Summary

AWS GameDay is a daylong simulation designed to help Amazon Web Services (AWS) users figure out how to solve problems they're likely to face in the real world by participating in a live, competitive event where teams manage infrastructure in a live AWS environment. The event has been running since last year's re:Invent conference and has been held at various AWS Summits, with a lighthearted and cooperative spirit that draws players of all levels of AWS experience. Teams are given a "fake-real" environment to work in with no actual risk, and the simulation is designed to be entertaining and fun while also teaching valuable lessons about troubleshooting and problem-solving in the cloud. The event has been successful in helping participants learn new strategies and skills, even for those who were initially considered beginners.
