Reminder: CUUG January 24, 2016 General Meeting - NOT last Tuesday

Dear members and friends of CUUG,

   Our January  meeting will about configuration management basics.
Pat gave CUUG  a really good talk in June about CM tools but sensed
(correctly) that many attendees  didn't understand the underlying issues.

   This lecture is to back fill that information.

   Non CUUG members remain welcome and must RSVP to [email protected]
no less than 48 hours in advance or pay $10 at the door.

Best Regards,

Chris Aziz
CUUG President


January General Meeting
Configuration Management 101
Speaker: Pat Valentine, Sr. Systems Administrator, Cloud Automation and Engineering, IHS
Pat Valentine

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.
