Saint Louis Unix Users Group ~ Wednesday ~ 2020-01-07 18:30 to 21:00 https://www.sluug.org/ LOCATION: Siemens, 13690 Riverport Dr, Maryland Heights, MO 63043 BASE: AWK and sed Power Tools by James Conroy This topic was not done last month (December) and is now re-scheduled for this month. This will be an intro to the Power Tools of Unix Text Manipulation. One of the best things about Unix and Unix like systems is the ability to pipe and redirect plain text from one program to another. Using built in commands you can do many operations such as sorting, counting lines and search for strings in outputs. But what if you want to do more complicated processes, or do these operates on a massive file? That is where the power tools come in. Much as a carpenter has an assortment of tools ranging from hand saws for detail work to lathes, we have access to the power tools of the text processing world. AWK and sed are the power tools of the plain text world. They are able to do massive and complex actions that would take forever by hand. MAIN: Cloud Concepts for Unix Gurus by Joe Epplin The cloud is the future of computing. However it is not simple or one thing. Joe will lead us through the various levels of complexity in ways we can understand, as a user, as a developer, and as a system manager. He will outline what tools we need to master to succeed in the cloud environment at whatever level we want to interact. This is "Big Picture" talk, intended to provide a base level of understanding of the cloud so that we can understand where and how previous talks on Docker and Kubernetics and future talks relate to the cloud. And to how we can interact with the cloud at the level that interests us, both individually (at home) and in our companies.
