AWS Gameday by LSEG

Ready to power up your DevOps skills? Join us for an AWS Gameday: Chaotic Commencement on Friday, 8 November, at the LSEG office (6G, Iuliu Maniu Bd).

Dive into fun challenges that promote ‘on-the-job’ learning, with AWS and LSEG teams on hand to assist and answer questions.

Register now and let the game begin!

What’s your special mission?

We are the largest provider of mythical creatures in the world, and we are seeking elite talent to take the AWS business to the next level since our former DevOps team left to pursue a digital currency venture. We need the cream of the crop to come in and fix all the problems our former teams caused. We need YOU!

What to expect during the event?

The event will start with a video briefing on how the current solution works, and how success will be measured. After the briefing, your team will be given access to an AWS account with an initial legacy architecture setup. You will work together throughout the day to make your architecture as secure, performant, and resilient as possible, in the face of chaos events which threaten to bring down your systems!

How can you register?

Team up with 3-5 colleagues and register here by 31 October to delve into the world of AWS and enhance your DevOps skills. If you’re part of a team, only one member needs to register for the entire group. Don’t have a team? Worry not! We’ll assign you to a team prior to the event. This is an in-person initiative, so please ensure your availability on 8 November and bring your laptop along.

After registering, you’ll receive further details and instructions for the day. We kindly request the group representative to disseminate all received information to the team.

Are there any pre-requirements?

You will need to join a virtual AWS Pre-GameDay Immersion Day on 5 November (apx 3 hours) to learn more about the GameDay and how to connect. Participation in the virtual Immersion Day is mandatory if you wish to participate in the GameDay on 8 November. We will send an agenda after you register with all the necessary links.

Moreover, it is not strictly required, but it will be beneficial if you have access to an environment and tools that will allow you to SSH into virtual machines, build Docker containers, and / or download, execute, and inspect Linux ELF binaries.

Pre-existing knowledge of services like Amazon CloudFront, Amazon EC2, AWS VPCs, Amazon ECS, AWS Lambda, and Amazon CloudWatch could also be beneficial, but not mandatory.
