Last month we got the opportunity to organize the Global DevOps Bootcamp (link) and it was a blast!

I wanted to create an overview of all blogposts that I could find about the event, so here it is.

Challenges

The GDBC team has opened up the challenges website we used during the event itself so everyone can go through the challenges (and behind the scenes videos) to keep on learning! Available under the creative commons (non-commercial) license on gdbc-challenges.com

Looking back at the event day

There are a lot of people who blogged about their day at the event, how they found out about it at all and those posts are awesome to read.

Here is an overview:

• Thomas Rümmler helped organize an event in Stuttgart, Germany and wrote about the experience here.
• In Stockholm Sweden Antariksh Mistry was at a venue organized by Soldify. This was his first GDBC and you can read about his experience here.
• Some venues even created a video of their day! This one is from a venue in Bogotá, Colombia and this one is from Vancouver, Canada. This one is from Quebec, Canada.
