This is quite an informal group whose members consists of the local IT development and educational community and those interested in getting together and discussing tech topics.
Location/Time: Unless specified on a particular meet up event, meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month in the downstairs room of D Block, Otago Polytechnic, Harbour Terrace (https://goo.gl/maps/ysopnxSpyFN2) 5:30pm till 7pm. Thanks to Otago Polytechnic for the kind use of their facilities.
After the meet up we generally meet for food/drink at Eureka in Albany Street - a short walk away.
This will be what I hope to be the start of a series of talks. We discussed at the May meeting the idea of discussing how different companies actually go about deploying their software, whatever that means for the company and product.
I also put up my hand to go first, so this month we'll be covering how Stacklet get deployed.
I'll be covering:
what are the components that we are deploying
what technologies these components need to operate
how we go about deploying these components
the difference between "on prem" vs SaaS
some terraform
AWS code build jobs and pipelines
how dev and qa deployments differ
how we've managed to automate various components
There should be ample time to discuss things as we go and to talk questions.
