This time around, I'll be throwing myself into the sacrificial wood chipper as I preview (read: use you as a guinea pig for) my talk which will be delivered at CodeStock on the weekend of May 5th.



In this talk, we'll be taking a look at the typical offerings of a cloud service provider, and briefly exploring each of the four major paradigms*. We'll be using Microsoft Azure for our examples, but the information applies just as well to AWS, Digital Ocean, or any of the other cloud service providers.



We'll take a look at a few simple examples, and even spin up a SaaS and IaaS instance on the spot.



Come on out and and be my test subj-- err, guest as I blatantly use-- err, give you an exclusive preview for my upcoming CodeStock talk.



Meet and greet with food and refreshments starts at 6:30, talk begins promptly at 7.



*: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Containers as a Service (CaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
