CloudCamp is an unconference where early adopters of Cloud Computing technologies exchange ideas. With the rapid change occurring in the industry, we need a place where we can meet to share our experiences, challenges and solutions. At CloudCamp, you are encouraged to share your thoughts in several open discussions, as we strive for the advancement of Cloud Computing. End users, IT professionals and vendors are all encouraged to participate.

OSCON is providing CloudCamp space to run CloudCamp @OSCON during the BOF sessions Monday night. This CloudCamp will be focussed on all-things Open Source and Open Cloud. For Lightning Talks, we invite the community to submit 5 minute talks (please send proposals to [email protected]). All talks must be related to Open Source or Openness.

The agenda for CloudCamp PDX is:

6:30pm Registration & Networking 7:00pm Welcome & Introductions 7:15pm Lightning Talks (5 min. each) 8:00pm Proposals for Open Space 8:15pm Round 1 of Open Space. Proposed sessions: - DevOps GameDay session 9:00pm Round 2 (TBD) 10:00pm (or possibly 9:15pm) Wrap-up

Title:
Stream All Things - Patterns of Modern Data Integration

Abstract:
80% of the time in every project is spent on data integration: Getting the data you want the way you want it. This problem remains challenging despite 40 years of attempts to solve it. We want a reliable, low latency system that can handle varied data from wide range of data management systems. We want a solution that is easy to manage and easy to scale. Is it too much to ask?

In this presentation, we’ll discuss the basic challenges of data integration and introduce design and architecture patterns that are used to tackle these challenges. We will explore how these patterns can be implemented using Apache Kafka and share pragmatic solutions that many engineering organizations used to build fast, scalable and manageable data pipelines.

The AWS SDK for Java version 2.0 is a complete re-implementation of the SDK for the Java language. It provides a modern API that leverages the latest capabilities from the Java platform. This presentation will highlight key differences between the V1 API and the V2 API. Also, we will examine the V2 HTTP layer and the updated API for AWS CloudMetrics.

You have probably heard a lot of talk about "the cloud" lately. You may have even used some cloud based resources. But what is the cloud exactly?

Chris Thompson is a machine learning engineer and a certified Google Cloud Architect. Join us as we discuss core cloud concepts and how to integrate them into your tech repertoire!

The discussion will revolve around what problems it is solving for companies, how it is changing developer workflows, and why you should start using it as quickly as possible. There will be a live demo as well as a survey of the different certification options available. These certifications can be a great way to help you stand out to prospective employers.

Join us virtually on July 16th at 1pm PT, 2pm MT, 3pm CT, and 4pm ET in our Google Meet Room.
