K8s, Keyboards, STS and Security

Hi there DevOps and friends!

We are finally announcing our first 2019 meetup and we hope it's gonna be a great one.

The location is at the Zendesk EMEA HQ, nice shiny new building located on 55 Charlemont Pl, Saint Kevin's, Dublin, D02 F985.

Talks are scheduled to start at 6:30pm sharp. Venue doors will be open from ~ 6pm so everyone can make it on time, and start socializing and get in the mood.

We have been away for a while, with this meeting we start being again present on the scene of the Dublin tech meetups.

Looking forward seeing you here.
