HasGeek comes to Chennai on Saturday, 25 November

Cloud Server Management Miniconf Schedule, who should attend and what you can expect

In September 2017, we did a Fragments meetup in Chennai. The wonderful people at Zoho had allowed us to use their space. We had some amazing people turn up to the attend the meetup, despite it happening on a Saturday morning at a place half way across the city. Huge shout out to our speakers Mario Stallone, Girish Koundinya and Somasundaram Mahesh.

I truly felt really grateful to have met these developers, some of who had come just to meet people from HasGeek. I had the opportunity to talk to security professionals, app developers & front-end developers. Some of these people who attended the meetup also went on to become volunteers at our conferences.

One of the question that I get asked a lot during our events in other cities is

When are you doing a conference in our city?

And Chennai was no different. A lot of people asked us about bringing our conferences to Chennai, and so, I’m excited to inform you that HasGeek is bringing the Cloud Server Management Miniconf to Chennai, for the very first time.

Venue: IIT Madras
Date: 25 November
Time: 9 AM — 5:30 PM

Cloud server management brings with it as many challenges as it offers conveniences. It is time to unbundle questions about:

1. Resource allocation: manpower, time and money.
2. Scaling: how best to utilize capacity in the present, and factors involved in planning for the future.
3. Security: which scenarios must you plan for, and how best to secure your data, applications and systems?

Who should attend?

• Open source and Python developers who are getting started with DevOps.
• Practicing DevOps programmers.
• Programmers seeking hands-on training on infrastructure management and virtualization.
• Architects who want to participate in the community, and discuss their approaches.

Why should you attend?

• To learn from experiences and insights shared by your peers.
• To understand how best to utilize time, money, manpower and infrastructural resources for your use-case.
• For training on configuration management.

Each talk will be delivered by CTOs and practising architects working on the roadmap to scaling infrastructure in their companies — Media.net, Freshdesk, Indix HQ and Mad Street Den. Look forward to real-world insights and war stories from their experiences. This is also an exclusive opportunity for you to network with them.

Check out our stellar line up of speakers and their talks:

Talk structure:

• Cloud Agnostic Webscale by Mohamed Imran K R(E2E Networks):
  Imran will give an overview on how to build webscale architecture without a dependency on the underlying component on the cloud player. Think multicloud and scaling while keeping your costs optimized
• Media.net venturing to private cloud by Kalyanasundaram Somasundaram:
  Curious about Media.net’s journey to private cloud? Listen to Kalyanasundaram talk about their goals, the thought that went into the tool selection, the challenges they faced and how they overcame those.
• Scaling zero to 150000 customers for Freshdesk by Kiran Darisi
  Think about scale in Chennai and one of the top names that comes to our mind is Freshdesk. Freshdesk uses 2000+ Instances processing 2 million DB queries per minute. But how did they get here? Listen to Kiran share his experience in managing growth with AWS, and leveraging innovation to manage the infrastructure with a lean devops team.
• The rocky road from monolithic to microservices architecture by Srinivasan Rangarajan
  Delivering Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning products at scale is hard, especially when each user wants a personalized experience. Listen to Srinivasan talk about their journey from monolithic to microservices while building Vue.ai.
• Building and scaling a log analytics platform — a serverless approach by Narendran
  If you’re a DevOps engineer, you’re probably curious about this recent buzz with serverless. In this talk, Narendran will walk us through how they use serverless in production enabling resource optimization and low maintainance time.
• PLUTUS: Tool for monitoring and alerting of costs incurred on AWS by Aayush Kumar
  As infrastructure scales, cost optimization becomes a challenge. Aayush talks about “Plutus”,a near real time cost monitoring tool where they could programatically monitor cost on every AWS resource and get alerts when it crosses a threshold cost.
• Lessons scaling operations to everyone Indix HQ by Ashwanth Kumar
  Ashwanth will talk about the problems, mistakes and learnings over the years on scaling the operations to everyone at Indix and how some their technology choices were influenced by them.
• Ansible 101 workshop by Ramakrishna Reddy Yekulla
  Learn all about Ansible from our instructor Ramky. The workshop is part of your conference ticket.
