Technical requirements

At the end of this chapter, you’ll find two different labs based on a Node.js application. We want to ensure you leave this chapter knowing how to practically implement the wheel-of-misfortune game and chaos engineering tests.

You will need the following for the lab:

• A laptop with access to the internet
• Node.js available on your laptop
• 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 kubectl tool installed on your laptop
• The gcloud command line interface (CLI) tool installed on your laptop (if you are using GCP)

You can find all files about this chapter on GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Becoming-a-Rockstar-SRE/blob/main/Chapter16.

Let’s dig into the game that trains SREs to respond faster to problems.
