Tecknuovo community update
Before we get onto November tech events, we have a rather exciting update to share from October. You may have seen that our inclusive community initiative underwent a makeover! We’ve been thrilled to welcome people to Teck Camp, the inclusive community that aims to ensure that the tech community is open for all, regardless of where they are on their tech journey. Also, make sure you check out the new Teck Camp website, and please do let us know what you think!
On Thursday 22nd October, we also had our monthly Ask Me Anything event. For October, we were joined by Senior Developer Evangelist at GitLab and Cloud Native Computing Foundation Board Member, Brendan O’Leary. Brendan let us pick his brains over this month’s GitLab update, the future of DevOps and his types on how to learn to learn. You can check out our article featuring our highlights of the evening, or you can read the entire transcript over on the Teck Camp Slack channel.

Online: Getting the Chunk on Top of the Cloud – Register here
When already used to deploying traditional, monolithic, applications, deployments utilising microservices on the cloud always constitute a big challenge. Even more so when you are not familiar with what you need to use for which component of the monolithic application, and how you can ensure that current in-place measures for security and compliance are met. Even more so if the decision is to move the application completely to be based on a serverless deployment. This talk will outline the project management process of doing that transition including planning and also execution. Check out more on the event page!
