Using External Dependencies with Conan @ Bay Area C++ User Group Meetup

In the 2022 C++ survey results an overwhelming majority ~80% said managing libraries was painful, nearly 50% called it a major pain. Given this is not even a conversation in another ecosystem, it’s time we solve it once and for all. This talk will give an introduction to Conan and focus on the latest features you can use today to overcome any challenges. You’ll learn how to work on a CMake project, use different generators, and take advantage of multi-config presets. The goal is you give you a clear picture of how Conan fits into your existing workflow.

Using CI/CD to deploy web applications on Kubernetes with ArgoCD

GitOps modernizes software management and operations by allowing developers to declaratively manage infrastructure and code using a single source of truth, usually a Git repository. Many development teams and organizations have adopted GitOps procedures to improve the creation and delivery of software applications. For a GitOps initiative to work, an orchestration system like Kubernetes is crucial.

Webinar: How Do Mature DevOps Teams Manage Software Security?

There is so much information out there about software security. Every day, there seems to be a new news headline, government regulation, or tool promising to “fix it all”. Do you ever wish you could just peek into how some of the industry’s best dev teams are managing this? We’ve assembled a panel of experts from the mature DevOps teams of Puppet and Shopify to answer some of your biggest questions.

How automation drives DevOps

DevOps is the combination of software development and IT operations. It is a set of tools and methodologies designed to speed up the development of a product and facilitate efficiency throughout its lifecycle. DevOps can increase the rate at which applications and updates are delivered by managing and automating the monotonous and repetitive tasks that plague the development and deployment process.

Deploy a serverless workload on Kubernetes using Knative and ArgoCD

Containers and microservices have revolutionized the way applications are deployed on the cloud. Since its launch in 2014, Kubernetes has become a standard tool for container orchestration. It provides a set of primitives to run resilient, distributed applications. One of the key difficulties that developers face is being able to focus more on the details of the code than the infrastructure for it. The serverless approach to computing can be an effective way to solve this problem.

Containers vs virtual machines: what is the difference?

In computing, virtualization is the creation of a virtual — as opposed to a physical — version of computer hardware platforms, storage devices, and network resources. Virtualization creates virtual resources from physical resources, like hard drives, central processing units (CPUs), and graphic processing units (GPUs). By virtualizing resources, you can combine a network of resources into what appears to users as one object.
