The Global DevOps Bootcamp concept is a worldwide event we have been running together with our colleagues at Xpirit for three years.
Last year the theme was moving a monolith application to Azure and changing the release cadence from once a month to multiple times a day, applying modern release techniques.
This year the theme was Site Reliability Engineering, where we provided the attendees with a web shop and several disruptions of the applications that they as a team should complete together.
Local DevOps Bootcamp at Skandia
In the end of November we did a Local DevOps bootcamp at Skandia, one Sweden’s largest insurance companies. We had about 30 people divided into 5 teams running through the exercises trying to have their web shop running through the day and handling the following disruptions:
- Credentials are leaked and are rotated
- SSL Certificate suddenly expired
- Connections to database are flaky and causes random errors
- Denial of service on your application
- Exception rate goes up

*We enjoyed the Local DevOps Bootcamp very much. It gave us valuable insights in how to work with SRE, both hands-on exercise and the theory behind it, all in a nice packaged event. I recommend others interested in SRE to do it as well. *
