Site Reliability Engineers supporting Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA) and OpenShift Dedicated (OSD)

Each module should include:

• An overview of a specific AWS service as is used by SRE in OSD/ROSA. This will reference existing AWS documentation where possible.
• A guided tutorial to interact with the service in “everyday” scenarios using the AWS CLI. Not all details will be spelled out to challenge the user, e.g. passing in a profile is assumed.
• A lab with an initial script that will set up something “broken” or “misconfigured” related to the AWS service in the module that the user must fix.
