Hello Infracoders! Mantel Group have kindly offered to host the Infracoders meetup in September, and will supply food and beverages. We have 2 technical talks per meetup. Commencing at 6pm, we will be finished by 8pm. There will be a delegation afterwards to a licensed venue for an informal Post Meetup Review with your hosts & fellow attendees. **Presentation 1**. **Archie Gunsekara** (Slack) // Shipyard: Slack’s Next-Generation EC2 Platform Built to bring modern deployment practices - immutability, progressive rollouts, and automated safety - directly to EC2 instances. Rather than continuously mutating long-lived instances, Shipyard treats infrastructure as deployable artifacts. Instances are short-lived and continuously refreshed, provisioning happens in seconds and rollbacks are metric-driven. This talk covers how Shipyard supports workloads that can’t easily move to containers - from Kubernetes worker nodes to egress network stacks. **Presentation 2**. **Sam Bentley & Phil Jay** (Reece) // Trust, flow, and getting elevated credentials just in time. Why Reece has a service named after a Pokémon - Magikarp - to help people stay in the flow of their work, obtaining elevated credentials to AWS *just in time* -- As always, please update your RSVP as your availability changes. All venues have space considerations for safety and comfort of Infracoders. If you'd like to present at future meetups, or have an office to host an event, please contact the organisers via Meetup, or on Slack: https://join.slack.com/t/infracoders/shared_invite/zt-4277k4e9g-829iw7LVPNUbQ7k_2arVOw -- Matt (@geekle), David (@David Lutz), Phil (@Phil J) or Peter H (@Peter)
