DevCSI are running a FREE Cloud services workshop on Friday 27th of May,
2011 at the University of Southampton.
The one day workshop will give you an overview of Cloud technologies and
showcase examples of how the technology is used in further and higher
education. It is aimed at developers, web developers and systems
administrators, who are interested in Cloud technology, either to have a
quick introduction or to explore some of the more recent developments
that have been taking place in this area. The workshop will cover the
basics of commercial linux cloud usage.
The day will include sessions on:
* Basics of the Cloud
* Advanced services / Snapshotting / Backups
* Examples of how Cloud services are used in further and higher
education
* Cloud Security
* Amazon's Cloudfront CDN
Time has also been allocated for a number of lightning sessions where
delegates can talk about projects, technologies or issues that they
think other attendees will find interesting.
A free lunch and refreshments will be provided.
The event is being organised by the DevCSI project and staff from the
University of Southampton and the University of Kent with support from
the University of Southampton.
Workshop requirements
* A knowledge of Linux
Optional but very preferable requirements
* An Amazon AWS account (http://aws.amazon.com/), this requires
a debit or credit card. We strongly recommend getting an account as the
workshop will be a far better experience this way.
