Agenda

5:30pm - Arrival and networking

6:00pm - Pizza!

6:30pm - Topic 1: Presented by Pete Gatt (https://www.linkedin.com/in/petergatt/) from Vibrato. Pete is the CEO of Vibrato, and will be giving us a run-down from ChefConf 2017 (https://chefconf.chef.io/2017/) - all the great announcements, developments and initiatives. Find out what's happening in the wonderful world of Chef!

7:00pm - Topic 2: Presented by Matt Ray (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mhray/) from Chef (https://www.chef.io/), who will present on Automating Azure Compliance with InSpec.

Abstract: With the move to infrastructure as code and continuous integration/continuous delivery pipelines, it looked like releases would become more frequent and less problematic. Then the auditors showed up and made everyone stop what they were doing. How could this have been prevented? What if the audits were part of the process instead of a roadblock? What sort of visibility do we have into the state of our Azure infrastructure compliance? This talk will provide an overview of Chef's open-source InSpec project (https://inspec.io) and how you can build "Compliance as Code" into your Azure-based infrastructure.

7:50pm - Wrap-up and other business

8:00pm - Let us buy you a drink at The Left Bank (http://www.leftbankmelbourne.com.au/) (just around the corner from Freshwater Place, overlooking the river) to chat with your colleagues, meet new people, discuss the evening's presentations and chill out :-)
