Hi, Maciej, thanks for the reminder, you beat me to it ;) To combat the ever-growing trend to completely virtualized environments I want to show people how the "Cloud" looks like in the material plane and give you a glimpse on the metal that runs the 'webs ;) I'm going to bring: HP DL380G6 IBM x3650 M3 Dell R200 [1] I want to talk about strong and weak points of the vendors, how they fare in procurement and demonstrate how maintenance and HW upgrades look like. If there's interest I also want to discuss general aspects of modern hardware in regards to performance/speed, capacity planning and bottle necks, power consumption etc. If you've got questions and problem cases or just want to share your war stories, please come! /cc metalab-general since it might be relevant to your interests too ;) Link: https://metalab.at/wiki/Devops_Meetup best, Michael [1] The R200 is not really the flagship of Dell, if anybody got a spare R410/R510 which they can bring along or I can pick up somewhere before monday that'd be great to have a somewhat even comparison :) Only requirement is that it's bootable and we've got access to the iDRAC and the BIOS.

Hi,

Because of date conflicts (especially the Big Brother Awards gala on next Tuesday), this month's meetup is on next Monday, 24.10, on 19:00. Michael will tell (and show!) us how the real hardware looks like. I'm just back from Devopsdays Europe in Göteborg and maybe will do a quick relation. See you there!
