Who should attend: Cloud Architects, SREs, DevOps engineers, and other IT Professionals AWS GameDay GiddyUp GravitonDate: Monday, November 25, 2024 Place: Online Are you and your team ready to level up your AWS skills? Then join our gamified, challenge-based AWS GameDay “GiddyUp Graviton” on November 25th, 2024 from 10:00AM - 12:30PM CET. What is an AWS GameDay?AWS GameDay is an interactive team-based learning exercise that tests your skills in implementing AWS solutions to solve real-world problems in a gamified, risk-free environment. Most importantly, it is an extremely fun way to learn more about the potential of AWS without the step-by-step instructions provided in workshops or classroom-style sessions. If you are seeking an open-ended, and at times ambiguous, style of training then GameDay is the perfect challenge for you. What is the upcoming AWS GameDay “GiddyUp Graviton” about?The setting for every GameDay is our famous narrative about the fictitious company Unicorn.Rentals. This company revamps its campus to include Mythical Sound Bath Yurts and Spirit Animal Yoga Studios for their employees, the company decided to raise their unicorn rental prices to afford these renovations. Customers outraged by the increase in prices has prompted the company to evaluate their finances. Their AWS SA informed them of Graviton-based instances, which can achieve up to 40% better price performance compared to x86 based instances. Unicorn.Rentals is calling for the best engineering talent to help them migrate their workload to Graviton and reduce their IT infrastructure cost as soon as possible. What you will learn on this Game Day:
