Agenda for IaC focused 93rd DevClub.lv

• Andrey Adamovich will give a talk on “Serverless Patterns“.
  This talk is a quick journey into the reasoning and beauty of serverless approach to architecture. Let’s go through the platform (vendor-based, container-based, function vs service vs job) and function (functionlith/lambdalith, fat function, single purpose function, step function, routing function, circuit breaker function etc.) patterns that serverless community has come up so far with and some more. It’s going to be fun!
  (Language – English)
  Tags: Serverless, Architecture, Cloud-native, Patterns  
  
  Andrey works as a free-lance DevOps consultant and trainer. On March 10 -12 Andrey will give 3-day intensive webinar on DevOps, Automation, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, clouds and security!  

• Jurijs Fadejevs from If Insurance is a cloud enthusiast with 5 years of experience in Microsoft Azure, will talk about his vision of ‘Infrastructure as Code‘ approach. Covered technology stack will include: Azure Resource Manager, Ansible, Docker, Azure DevOps and Power Automate.
  (Language – English)
  Tags: IaC, Azure, DevOps
  
  Jurijs is strong-willed, practical and self-starter IT specialist with 10+ years of progressive experience across the infrastructure verticals: systems, servers, virtualization, storage and networks. 

• Joel Lord from Red Hat will give a talk Kube Restaurant.
  You’ve been to a restaurant before, right? Have you noticed how everything is structured? Everyone has a job and there is a chain of command. You can’t just walk into the kitchen and tell the cook how you want your steak done.  Kubernetes is actually very similar to this. You will deploy some pods that do specific things and set the rules of communications that dictate how they all talk to each other. By expanding on the idea of a restaurant, the speaker will slowly introduce some of the basic concepts behind modern devops in a fun and easy to understand way. The attendees will come out of this talk with a whole new perspective on what Kubernetes does and how to apply this in their software development practices.
  (Language – English)
  Tags: Kubernetes, K8s, Containers, Cloud-Native
  
  Joel is a developer advocate are Red Hat OpenShift where he helps developers learn about containers and container orchestration technologies. Btw, there is course facilitated by Joel available – From Software Developer To DevOps Wizard – Nine Brains.

• Hanno Jarvet from Jarvet Consulting will give a talk “Introduction to: How to predict and manage towards multiple futures.”
  The future is already here – it’s just not very evenly distributed. (William Gibson) Technology is now an integral part of any organisation’s future. This places new demands on CIOs and CTOs to:
  – constantly increase productivity while reducing costs
  – align the IT organisation and the technology behind the business vision
  – support different stakeholders with their ever increasing needs in different contexts.
  Historically strategies, roadmaps and business plans were used to communicate intent. Now there is a better way to bridge the gap between business and IT, predict the future and to help get everyone on the same page.
  If you understand your value chain and the evolution of technology, a multitude of events can even be predicted and prepared for. I will share practical examples, tools and models that I have used to help organisations make progress in predicting and adapting for the future.
  – Common economic patterns: e.g. why DevOps is the new legacy.
  – Strategic situational awareness: How to predict the actions of your global competition.
  – Applying doctrine.
  – Achieving consensus on technology selection.
  – Choosing contextually appropriate methods (Agile, Waterfall, Lean etc.).
  – Achieving a common vocabulary with all stakeholders. – Managing the current situation towards multiple futures.
