005 - UC Berkeley Cloud Computing Meetup 005 (July 30, 2019)
Channel: UC Berkeley CTO Bill Allison
Date: 2019-09-10

Cloud Robots? HIPAA research on AWS @ UCSF? Secure Cloud Services at UC Davis that meets NIST 800-171? ALL OF THIS ☁ PLUS PIZZA 🍕

It's that time again - next Tuesday the UC Berkeley Cloud Community of Practice will be holding our fifth meetup in the Berkeley SkyDeck Penthouse. We have some excellent guests and topics and hope to see you there. Everyone is welcome - this is a really inclusive group! You don't have to be an expert, or already know about cloud technologies; we get together so people can learn from each other. The Berkeley SkyDeck is at 2150 Shattuck, on the top floor (press "PH" in the elevator.)

The plan for the meetup's format is to have speakers talk about their work. There will be soft drinks and pizza from Lavalle's!

AGENDA:

4:30- 5:00 Networking & info sharing / people arrive and food arrives (pizza from Sliver)

5:00 Host welcome and announcements

5:15 Speaker: Ira Tarshis, UC Davis. Cloud Services Architect working at UC Davis. He has been responsible for the deployment of the Secure Research Computing Environment, a basic research computing platform that resides in the Amazon Web Services cloud and has been certified through a 3rd party audit to be NIST 800-171 compliant.

5:40 Speaker: Pavan Gupta, UCSF. Digital Health Engineer working at the UC San Francisco. He splits his time between providing computing solutions for researchers and participating in research activities himself. He has worked with the IT groups at UC San Francisco to deploy a HIPAA compliant research computing environment in Amazon Web Services and has a deep understanding of both the administrative and technological hurdles to providing secure cloud computing environments for health research.

6:05: Speaker: Sasha Iatsenia, Head of Product, Kiwi Campus. (https://www.kiwicampus.com/ ) Sasha will talk about the ubiquitous food delivery robots and the logistics platform that Kiwi has become. The talk will discuss how the cloud has enabled them to scale, and how they have used different cloud providers for different things - including training the machine learning for the autonomous robots using virtual environments.

6:15: Q&A - Discussion & feedback

6:30: Networking & info sharing

7:00 pm - End/Doors close

Note: in order to make the event as inclusive as possible please know it is OK to bring kids - the SkyDeck is a child (and baby)-friendly venue. If you can't make it at this time, we do film all the talks and post them on YouTube.
