04.09.2026 –, Workshop Room - CZ 102
We will teach attendees the basics of DevOps and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in a fun gamified way that combines learning DevOps fundamentals with making "line go up". Attendees will gain hands-on expertise with both AWS and HashiCorp Terraform in a free, safe, and sand-boxed environment.
This "GameDay" is event is like a multi-player workshop where every participant can either compete against other participants or just tinker with the workshop content. Unlike workshops that guide attendees through each step, GameDay events will drop each participant into a high-fidelity environment and then the platform immediately starts to disable services or misconfigure settings and the participants have to keep their site up for as long as possible.
Participants will need to bring their own laptop!
