Proposals - Montreal 2017
Amazon Web Services crash course
You've heard of AWS, but haven't yet figured out what all of those cloud acronyms stand for? This (updated for 2017!) introductory session will give you a baseline for getting started on AWS. In this talk, we'll cover file hosting (S3, CloudFront), server hosting (EC2, VPC), DNS hosting (Route53), database hosting (RDS), and some additional things like Cloudwatch, SNS, ElasticCache, and more, but we'll focus on the moving parts of EC2.
Advanced Virtualmachining with Vagrant
You've got a basic virtual machine setup, but want to take it to the next level? In this talk, we'll cover advanced virtual machine management for teams, with Vagrant, including: basic VM-to-production philosophy, bootstrapping for everyone, managed Vagrantfile, tricks for multiple VMs, caching, packaging, and other Vagrant tips. You'll see how we run VMs at Fictive Kin, for everyone—not just our technically-savvy developers.
Intro to highly available web apps
At 3 AM, when a backhoe cuts the fiber line that connects your server to the Internet, who wants to be awoken by a phone alert from their monitoring system freaking out? Not me. This talk provides an app-platform-agnostic overview of building applications that can withstand whole data center failures without going down, with a focus on Amazon Web Services EC2 and related infrastructure.
