DevOps in Practice

We're excited to kick off Digital Tech London again as it's been a while (been focusing TOO much in our CAT meetup).

Join us for a night of learning around DevOps at the newly launched Microsoft space - Reactor. Speaker details are just being finalised and will be added shortly but rough timings can be found below:

18:00 - Arrive & Refreshments

Talk 1: 'Automating your infrastructure deployments in the Cloud with
Ansible, Terraform & Azure' + Q&A - Eduardo Ortega| MagenTys

Talk 2: 'Beyond Hello World: working with Terraform in a Team' + Q&A - Tom Harvey | Hashicorp

So you're sold on Infrastructure as Code - and you've provisioned your first resources with Terraform - but how do you roll that out to the rest of your team? In this talk, we'll cover how you can work effectively with Terraform in larger projects, show how you can interact with your current infrastructure and demonstrate how you can work effectively as a team with Terraform.

Talk 3: Software-defined infrastructure against the odds + Q&A - Paul Wilford & Henry Buckle | Hiscox

A little over 3 years ago, Hiscox started to experiment in the cloud, looking for opportunities that could provide value relating to resilience and pace of change. Hiscox started out with some clear principle based objectives such as “The ability to rebuild our business from code”. We’ve had some success in this space with large-scale production workloads running in Azure. Our next challenge relates to scaling our operational capabilities - in a world that interacts with many older systems – and this comes with a variety of interesting opportunities. Henry and Paul will talk a little about the journey and how we use technology as an enabler to set up Hiscox for Digital success.

20:10 - Network & Close

We look forward to seeing everyone and of course, please let us know if you would like to host or speak at an upcoming Meetup!
