The Story:
Welcome to Unicorn.Rentals, the most magical startup to emerge from the enchanted land of Silicon Valley! As our newest hires, you've been whisked away to a world of innovation and technology. But there's a twist! Our sprawling microservice architecture is in need of some serious TLC, and only the swiftest and sharpest minds can help us avoid a catastrophic meltdown.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, involves high-speed deployment and troubleshooting under the pressure of a ticking clock. With our company expanding at lightning speed, our infrastructure needs to scale and adapt on the fly. Will you master the art of microservices and keep our systems running smoothly, or will chaos reign supreme?

Key Services: You'll be diving deep into the magical realms of Amazon EC2, Auto Scaling, Amazon VPC, Amazon S3, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, AWS CodeDeploy, Amazon CloudFormation, Serverless Application Model (SAM), Amazon CloudWatch, AWS X-Ray, and AWS Fargate. These are your enchanted tools, and it's up to you to wield them with precision and creativity.

What to Expect:

• Teams of 4: Gather your unicorn squad and prepare to conquer the challenges ahead.
• Bring Your Laptop: We'll sprinkle some AWS fairy dust (aka accounts) your way.
• No Spectators: Only participants allowed—this is a hands-on experience!
• Pizza & Beer: Enjoy some unicorn fuel at your table while you work your magic!
