——-
For those of you interested in some comprehensive Elasticsearch and ELK Stack (Elasticsearch / Logstash / Kibana) training taught by experts from Sematext who know them inside and out, we’re running a super hands-on training workshop in New York City from October 19-20.
This two-day, hands-on workshop will be taught by experienced Sematext engineers — and authors of Elasticsearch books — Rafal Kuc and Radu Gheorghe.
Target audience:
Developers and DevOps who want to configure, tune and manage Elasticsearch and ELK Stack at scale.
What you’ll get out of it:
In two days with training run by two trainers we’ll:
- bring Elasticsearch novices to the level where he/she would be comfortable with taking Elasticsearch to production
- give experienced Elasticsearch users proven and practical advice based on years of experience designing, tuning, and operating numerous Elasticsearch clusters to help with their most advanced and pressing issues
When & Where:
- Dates: October 19 & 20 (Monday & Tuesday)
- Time: 9:00 a.m. — 5:00 p.m.
