This week's Wednesday Evening Training: Infrastructure basics, part 3: Various topics

There is a lot to learn on infrastructure, both for sysops, developers and architects.

In this Wednesday Evening Training two of our infrastructure experts, Rene Scholten and Bas Wienen gave us plenty explanation on various infra topics, e.g. network topologies, trusts, encryption and certificates, devops, desired state configuration and Microsoft Azure.

We even got a nice demo / walkthrough of an Azure based network infrastructure and a short introduction to Microsoft flow.

Thanks Rene and Bas!

Plenty of opportunity for Q&A and discussion. It was informative and fun. There will definitely be a next WET session on this, probably with some handson labs. There is plenty to choose from!

This week's Wednesday Evening Training: Infrastructure basics: What you should know

As a software engineer and solution architect, nowadays you'll need quite some basic knowledge on infrastructure. In this week's Wednesday Evening Training, we discussed some of the topics we often encounter in projects:

• Proxy, reverse proxy
• Qradar, ldap varianten, sniffers, log & monitor
• How to "read" an infrastructure model diagram efficiently
• Zones, DMZ
• Trusts
• How IPv6 AnyCast works
• Virtualization, with Docker as an example
• Securing (web)servers
• DevOps basics
• Azure Resource Management
• Desired State Configuration
• Puppet
• PowerShell basics

Having three of our leading infra specialists in our midst, we got the opportunity of having introductions, a Q&A session and lively discussions to expand our knowledge on infrastructure.

Thanks to our infra champions Rene Scholten, Bas Wienen and Gert-Jan van Raamsdonk!

With this amount of topics, one wednesday evening was not sufficient. We therefore decided to plan some more workshops, so... to be continued!

Next week, we'll dive into Arduino (like the Raspberry Pi, but in some ways different).
