Real Incidents.
Simulated Systems.
Hands-On Mastery.
Step inside a simulated tech company. As production alerts, failing pipelines, and urgent colleague tickets flood in, investigate in an authentic terminal and code editor. Fix the root cause and get graded on the actual environment state.

Choose Your Engineering Track
From Day-1 CI/CD pipelines to Enterprise Chaos Engineering. Pick a track to begin your on-call shift.
DevOps / CI-CD
Master pipelines, broken builds, artifact packaging, automated deployments, rollbacks, and Git branching workflows.
Cloud Engineering
Design and debug cloud services across AWS, Azure, and GCP: compute VMs, VPC networking, object storage, and managed databases.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)
Define SLIs/SLOs, balance error budgets, orchestrate incident responses, eliminate operational toil, and run postmortems.
Platform Engineering
Build internal developer platforms (IDP), curate golden paths, enable developer self-service, and standardize templates.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Provision reproducible infrastructure with Terraform, OpenTofu, and Pulumi. Debug state drift, lockouts, and module refactoring.
Cloud FinOps & Cost
Audit runaway cloud bills, enforce resource tagging, rightsize overprovisioned compute, and optimize reservation commitments.
DevSecOps
Embed security into delivery pipelines: SAST/DAST automation, secret leakage prevention, SBOM tracking, and container scanning.
Cloud Security & IAM
Enforce least-privilege policies, rotate exposed access keys, remediate public S3 buckets, and configure cloud audit trails.
Kubernetes & Containers
Troubleshoot CrashLoopBackOff pods, configure ingress controllers, debug network policies, and craft lean Docker multi-stage images.
Observability & Monitoring
Instrument metrics, configure Prometheus alerts, build intuitive Grafana dashboards, query OpenTelemetry distributed traces, and grep structured logs.
Release & Build Engineering
Orchestrate release trains, semantic versioning, artifact registries, feature flag cutovers, and canary/blue-green deployments.
Linux / Systems Administration
Investigate zombie processes, out-of-disk inodes, broken systemd unit files, TCP socket exhaustion, and tricky Unix permissions.
Cloud Networking
Debug DNS resolution issues, load balancer health checks, NAT gateway routing, security group rules, VPN tunnels, and TLS terminations.
Database Reliability (DBRE)
Manage database replication lags, automated failovers, slow query bottlenecks, connection pool starvation, and non-blocking migrations.
Incident Management & Production Support
Take the primary on-call pager, triage critical SEV-1 outages, run stakeholder communications, execute runbooks, and lead blameless RCAs.
Configuration Management & Automation
Author idempotent Ansible playbooks, automate operational tasks with Bash and Python, and manage scheduled cron jobs safely.
GitOps (Argo CD & Flux)
Implement declarative continuous delivery with Argo CD and Flux. Resolve sync drift, reconcile loops, and manage cluster application sets.
MLOps / LLMOps
Deploy large language models, orchestrate feature store pipelines, scale GPU worker clusters, and monitor model latency and drift.
DataOps
Keep data pipelines healthy: orchestrate Airflow/dbt DAGs, run schema contract verifications, and prevent silent data pipeline corruption.
Chaos & Resilience Engineering
Inject network latency, simulate sudden AZ power loss, validate RTO/RPO disaster recovery plans, and lead high-stakes game days.
Cloud Architecture
Evaluate multi-region trade-offs, design high-availability distributed systems, plan cloud migrations, and conduct Well-Architected reviews.
Developer Experience (DevEx)
Slash CI feedback loops from 25 minutes to 3 minutes, standardize devcontainers, optimize build caches, and streamline onboarding.
Compliance & Governance
Write Policy-as-Code with OPA / Gatekeeper, gather automated SOC2 / ISO 27001 audit evidence, and manage rigorous change workflows.
