Pi Day is just around the corner.
“Wait – what is Pi Day?”
Great question. It’s a one-day, virtual, global event dedicated to celebrating one number (and the theoretical and practical applications of computation at large): 3.14.
Ampere’s helping us serve us some delicious developer content in the form of one, 60-minute session called “Zero to Cloud Native Application in 60 Minutes!”
While following along with cloud experts, you’ll learn:
- How to deploy a complex multi-container application using docker-compose to an Ampere A1 instance on OCI
- A basic overview of building an application with Docker containers
- How to use nginx as a reverse proxy for a web application
- How to configure and initialize a MySQL database when starting a database instance
- How to improve the performance of a WordPress instance by using a Redis instance as a PHP object store
What’s that? You have another quesiton?
“Since this is a one-day event, how do I know when to register based on my time zone?”
Again, you raise a great point. You don’t want to come in hungry when the proverbial bakery is closed.
To account for developers all over the globe, we’ve gathered a handy collection of links at which to register based on your region:
Don’t forget that to follow along with the Pi Day activities, you’ll need to have an already-configured cloud instance. And while that can vary based on your cloud provider perferences, we think pretty highly of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Free Tier account and encourage you to configure your account there!
Because with it, you’ll unlock the powerful Autonomous Database and Object storage services. Plus, you’ll receive $300 of credits for 30 days to use on even more services.
Sign up for a Free Tier account today!
Remember, Pi Day is your time to be exposed to new approaches that you can apply to your tech stack, to learn your way around the cloud, and to challenge yourself with concepts that may be new to you.
We can’t wait to see you on 3/14!
