DevOps Vancouver - February 2022

Join us at 6 p.m. on February 22 for the next edition of the DevOps Vancouver Meetup, featuring Reza Ramezanpour who will be speaking about Project Calico.

Reza is a Developer Advocate at Tigera ([reza@tigera.io](mailto:reza@tigera.io) / (Reza Ramezanpour | LinkedIn) where he works on demystifying the less-known capabilities of Open Source. Throughout his career in IT, he has been a developer, system administrator and reverse engineer.
Project Calico is an open-source project and network security solution for containers, virtual machines, and native host-based workloads, with an active development and user community. Calico Open Source was born out of this project and has grown to be the most widely adopted solution for container networking and security, powering more than 100M containers across 2M+ nodes in 166 countries. Calico supports a broad range of platforms including Kubernetes, OpenShift, Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (MKE), OpenStack, and bare metal services. Calico provides developers and cluster operators with a consistent experience and set of capabilities whether running in public cloud or on-prem, on a single node, or across a multi-thousand node cluster.
The Calico community has 7000+ active Slack members and over 200 contributors around the world. The invention and continuous development of this solution would not be possible without the help of contributors, ranging from individual contributors to the largest tech companies.
In his talk, Reza will give us an introduction to Calico and enlighten us on:
