by John Stoffel

Do we have any presentation materials from the meeting? I'd love to learn more about how Althea solved this problem for their company. I missed the earlier part, so if there's anything I could look at... I'd be interested.

Reminder meeting tonight at 7pm! Topic: "Infrastructure as Code website with free hosting"

by Tim Keller

We've got a meeting on Thursday August 11th 2022 Topic: Infrastructure as Code website with free hosting. Physical Location: Mid-Century Room at WPI! Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Speaker: Althea Shaheen The days of websites simply being static pages of HTML are behind us. As the web changes and the technologies underpinning complex websites grow and evolve, managing all this by hand becomes nearly impossible. Load balancers, database servers.. Now what if this website also needs to be scaled across cloud providers and on prem? What happens when your favorite cloud company whose data center is just a bunch of shipping containers burns to the ground? How easily could you reconstitute your website and all the underpinnings? Althea is going to speak to how they deploy their website and manages the entire process as code. I'd like to thank Chuck for facilitating getting Althea in contact with us. If you know people who'd like to speak, please let me know. YES, WE ARE MEETING AT WPI AGAIN!!! Unfortunately as I've been in close contact with someone with covid, I'll be unable to make it physically to the meeting, but I will be attending virtually. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Speaking with Frank, the room IS booked! IF people do show up there will be space. As stated before I was a close contact to someone with covid so I sadly won't be going. Thanks, Tim.

OK, looking back I had 7-9p for last time and double-checking on wlug.org that appears correct. Sorry - I should have just double-checked the website to begin with :P On 8/11/22 12:10, Chris (wolcen) Thompson via WLUG wrote: > I didn't catch the time this happens at?

Guys, I might make it, might not. Sorry, my kid is home from college and I'd like to spend some time with him. Of course if he ditches the family.... LOL!

I've confirmed that the meeting room is booked, so "Possibly the Mid-Century Room at WPI" means YES! We'll miss you Joel, but I hope to see many others of you there.

Who is planning on going to be in-person at WPI for this meeting? I will make the trek out if it is going to happen, but "Possibly" doesn't inspire confidence :-) On Tue, Aug 09, 2022 at 10:45:50PM -0400, Tim Keller via WLUG wrote: > Hey Everybody, > > We've got a meeting on Thursday August 11th 2022 > Topic: Infrastructure as Code website with free hosting. > Physical Location: Possibly the Mid-Century Room at WPI! > Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA > Speaker: Althea Shaheen > > The days of websites simply being static pages of HTML are behind us.
