DevOps Meetup at Cisco

Hello doers,

this month we have our event hosted by Cisco

1st talk is
Network Admin Evolution from Command Line to Enterprise-grade Configuration-as-Code
by Peter Morvay, Systems Engineer at Cisco, linkedin.com/in/petermorvay

As Network Administrators and Architects, we have become aware of the (Net)DevOps in a specifically particular way.
Me, Peter Morvay, as CCIE with networking background will describe Networking DevOps evolution from my perspective.

• What were our steps in evolution?
• What have we used to configure and operate the networks in the past, in present and will use in the future?
• Will we mention AI and controllers? Yes!

In relation to (Net)DevOps, we will build the foundation of the bridge between "Networkers" and Developers.

2nd talk is
Monorepo vs Polyrepo
By Dani Yelovitch, DevOps Engineer from SentinelOne, https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-yelovitch

"Monorepo or not" is one of the biggest dev community debates for a long time. Polyrepo always works, but it can never get better. Monorepo on the other hand can be either terrible or great depending on how you implement it. Google, Facebook, Twitter store all their code in a single version control system repository. Surely if these high scale companies use a monorepo should all other companies, but on the other hand most tech companies use polyrepo architecture

In this talk we will explore the cost and benefits of both approaches and try to understand what is the best approach for us

3rd talk is
Feature Flags or Toggles
by Nafis Hasnian Rafi, DevOps Engineer in Workday

What are toggles and how are they used?
How to utilize feature flags/toggles with trunk based development (short lived branches)

But the main focus will be on the lifecycle of feature flags and how feature flags might bring more technical debt and how to avoid them. Then let's look at how we can manage feature flags at scale and
finally a short story about a bad implementation of feature flags.
