# Devops Challenge !

## Teams are supplied

* a copy of [imdb.sql](http://www.webstepbook.com/supplements/databases/imdb.sql) 
* 4 ec2 instances to use however they see fit (example - 1 x web, 1 x monitor/metrics/backups, 2 x db)
* set of cucumber tests describing the app they need to build

## Adjudicating panel get

* a nagios instance that runs a bunch of cucumber-nagios checks  (same as cucumber tests supplied to teams) 
against each teams infrastructure
* metrics of app response times etc (collectd/visage)

## Challenge Goals / ideas

* build an APP that makes all cucumber(-nagios) tests pass
* meet some site response time goals 
* refactor to meet a revised set of response time goals ? (stage 2)
* perhaps no caching layer allowed in stage 1 for promoting better app/sql optimization
* chaos-monkey ??

## Notes

* an example [webUI](https://github.com/aussielunix/percona-ops-my-movie) that participants should build 
(but cannot just clone the example)
