Code and DevOps

We'll introduce drush as a required tool for modern drupal development. The session will be a high level overview of some of the more important drush topics and commands as it relates to drupal software development, and best practice continuos integration goals as well. None of the session will focus on specific implmentations but rather explain these are the things you can do with drush, here is why they help us as developers/sysadmins, and here is how drush makes it easy to follow best practices and automate much of the deployment work.

You may have heard about Docker and some of the hype surrounding it. There is a reason it has caught on so quickly. I'll explain what it is, why you probably will want to start using it, and a little bit of the new way of thinking you'll have to use when you start using containers instead of your old MAMP, WAMP or even Vagrant machines. I'll demonstrate a local Drupal development environment that is portable from local all the way to production. This is the next evolution in easing developer overhead and making your systems administrator happy.

Most security presentations show vulnerabilities and how to protect against them.   In this presentation, we will take a different approach,  We will look at 4 compromised sites, and learn how they were compromised, how the site owner learned about the issue and how to prevent it from happening to your site(s).   We will look at configuration errors as well as coding errors that these "real" site owners made.   We will then look at what it took to clean up the sites after compromised and the consequences that might have resulted.
