Cloud Native London October 2021: Speakers from CloudBolt and AWS


Two great speakers from CloudBolt and AWS joined us at our October Cloud Native London virtual meetup, with attendees via Zoom, Rambly, and the YouTube/Twitch livestreams.

We are immensely grateful to Humio](https://humio.com/), Palo Alto Networks, CircleCI, and Netapp for your generous support and sponsorship.

Overview

Kicking off our evening was Rick Kilcoyne from CloudBolt with his Top 5 IT Challenges That You Should Be Prepared For (starting at 26:16). His takeaways mentioned:

  • High complexity, high cognitive loads – visibility is king
  • Cloud costs – you can’t manage what you can’t automate
  • CI/CD infra reliability – test-the-testers
  • Everything-as-a-service – consumable » configurable
  • Integrations – first-class-citizen and org ownership

Then Nicola Pietroluongo from AWS wrapped up our evening with a discussion on AWS App Runner: Production web applications at scale made easy for developers (starting at 53:21). He explained that:

  • You don’t need knowledge about server configuration, networking, load balancing, or deployment pipelines.
  • App Runner seamlessly scales up resources in response to your traffic.
  • With App Runner you can meet your infrastructure and compliance requirements while staying completely focused on your application since it is fully-managed.

And of course, a group photo from Rambly!
