"Proactive Ops" in AWS

THIS IS AN IN-PERSON EVENT! LIVE STREAM VIEWERS CAN STILL WATCH IT LIVE ON TWITCH! PLEASE RSVP ONLY FOR IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE!

This will be an in-person event! We are meeting again this month in the Canberra AWS Office... come along and say hi in person, have some food on us and hear from Dave Hall sharing his thoughts on "proactive ops"

Engineering teams are adopting event driven architectures with herds of serverless microservices. Why can’t Ops play buzzword bingo too?
Most significant issues in productions start off as small problems that are overlooked or ignored. These small problems are usually can be captured via events. Those events can be routed to handlers than can react and remediate the issues.
During this session we will explore what a “proactive ops” platform can look like. Areas covered in this session will include capturing events from SaaS products, event routing, building reusable composable components, and the different approaches to deal with policy violations. By then end of session an attendee should be able to start building their own serverless, event driven, proactive ops platform.

Dave is a recovering tech lead. He works with enterprises through to startups to build high performing teams. With a cloud first approach to automation, he focuses on time to first value. When Dave isn’t travelling, he’s based in Bruce.

The schedule for the evening is as follows:
5:30 pm - Food and networking with everyone
6:00 pm - Presentation start (LIVE STREAM STARTS HERE), beginning with a curated summary of whats new in AWS this month
6:15 pm - Main presentation

Please RVSP for the event here so we can get catering numbers right, and we also need a list of names of attendees for our office security folk to sign people in on the day. If you get stuck outside of our office, send John Hyland or Brian Farnhill (the event organisers here) a message and we'll send someone downstairs to get you. We should have an AWS employee downstairs up to 6pm to help guide people in.
