prize, and AWS is providing our food tonight!

We'll have a dozen (or more) 5 minute lightning demos/talks delivered by all of you! To speak, comment below with your name and the talk's title and 1-sentence blurb to get on the list. Any cloudy, devopsey, containery, high-tech-y talk or demo is welcome. No sales jobs but other than that all are welcome!
