Technical requirements
At the end of this chapter, you’ll find an autoscaling simulation lab based on cloud infrastructure, as we want to ensure you leave this chapter with practical knowledge.
You will need the following for the lab:
- A laptop with access to the internet
- An account on a cloud service provider (we recommend Google Cloud Platform (GCP); you can create a free tier account here: https://cloud.google.com/free/)
- The Terraform CLI tool installed on your laptop
- The Google Cloud CLI tool installed on your laptop (if you are using GCP)
You can find all files for this chapter on the public GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Becoming-a-Rockstar-SRE/blob/main/Chapter08.
