About this event
Join Reed and our guest speakers from business management consultancy firm Credera, as we explore ways of creating self-service cloud infrastructures, and discuss the principles and benefits of GitOps within DevOps.
During this free face-to-face meetup at The Catalyst in Newcastle, our speakers, in association with DevOps North East (D.O.N.E), will be using their industry expertise to guide, inform and develop your organisation’s ability to be compliant with the latest technology trends. The session will be split into two separate talks from our speakers.
In session one, Osanda Gunasena, Software Engineer at Credera, will be discussing how to create and manage an organisation's cloud resources without the hassle of delegating explicit organisation-wide permissions. He will look in detail at self-service infrastructures and how you can ensure security compliance throughout.
Session two will see Priyanka Baranwal, DevOps Engineer at Credera, explore the definition of GitOps. She will look at the principles and benefits of GitOps, as well as automation and infrastructure practices, before delivering a live demo of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CICD) with GitLab-ci for multi environment infrastructure provisioning.
As a Tech on the Tyne event, this meetup has been designed to familiarise you with the latest tech, providing a ‘hands on’ experience.

More about Tech on the Tyne
Tech on the Tyne is a free software development event run by Reed Technology for those who are looking to get ‘hands on’ with the latest technologies.
By using a kata format – a structured learning routine –you’ll discover exciting technologies to get your teeth into. All you need to do is bring your laptop.
The introduction to the new tech is provided by the best developers in the area. Remaining language agnostic, so you can interact with the tech however you develop, we offer a fair and open opportunity for those of all skill sets to experience something new, brush up your knowledge, or even discover a new approach from fellow learners.
This isn't designed to be a super serious, heads down event. The flow is loose, and collaboration is encouraged. As long as you feel you've gained new knowledge, we're happy.
This is an interactive event, so please remember to bring your laptop. Refreshments are provided.
