DevOps Exchange June 2017
Details
June's DevOps Exchange is arranged for Thursday the 29th, with another great lineup, and a treat if you're interested in Container Orchestration technology.
We have the legendary Kelsey Hightower (https://twitter.com/kelseyhightower) very kindly zooming in via Video link to talk the DOXLON audience through Istio (https://istio.io)and Kubernetes. If you've never had the pleasure of hearing Kelsey talk live, this is your opportunity to do so.
We will also be hearing from James Rasell (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesrasell/), who will be talking about how the team at Elsevier have created a complex container solution using Nomad.
We also have an interesting talk from Graeme Forbes (https://www.linkedin.com/in/graeme-forbes-1951b243/) from Infinity Works, who will walk us through productionising a new application on a deadline.
The agenda will be as follows:
6.30pm: Arrive and drinks
7pm: James Rasell, Principal Systems Engineer, Elsevier
Title: Containing Elsevier's World Using HashiCorp Nomad
Abstract: For the past four months, Elsevier's Core Engineering team have embarked on a project to design and develop a container solution. Adopting a container platform, an inherently complex task, is made all the more difficult by the requirement that each development team be able to deploy, run, and maintain their own clusters with little to no core infrastructure support. James Rasell, a principal engineer within the core engineering team, will demonstrate the framework and its capabilities from deployment to autoscaling.
7.20pm: Graeme Forbes, Senior Consultant, Infinity Works
Title: Webscale in 15 days
A story of a new employee's trial by fire, productionising a never-seen-before application with very tight deadlines.
How to approach the seemingly impossible and succeed, even if the scope changes...
7.40pm: Break + Pizza/Drinks
8pm: Kelsey Hightower
Title: Istio and Kubernetes (wifi connection permitting)
Abstract: Kubernetes changed how we deploy applications. Istio (https://istio.io) is going to change how we connect, manage, and secure them.
Istio is an open platform that provides a uniform way to connect, manage, and secure microservices. Istio supports managing traffic flows between microservices, enforcing access policies, and aggregating telemetry data, all without requiring changes to the microservice code
As always, we have quite a tight capacity, so please register as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.
Look forward to seeing you there,
All the best,
Tony (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonychapmanlinux/), Luke (https://www.linkedin.com/in/luke-gunn-61b4107b/), David (https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidgildeh/), and the rest of the DOXLON team
