DevOps "Office Hours" (2020-10-21)

Cloud Posse holds public "Office Hours" every Wednesday at 11:30am PST to answer questions on all things DevOps/Terraform/Kubernetes/CICD related. Basically, it's like a "Lunch & Learn" session where we get together for about an hour and talk shop. These are totally free and just an opportunity to ask us any questions.
