Plan: Reposition Talk for Broader Systems Provisioning Approach
|
|
|
|
New Positioning: "Systems Provisioning with Rust"
|
|
|
|
Moving from "Cloud Native" to "Systems-First" provisioning that covers:
|
|
- Bare metal servers
|
|
- Virtual machines
|
|
- Containers and orchestration
|
|
- Edge computing devices
|
|
- IoT infrastructures
|
|
- Development environments
|
|
- CI/CD pipelines
|
|
- Hybrid infrastructures
|
|
|
|
Files to Update/Create
|
|
|
|
1. Update talks/rust-meetup-2025/slides.md
|
|
- New title: "Systems Provisioning: Infrastructure Automation with Rust, Nushell & KCL"
|
|
- Reframe from cloud-centric to systems-centric
|
|
- Add sections on bare metal, edge, IoT, embedded systems
|
|
- Include on-premises, hybrid, and air-gapped scenarios
|
|
2. Create talks/rust-meetup-2025/README.md
|
|
- Comprehensive proposal with broader scope
|
|
- Target audiences expanded to include:
|
|
- System administrators (traditional & modern)
|
|
- DevOps engineers
|
|
- Infrastructure architects
|
|
- Embedded systems developers
|
|
- IoT platform managers
|
|
- Startup CTOs
|
|
- Enterprise IT managers
|
|
