SUMMARY:Evergreen Fields and Resiliency in the Cloud
DESCRIPTION:Join Cloud Austin for a remote Zoom meeting where we tip toe th
 rough the evergreen world of infrastructure resiliency with Nathaniel Elio
 t and Tim Veil!\n\nOur agenda:\n\n6:00 PM Meeting start\, welcome\, commun
 ity talk & announcements\n6:15 PM Speaker 1: "Evergreen Development: Recen
 t Tech Trends and Their Implications" by Nathaniel Eliot\n6:45 PM Speaker 
 2: "Architected for the Cloud - CockroachDB" by Tim Veil\n8:00 PM Meeting 
 ends\n\nMore about this month’s topics:\n\nTitle:\nEvergreen Development
 : Recent Tech Trends and Their Implications\n\nAbstract:\nRecent innovatio
 ns in open source software orchestration tools (e.g. Kubernetes\, Terrafor
 m)\, and widespread adoption of the SRE model\, have democratized a path f
 or reliable online services. We'll explore what these changes are about\, 
 how to take advantage of them\, and what this means for the shape of exist
 ing and new business in the coming years.\n\nWe'll discuss a development m
 odel called evergreen development\, which relies on the capabilities these
  social and technical tools unlock. Evergreen uses simple\, proven\, and p
 rincipled methods to reduce attack surfaces organization-wide. Standardize
 d build pipelines\, rapidly building immutable images that are automatical
 ly pinned to the latest stable version\, can turn dependency drift from a 
 hard-to-manage problem into an expected (and easily managed) exception. By
  defaulting builds to using the latest available version\, security patche
 s are more regularly deployed to production. Since the vast majority of ex
 ploits are known ones\, this common sense approach can mitigate or prevent
  a wide variety of attacks.\n\nWe'll also discuss the non-security aspects
  of evergreen development\, and how those might help pioneer this style of
  development at your organization.\n\nBiography:\nNathan is the founder an
 d CEO of The Greenfield Guild\, a consulting firm designed to bring DevOps
 \, Cloud Native and Open Source practices and tools to wider audiences. Th
 roughout his two decades in the industry he has worked at companies like B
 azaarvoice\, Infochimps\, and Steve Jackson Games as a system administrato
 r and operations engineer where his primary focus has been on building sta
 ble and repeatable infrastructure\, often from the ground up. In his off t
 ime he enjoys tinkering with blockchain and machine learning\, medieval wa
 r reenactments and dancing.\n\nTitle:\nArchitected for the Cloud - Cockroa
 chDB\n\nAbstract:\nBuilt from the ground up\, CockroachDB delivers on the 
 key cloud-native primitives of horizontal scale\, no single points of fail
 ure\, survivability\, automatable operations\, and no platform-specific en
 cumbrances.\n\nCome to this session to learn how to store stateful data fr
 om your microservices in an always-on\, ACID-Compliant SQL database. Cockr
 oachDB can run within the same K8s cluster as your microservices\; it will
  keep running even in the case of multiple instance failures and will auto
 -recover itself the same way your microservice apps do. In addition\, you 
 can even extend the cluster to other K8s clusters to keep the same state f
 or your microservices so your app can be resilient across regions.\n\nIn t
 his session\, you will learn how this technology works and will get a walk
 -through of how to setup a CockroachDB cluster in a hybrid or multi cloud 
 environment so that you can test it for yourself.\n\nBiography:\nTim Veil 
 is the Director of Sales Engineering at Cockroach Labs. As a veteran of 20
 + years in a wide range of technology companies\, he's seen many technolog
 y trends come and go. Tim's SE team at Cockroach Labs is driven to help co
 mpanies explore and evaluate the path from legacy models to modern microse
 rvices and cloud solutions. Tim and his family are based in Atlanta\, GA\n
