Croydon DevOps Meetup
Details
Croydon DevOps meetup is going Virtual. Join us online, meet the community and listen to our fantastic speakers.
We have two fantastic talks to kick off our first virtual meetup. We are delighted to host Steve Giguere from Aqua who will discuss security in Cloud Native space and James Relph from Capgemini who will be discussing changing team roles in modern organisations
Meetup Schedule:
18:00 - 18:10 Meet & Greet & Quiz
18:10 - 18:55 OpenSource security tools for Cloud Native Environments
Steve is a DevSecOps advocate for Aqua Security with experience in secure development using budget friendly open source to enterprise ready, cutting edge cloud native technologies. He has a podcast called BeerSecOps featuring guests such as Kelsey Hightower and Gene Kim.
Securing production workloads used to be the responsibility of information security specialists. In a DevOps culture, security becomes part of everyone's responsibility as security shifts left. In this talk, we will look at the cloud-native threat landscape and the conflicting cultures within. We will review how security can be embedded at every stage of the CI/CD pipeline, and demonstrate opensource tools that can be used to assess the security posture of your Kubernetes cluster, container images and extend that into how at scale, enterprise solutions can work to prevent real attacks to our production micro-service deployments.
19:00 - 19:30. Kill Your Platforms
James is a Senior Platform Engineer with Capgemini. James spent 12 years managing Unix systems for companies around the UK, before working with clients across several industries in early transitions to AWS. Since joining Capgemini he has primarily worked with public sector clients dealing with large scale AWS estates, Kubernetes clusters and CI/CD infrastructure. He spends a significant amount of his time working with organisations on DevOps transformation projects and is a firm believer in the advantages the methodologies can bring.
With the evolution of software delivery and the move of traditional platform roles towards typical software engineering methods through the use of Infrastructure as Code and similar DevOps methodologies, does the definition of a platform team make any sense in a modern organisation.
Please note, we will be using Microsoft Teams for this Meetup. Either have the Team app installed or alternatively access the link via Chrome.
