Columbus HUG: April 10

One of my personal goals this year was to be more open towards the community of practice I work in. This would be DevOps , Cloud Computing or Architecture in general. I have , in the past, signed up to go to meetups and chickened out in the last minute. Why ? I have no idea. As a self-proclaimed introvert, networking by any means was a tedious task in my head.

Face your fear or demons they say. I know I am cheating a little with the DevOps meetups. The idea of having a common language or theme to talk about makes it less daunting compared to any other ones. But, hey ! You hae to start somewhere.

I am glad I did and I had the opportunity to interact with Bryan Krausen over his wonderful presentation on Consul. I went in there seeing Consul as the Network Automation product in the HashiCorp suite of tools without really knowing what it was. I definitely came out of it knowing what to talk about in another interaction with anyone discussing Consul. Thank you , Bryan for the talk, Mark for arranging this and Veeam for the hospitality.

If you are in the Columbus, Ohio area, be sure to join us next time. We are at Columbus HashiCorp User Group
