Common sense is applied. Be respectful. Be helpful. And understand that the group has members of all skill levels and there is no such thing as a 'stupid question'.
We start at 6.10pm, quick introduction and then onto our speakers:
6.15pm:
How to create a system of Immutable Infrastructure by Gary Ewan Park.
Switching to a system of Immutable Infrastructure means that new machines are provisioned and swapped out with existing machines, which can then be destroyed.
This helps to reduce inconsistencies between servers, and as a result, improves the reliability of the deployment process.
In this talk, we will look at how we can use tools like Packer, Chocolatey and Terraform to help create a system for deploying Immutable Infrastructure.
We break around 7.15pm for food.
7.45pm:
