Hello All, This month we're moving the meeting back to Tuesday since Doug finally is done with Jury Duty.
Since its founding in 2008, Knewton has been exclusively using AWS to power its adaptive learning platform. Peter Norton and Dave Zwieback will share the realities of running completely "in the cloud", and specific design patterns that improve scalability, availability, performance, and security in cloud-based systems. They'll cover topics such as EBS vs ephemeral (instance) storage; auto-scaling; automated deployment and configuration management; and decreasing instance boot time through AMI "stamping". Peter Norton is an Systems Engineer at Knewton. He's been focusing on Linux/Unix, network, and database engineering and administration for the past 17 years. Prior to Knewton, he was a Systems Administrator (Unix and Database) at D.E. Shaw & Co., and an Engineer at Citigroup. He's the co-author of "Professional Red Hat Enterprise Linux" and "Beginning Python"; and an NYLUG officer. --- 120 West 45th Street, 39th floor.
