Data Engineering Melbourne Meetup - Welcome to 2019

Data Engineers of Melbourne unite! Let's kick off the new year with some great data engineering talk, networking and knowledge sharing! We don't have any talks booked in yet, so let me know if you've got something to talk about. Talks can run anywhere from 5-30 mins. Let me know if you think you've got something to talk about - all skill levels welcome to present something - just about everything is new to someone!

We will also have time after the talks for a community noticeboard where folks will have around 60 seconds to pitch their wares - if you've got an awesome data job going or you are available to fill an awesome job or even that you've found a great open source tool that we should all be contributing to, this will be the time to let us know!

Rizvi Rahim - Azure vs AWS: The Devil is in the Details

On paper, Azure and AWS look quite similar. However, the many problems (and advantages) of Azure were only discovered after implementing big-data projects on each of these clouds. This technical talk goes through the oddities and idiosyncrasies of Azure when compared to AWS, and the few cases where it shines. We'll go through challenges faced when using services like Azure HDInsight (Hadoop), Data Factory (ETL), Blob Storage, File Shares, Disk Storage, Active Directory and more.
