Hello Linux/DevOps/SRE enthusiast or professional, 

This is the SadServers newsletter, coming out every two months or so.

New Scenarios

• "Constanta": Jumping Frog – this is a fun "hack" (Capture the Flag) challenge, where you have to break into somebody else's account.

• "Bharuch": Lost in Translation – a scenario where you got a Docker image with the wrong architecture, how do we fix this? 
  
  
• "Quito": Control One Container from Another – as the tile says, the challenge here is to connect two Docker containers so that you can start one from the other.
  
  
• "Bangalore": Envoy Panics – introducing a new tool to troubleshoot, based on Envoy's behavior when all backends are down.

        What kind of scenarios would you like to see next? let us know.

New or Improved Features

• Gift SadServers – similar to a gift card, you can buy a SadServers Pro plan for a friend or you can use your company's professional development stipend so they can buy this for you or your team. More explanations here.
  
  
• We are very close to releasing the new Business plan (see summary and pricing, more documentation coming). It's meant for organizations using SadServers in any capacity (interviewing job candidates or training for example)
  
  
• Other: SadServers has been a bit too successful and sometimes AWS would run out of spot instances (the default VM we run on) in some AZs. This issue has been fixed. We are also taking your feedback and reviewing current scenarios with imperfect explanations/check script, etc so we improve them.

If you or someone you know wants to make money creating SadServers scenarios, please let us know!

Happy learning and happy troubleshooting!

Fernando Duran
