CHANGE: CUUG October 25, 2016 General Meeting

Dear members and friends,

Our October speaker, Pat Valentine, has unfortunately had to cancel his appearance at tomorrow's meeting, due to last-minute work obligations taking him out of town. There will still be a meeting, but the topic will be different and will likely be more of an interactive discussion than any formal presentation. We hope you will still attend, and we look forward to re-scheduling Pat's presentation for a later date.

Chris Aziz
CUUG President

        October General Meeting


    Configuration Management 101


        Speaker: Pat Valentine, Sr. Systems Administrator, Cloud Automation and Engineering,IHS


Pat will speak about "Configuration Management 101" covering the evolution of configuration management from early 
efforts to the present day. Pat spoke about Configuration Management at our June meeting. He got the sense that most of 
the audience didn't understand the fundamentals, what, why and methodology trade-offs. "101" will back fill this 
information.

Having just completed an initial implementation at IHSMarkit, he will speak from his direct experiences. Having reviewed 
the current tools in the marketplace, Pat will provide a comparison of the tools and will answer your questions after 
the presentation.

Pat has been providing UNIX and Linux system administration for over 15 years. Working as a junior admin at a local ISP, 
to the University of Calgary, Faculty of Medicine to IHS Inc. has provided experience with Solaris (6-11), TRU-64, 
HP-UX, RHEL (2-7), CentOS, OpenBSD, Ubuntu and AWS. His other hats include Data Centre Administrator, Change Management 
Leader, Network Admin, Storage Admin and all around handy guy.

Pat is passionate about Configuration Management, Usable Secure Servers, Black holes and Lego.
