Cloud Native + Kubernetes Edinburgh Meetup - 3 Pitfalls Everyone Should Avoid with Cloud Data

As fate would have it, not only am I going to be in Edinburgh for the first 2023 event for the Edinburgh Tech Meetup, but also in the second week for the Cloud Native + Kubernetes Edinburgh meetup.

With over 650 members, this group is spot on for the topic I'm presenting. These insights on pitfalls everyone should avoid with cloud data are a constant work in progress as the entire cloud native world is moving so fast. It needs constant tending to further refine some of the improvements that have been worked into the story lately.

On 15 February 2023 I'll be at the offices of Codebase (just down the hill from Edinburgh Castle) and the Cloud Native + Kubernetes Edinburgh meetup placed the following event announcement online.

We're back for the first CNKEDI meetup of 2023, and once again we're sponsored by Octopus Deploy.  A massive thanks to them for making this one possible 🙌

Here's the agenda for the night:

  • 6:00pm - Food and drink, courtesy of Octopus Deploy
  • 6:30pm - Running Cost & Performance Efficient Analytics Application the Kubernetes way by Leveraging Volcano - Srivalsan Mannoor Sudhagar, AWS
  • 7:15pm - Break
  • 7:30pm - 3 Pitfalls Everyone Should Avoid with Cloud Data - Eric D. Schabell, Chronosphere
  • 8:15pm - Wrap up

The details of my talk are here below.

3 Pitfalls Everyone Should Avoid with Cloud Data 

The daily hype is all around you. From cloud native, multicloud, to hybrid cloud, this is the path to your digital future. The choices you make as a developer does not preclude the daily work of enhancing your customer's experience and agile delivery of your applications. With all this delivery and infrastructure, there is a lot of data generated when engaging with any cloud experience. Regulatory and compliance pressures force us to store audit and observability data. Understanding the pitfalls around the collection, storage, and maintenance of your cloud data can mean the difference between bankruptcy and success with our cloud native strategy. Let us take you on a journey, looking closely at the decisions you are making as a developer delivering and dealing with monitoring your applications. Join us for a power session, where real customer experiences and incidents are used to highlight the three top lessons learned as their developers transitioned their data needs into cloud native environments.

I'm excited to meet this group and hear what their thoughts are on the pitfalls of cloud native data.
