SadServers Newsletter #22: more scenarios 🤔

Hello,

This is the SadServers bulletin, featuring new hands-on challenges to help you build and strengthen your Linux and DevOps skills.

It's been about a month since the last newsletter and we have seven new scenarios for you (and many more coming up):

New scenarios since the last newsletter:

"Bergen": Port already in use. A pretty often issue in servers.
"Spa": The Docker Compose healthcheck that does not heal. A common misconception is thinking Docker containers will restart only because their heathcheck fails. This scenario explores this situation.
"Hangzhou": The web server one-second delay that never happens. In this scenario we look at an advanced Nginx feature that can be used for QA.
"Kyoto": The Gion ticket API will not start. A Kubernetes connectivity challenge.
"Nara": No ls on this system. This is a fun one. What happens if there's no "ls" in your system and still you need to look into directories? in this VM you have at least eight ways to list directories.
"Dakar": The half-installed package. A pretty simple challenge where you have to fix a package that didn't finish installation.
"Cadiz": Cut the live wires. We're confident this is now the hardest SadServers scenario and only a small selected group of people will be able to crack it.

Other news:

We have created a lifetime Pro+ program.
Now you can upgrade your paid SadServers account or change the subscription frequency from the pricing page directly.
Thanks to vpod , you can now run a SadServers scenario fully in your browser (yay WASM).
The Fallthrough folks were kind enough to invite me to one of their podcasts. You can hear or watch some of my spicy takes.
Couple of new blog posts: Climb, Coast, or Quit: The Three Types of Employees and What We Learned Running AWS Spot Instances in Production
