Immutable Infrastructure and Platform Clouds, oh my!

Come for an entertaining evening talking about the future of cloud and devops! We are colocating with the OpenLate @ OpenDNS meetup!

Talk topics include:

• Containers: where did they come from, where are they going, and why did Docker seemingly take over the world? What about Buildpacks from Heroku and Cloud Foundry, how do they compare to Dockerfiles?

• Immutable / disposable infrastructure: why it is the foundation of more and more large scale IT shops.

• Structured and Unstructured Platforms: should we roll our own PaaS with Docker and Kubernetes? Cloud foundry looks so big, how do I get started? And what is this Lattice thing?

• Cloud Native and Microservices Architecture: how do you design for a cloud platform? How is persistent state managed? What is service discovery and what options do I have as a Spring Java, Ruby, Node, or Python developer?

Speaker: Stuart Charlton is an Advisory Field Engineer with Pivotal Software, focusing on Cloud Foundry, the former General Manager of Cloud Ops at Canadian Pacific Railway, and previously CTO of Elastra, an early cloud startup.
