Cloud Meeting
Someone else's computer
Friday, February 25, 2022 · 5 - 7 PM
Hi all,
It's finally time for everyone's favorite buzzword: The Cloud! (Actually, I guess the cloud hype was a few years ago at this point... Mm. Oh well.)
Tonight's meeting will be about cloud computing. We'll cover the concepts behind the cloud, some common providers, its history, and (in our opinion) how to make effective use of it.
There will be a workshop component! We'll show everyone how to sign up for some free tier accounts and spin up a cloud VM (or other product) of their own. Bring your laptops and also bring your credit/debit card (you won't be paying any money, but cards are usually required for free tier signup, unfortunately). If you don't want to create an account, that is totally fine, you can follow along with someone else at your table.
This is a hybrid meeting. We will meet in person in ILSB 230, and it will be streamed on Jitsi starting at 5PM.
