Can four devs build an IDP in 90 minutes?

Akamai Cloud + LearnKube are teaming up for a brand-new live Capture the Flag competition at KubeCon Atlanta.

Grab three friends (or we’ll squad you up) and race to spin up a production-ready Internal Developer Platform on raw Kubernetes — the kind most teams spend months cobbling together. Each member of the top team receives a an Orin Nano!

The Details

👨‍🏫 Led by LearnKube instructors Salman Iqbal and Amin Astaneh
➕ FREE event Includes $300 in Akamai Cloud credits and lunch

The Challenge
Four devs. One cluster. 90 minutes.
1️⃣ Start from zero: clean cluster, no cheats
2️⃣ Build the essentials: namespaces, RBAC, deploy templates, networking, and policy guardrails
3️⃣ Compete across three parallel tracks: ship your IDP components and climb the live leaderboard

Who should attend
→ Platform engineers and SREs
→ DevOps and infra teams
→ Technical leaders exploring build vs. buy

Want to level up your cloud native skills? We’re excited to sponsor KubeCrash again.

Platform engineering is evolving fast, and internal developer platforms (IDPs) promise efficiency, but are they really reducing toil or just repackaging complexity? At KubeCrash Keynote, hear Billy Thompson, DevOps and Platform Engineering Lead at Akamai, walk through examples of deploying multi-tenant Kubernetes workloads and building scalable IDPs using GitOps, Pulumi, and the Akamai App Platform.

KubeCrash is a free, virtual conference. Learn from end users like Dima Shevchuk (Grammarly) and Lisa Shissler Smith (formerly at Netflix and Zapier), and take away actionable insights.
