On Saturday, August 11^th, Christopher Gervais and I presented at Drupal North 2018. That's the annual gathering of the Drupal community in southern Ontario and Quebec, Canada.

Session information:

Do you need a self-hosted solution for hosting and managing Drupal sites? Would you like be able able to upgrade all of your sites at once with a single button click? Are you tired of dealing with all of the proprietary Drupal hosting providers that won't let you customize your set-up? Wouldn't it be nice if all of your sites could automatically get free HTTPS certificates?

If you said yes to any of the above questions, there's only one option: the Aegir Hosting System. While it's possible to find a company that will host Drupal sites for you, Aegir helps you maintain control whether you want to use your own infrastructure or manage your own software-as-a-service (SaaS) product. Plus, you get all the benefits of open source.

We'll cover:

• History
• Architecture
• Basic features
• Advanced features
• Development workflows
• Recent additions
• Future
• Questions & discussion

A one-hour video recording of our presentation is available on YouTube, and our slides (with clickable links) are attached here.
