[BLU/Officers] Ideas for upcoming BLU meetings?

[David Kramer]

I guess a larger topic which could fill a meeting, not sure who could do 
it, though I might be able to help: There are a lot of techniques for 
not only creating the instances, but getting the required software on 
them and configured for the environment (CloudFormation templates, 
Terraform, Ansible, Chef, etc).

Another good topic that would be more platform-agnostic would be secrets 
(keys, passwords, software configuration options) management.

Server monitoring / app monitoring / alerting / dashboards could be good 
too.  I think we had a Splunk talk a while ago, and I sorta remember a 
Grafana presentation, but there are so many options here too.

I don't know how knowledgeable or interested our members are about 
DevOps.  Maybe they know all this stuff already, or maybe they don't 
care.  Do we have a feel for how many of our regular members that attend 
meetings are more end users vs corporate Dev/IT?
