Cloud Foundry for Data Science talk
I’m excited to be giving a talk at the Data Science Lab meetup which has recently started in London. The topic is going to be how to use the open source Cloud Foundry platform for data science.
Python on Cloud Foundry
I’m very happy to be giving a talk at the latest PyData conference in New York this weekend.
This is a long post but I wanted a place to collect all the code I am showing in my talk and to provide a few more resources for those interested in trying out Python on Cloud Foundry further.
Resources
- Simple Flask app
- Slides from the talk
- My new Cloud Foundry buildpack using conda
- Video of Flask app deployment
- Update: Video of PyData NY talk
What is Cloud Foundry?
My talk is about how to use Python and the PyData stack on Cloud Foundry the open source cloud platform. Cloud Foundry started life at VMware and development transferred to Pivotal when it was formed. Cloud Foundry has grown much bigger since then with over 30 companies joining together to form the Cloud Foundry Foundation which will guide the development of the open source project.
DataDive toolbelt
What tools do you need to bring to a DataDive? The next DataKind UK DataDive is taking place in two weeks time in London. I took part in one of the previous DataDives and I would highly recommend the experience for anyone with data science or analytical skills who wants to help charities use their data.
The DataDives take place over the course of a weekend and in that time you have to decide on a charity to work with, understand their data and goals, perform your analysis and present your results in a usable form. That’s a lot to get through in just over two days so it’s very important to be able to get up and running quickly with the analysis. I thought it might be useful to list the software and tools that I will be packing in my DataDive toolbelt this time around.
