October 2018 - IaaS in the Cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP)

Daniel Colon will be our presenter for October. His notes for this session:

Infrastructure as a service is one of the three fundamental cloud service models. It is usually the easiest and quickest way to migrate a traditional hosting of an existing application into the cloud.

During this presentation I will go over IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). I will explain how on-premise networking maps to the cloud. We will then walk through setting up a Virtual Machine (VM) in AWS, Azure and GCP.

The deck and deploy/demo instructions used in this session will be available on the Cloud NH Github repo (https://github.com/CloudNH/meetups/).

Audience:
Developers, architects, and networking professionals interested in learning about IaaS offerings from different public cloud providers. Technical decision makers and product planners thinking about moving existing applications hosted on-premise to the cloud.

Skills/Pre-requisites:
No IaaS experience necessary. Some experience with networking will be helpful, but not required, to understand technical concepts.
