Google Cloud Platform Meetup Series in the Bay Area

Anonymous Nov 21, 2017 11:21 AM

The Google Cloud team is putting together a series of Meetups between now and the end of this year focused on popular topics for the Google Cloud Platform. Topics will include Security, Spanner, Storage, Networking, Big Data, and Machine Learning.

All of the events for this series will be in either Sunnyvale, CA or Mountain View, CA. Each event will last approximately 2 hours and start at 6PM with registration at 5:30PM.

I will be updating this post with new Meetups as soon as the schedules are finalized. You can also follow the Meetup group here for updates. Registration will be through Meetup.com. I'll post the links below once they become available.

Cloud Networking Meetup

It's that time again. Please come and join us for our last GCP Meetup of the year as we will be discussing how to build scalable and secure application environments using Cloud Networking technology. Specifically, we will be discussing how Google takes the foundations of application development to the next level using both legacy and new Networking technologies and concepts.

Cloud Security Meetup

Ever wondered what Cloud Security is like on Google Cloud? Should you worry about encryption Key Management? Should you give consideration to how your Keys are secured, or if they should be secured at all?

If you're looking for answers to these burning questions, or are curious to learn about Google's current and future approach to Cloud Security you'll want to attend this session!

On Thursday, September 28th, the Google Cloud Meetup group will be tackling the subject of security on GCP, where we will cover Google Cloud's layered approach to security and best practices with Security Engineer Collin Frierson! The hosts will provide food/drinks, give away some goodies, and hopefully answer all your burning questions!

Where: Google Tech Corners TC1 - 803 11th Ave, Sunnyvale, CA (click to get directions)

When: Thursday September 28, 5:00- 7:00 PM

Cloud Spanner Meetup

Looking for a fully managed relational database service with strong consistency and horizontal scalability? Can the same database be used for mission-critical online transaction processing (OLTP) applications? Or maybe you've heard of Cloud Spanner and want to learn more...

Join us for an in-depth look at the revolutionary new database offered by GCP!

Hi Libby Chang:

Am I reading that right that the Cloud Security meet up starts in about an hour and 10 minutes from right now? That makes it kind of hard to attend, unless you work next door....

Cheers,

Ian

Hi Ian, Luke, Vicki,

First of all, apologies for the late post last Thursday. This was intended to be an announcement of a series of Google-led GCP Meetups, to be organized in the South Bay (Mountain View, Sunnyvale)

Libby and I just started to work with the Bay Area Google Cloud team on 6 GCP-focused meetups. They will be short events (2 hours max), taking place after working hours (around 5:30pm), so attendees can come just after work.

Each meetup will cover a relevant GCP topic: Security (9/28), Cloud Spanner (10/3), Storage (10/12), Networking (TBC), Big Data (TBC), and Machine Learning (TBD).

We wanted to make sure that our GCC community is aware of these events, especially those located in the Bay Area.

You can find more information about these events (including details on logistics) in this Meetup.com site.

We hope to see some of our GCC members at these meetups!

Thanks,
Diego

  Hi Diego Donizeth:
  
  This seems interesting to share with some of my colleagues, but it seems like that meetup.com site isn't being kept up-to-date. For example, the Storage meeting on 10/12 doesn't appear to be listed. So I'm not sure whether I should share this more widely or not. Could you please clarify?
  
  Also, BTW, the URL you linked to appears to be a single meeting, not the main site. The main meetup.com site appears to be at Bay Area Google Cloud Platform Meetup (Mountain View, CA) | Meetup .
  
  Thanks,
  
  Ian

    Hi Ian Crew,
    
    Apologies for my late response. I've been out of the office for the past week. This series is a bit of a pilot to see what topics people may be interested in for the Google Cloud Platform. We're still working on finalizing speakers. The next meetup will be on 10/18, which will replace the 10/12 meetup. As you can see, some of the dates are still in flux. Because we are partnering with a different group within Google Cloud for this series, the best place to find the latest notifications will be here, the Meetup.com page.
    
    We do have some really exciting speakers lined up. Also, I believe there will be a few raffles for a Google Home and other devices.
    
    Best,
    
    Libby
