Python Ireland Monthly Meetup

Join us for our monthly event.

This month we are proud to host two speakers:

• Talk I: Deploy JupyterHub with Dask Gateway on Kubernetes in 15 minutes
  Deploying and maintaining a Dask+JupyterHub cluster on the Cloud is a very difficult task. Throw Kubernetes in there and it can all get overwhelming quite fast. With that challenge in mind, we decided to build a platform that uses Infrastructure-as-Code to handle and simplify such deployments. We call it: QHub. In this talk, I will show how QHub allows teams and individuals to build scalable data science environments under 15 minutes, deploying them to multiple Cloud providers. Kubernetes for those who don't know Kubernetes.Check out the projects at github.com/quansight/qhub-cloud and github.com/quansight/qhub-onprem.

Speaker: Tyler Potts
Coder at Quansight. Data Scientist, core maintainer for QHub Cloud and QHub OnPrem, and open source advocate. Recently arrived to the DevOps party. Graduated from BYU in Neuroscience. Likes chicken (raising and eating).

-Talk II: Adding structure to a sea of chaos: a principled approach to authorization using Python + SQLAlchemy

Authorization is an unstructured problem. Writing code to decide who can do what in your app can cover a broad set of cases. The most structure that typically gets applied to this problem area is a set of if statements and roles, but in reality, there are a lot more patterns and structure that we can apply. oso is an open source system for building authorization into applications. It's a bit like SQLAlchemy in that it provides a structured approach to authorization, much like SQLAlchemy does for data modeling and access. In this talk, we'll provide a mental model for authorization and show how to apply it using oso, Python and SQLAlchemy.

Speaker: Sam Scott
Cofounder and CTO of oso. He's received a PhD in Cryptography, is an engineer by training, and can discuss anything from authorization and security patterns in SQLAlchemy, to how oso works under the hood and interfaces with Python via FFI, to trends in security policy-as-code and his contributions to TLS 1.3.
