AWS Baltimore November Meetup - Privacy By design, ECS And Kubernetes

At this month’s Special AWS Meetup, we have special guests from EViD Lab Team from UMD and AWS. And also We will meet at Beacon Street Services in Baltimore - their office is at 1125 N Charles St, Baltimore, MD 21201.

The Topics are:

1. Privacy by Design: The Game
   Can you create a privacy policy for your app and cloud computing platform that satisfies users and your own values without sacrificing the data your app needs to run and profit? Join a team for this cooperative board game that explores real-world tensions in privacy. In this session, you’ll break into small groups to play the game created by a team at the University of Maryland, and then join a discussion with all players to give feedback on your experience and talk about solving privacy issues in information technology, cloud computing, and mobile applications.

Speaker:
Mary Kendig is a Project Manager at the College of Information Studies at the University of Maryland. Coordinating university-based research projects in ethical design and online data ethics, Mary supports academic leaders in answering ethical questions on how we develop applications, use big data, and educate future computer/data scientists to consider the impacts of their design, data collection, and algorithms. Under the NSF-funded project Ethical Computing in Mobile & Wearable App Development, Mary supported the creation of the Privacy-by-Design: The Game, a cooperative board game that explores real-world tensions in mobile privacy and app design.

2. Introduction to Kubernetes and Elastic Container Service (ECS)

This talk will cover an overview of Kubernetes and Elastic Container Service (ECS), which comprises each service and use cases for their applications. Kubernetes is a portable, extensible, open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services, that facilitates both declarative configuration and automation. ECS is the AWS native service offering many of the same benefits, with a few key differences
