AWS Leeds User Group #3: Let's talk about SCALE / re:Invent 2014

Details

Hey Guys,

Following on from a great event last night we're pleased to announce the next event!

This is likely to be the last one we'll be doing this year as December is coming into silly season. With silly season come some pretty variable workloads as things like Christmas shopping can present sometimes unpredictable load demands, so we're going to be focussing on SCALE as well as a recap of re:Invent 2014 which is on a few days prior in Las Vegas.

Wes from Reconnix (https://www.reconnix.com/) is going to be speaking about how they ramp up their AWS usage to support music launches, with the kicker being that they don't use EC2 to do so which should be pretty interesting.

From Wes: "When one of our clients releases a TV advert for anything, we need to be ready, when they tweet something, we have to be ready and when they launch an album we really have to be ready."

We've also got a talk courtesy of David from the other end of the space about how Amplience (http://amplience.com/) scale on EC2 using autoscaling and ELB.

Finally Ian from AWS will be giving us a recap of what came out of re:Invent 2014 - if you want to know what's new and what's changed on the AWS ecosystem and can't make it to Las Vegas, this is the event you need to be at.
