Join us for the Feburary meeting of PdxDevOps.
Agenda:
1) Overview of Nix and NixOS by Corbin Simpson (Acquia) (second try)
[Nix](http://nixos.org/nix/) is a package manager designed to perfectly isolate dependencies and yield reproducible builds. The [NixOS Linux distro](http://nixos.org/) is built on top of Nix. We'll look at how Nix relates to the modern devops environment and how it can simplify continuous integration and configuration management.
2) "Creating Efficient Dockerfiles" by Isaac Stefanik
Isaac has been working a lot lately on streamlining his build process and have come
up with some best practices for creating Dockerfiles that create small
images and minimize the build/deploy time. The demos would be focused
on building NodeJS applications, but many of the concepts would be
universal for any Dockerized app
pdxdevops is a Portland, Oregon user group that explores the glorious intersection of software development and systems operations, and shares practical advice on working effectively in an era of agile infrastructure, server automation and cloud computing. The group welcomes participants interested in any related products, technologies and methodologies. The group has been meeting regularly since August 2010 for presentations, demos and discussions applicable to all skill levels, from newbies and experts. Every month 15-35 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for devops – join us! |

2) "Creating Efficient Dockerfiles" by Isaac Stefanek
Docker can do many great things for the continuous integration and delivery process. One of the benefits that can be achieved using Docker is speeding up the build and deploy times. Creating Docker files that maximize this benefit can take some work, especially if you are dealing with a bloated technology stack. We'll take a look at some common best practices that will have your Docker builds running at warp speed. The examples will be focused on building NodeJS applications, but many of the concepts will be universal for any Dockerized app.
