Hello,

This is the SadServers newsletter, presenting new challenges designed to sharpen your skills and grow your Linux and DevOps/SRE abilities.

New scenarios:

• Fukuoka : an Easy sysadmin scenario for a quick practice.
• Bizerte : an Easy-to-Medium challenge involving Redis.
• Ruaka : realistic Kubernetes scenario (Medium-to-Hard) using Helm, good for practicing k8s interviews.
• Campina Grande : another Medium-to-Hard realistic DevOps challenge, involving Hashicorp Vault - the "Swiss army knife" security tool.

New fresh scenarios are in the works, spanning diverse technologies and skill levels. (Guess what sentence was written with the help of ChatGPT sigh).

New technology:

• Kubernetes Playgrounds , this is a beta WIP for our new k8s sandbox platform, designed for future complex SRE scenarios.

Please note:

• If your company or team has a professional development or training budget, you can use it to pay for your Pro subscription, just send the link to the Gift page to the person with the credit card ;-) and of course you can gift SadServers to whoever you want as well.
• In the dashboard Achievements page you can get badges to show off your accomplishments (free) or a public webpage + downloadable PDF certificate (Pro accounts).
• For quicker announcements you can follow us in the social medium you hate the least: Bluesky, Mastodon, Twitter, LinkedIn  (we also have a YouTube channel now).

Thanks,

The SadServers Team
