PyData Hamburg November Meetup - Head in the Clouds ☁️

Hi Pythonistas

this November meetup is all about the cloud. Our two speakers from Hamburg and San Francisco will get you started with Python on the major cloud platforms and turning your infrastructure into code.

What you need to know to participate in remote meetups:

• Our virtual room capacity is limited to 100 attendees. So RSVP on meetup.com please and do take the time to cancel if you cannot join.
• The link to the Zoom meeting will be displayed to you on meetup.com when you RSVP. Please do not share it.
• You need to be logged in with a free Zoom account - this is an anti-troll measure.
• Please check in a few minutes before the event starts so we can support you with questions about access.

See you soon

# Networking: join at 18:15h, bring a beverage and meet other attendees sharing your interest in cloud services and Python - the talks will start at about 18:30h

# (Talk 1) Samantha Zeitlin: Snakes on a Cloud - Python on Google Cloud Platform vs. Amazon Web Services

Infrastructure as code is far more maintainable than configuring everything manually. But working in the cloud means learning the eccentricities of many separate services. Samantha will share lessons learned from using both AWS and GCP, comparing major differences between similar services and sharing example code illustrating some pros and cons.

Samantha is a data scientist and engineer who lives in San Francisco.

# (Talk 2) Alessandro Romano: AWS CDK - provision your cloud application using Python

The Amazon Web Services Cloud Development Kit makes it possible to define the stack of a cloud application through a programming language (eg. Python). It's the implementation of the process "Infrastructure as a code" and is built on the top of Cloud Formation. It helps us boosting the creation and deployment of a cloud application without diving into complex CF configuration files.

Alessandro is a data scientist working for a logistics company called Cargonexx. He is always searching for a better way to automate complex processes and make life easier for data scientists.
