This meetup was dedicated to cloud technologies with hands on examples deployed to AWS engines.
“Getting started with Serverless” by Vasilis Dourdounis, CTO ExitIntelligence, Patras branch. The presentation is located here.
Vasilis presented examples from serverless.com how we deploy a simple node function in AWS engine. The interaction with attendees had some interesting questions like how long the container is alive for such serverless functions. According to Vasili’s experience it’s not standard. Some times it takes 10 minutes of inactivity to shutdown the container but this is something that AWS is working on.
“Install kubernetes in AWS through Terraform and Ansible” by Stamatis Panorgios, DevOps Engineer, ZuluTrade Technologies, Remote. The presentation is located here.
One more hands-on presentation on how to install a custom Kubernetes cluster on AWS using Terraform and Ansible. Stamatis noted about terraform-inventory tool which finds out the public IPs of the cluster that AWS engine assigned during the creation of the instances.
Since we’re very close to Christmas, I’m wishing you Merry Christmas, and don’t forget we’ll be here next month with new interesting topics!
