Cork .NET and Azure Meetup

Going to the cloud is a given. Endless possibilities with over 200 managed services, global coverage with datacenters everywhere and you are charged per usage. But which cloud should you use? As a Microsoft developer, you'd choose Azure right?!

In this session I'll show you the similarities between the three major clouds Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS and Google GCP. I'll argue that in the end there isn't too much difference. The only thing that matters is that you should see the whole picture.

As a non-techie in tech Imposter Syndrome has been a close friend of mine for many years and as it turns out techies in tech know it well too.

When I kicked off Lisa at the Edge last year I struggled hard with Imposter Syndrome. I wanted to understand more about it so I leaned in and did some research.

I found a little system based on the 5 Rs and I’ll share that knowledge in this session and provide a system for coping with Imposter Syndrome.
