- Realtime whiteboard interaction - learn like you would if I was right in front of you
- In-depth architecture overview and recap
- Deploy and configure Sensu with Configuration Management - I fully cover Chef / Puppet / Ansible / Salt
- Tune and Filter noisy alerts, keep your pager under control
- Write your own Sensu Check and Handlers - Live code demonstration
- Security walkthrough - deploying SSL, hardening API endpoints
- Advanced Sensu-cli usage and examples
- Bonus: Dynamically monitoring infrastructure by pushing your own custom events

When you are finished with the course, you will be ready to deploy a performant, secure, and tuned Sensu installation for your organization.
Let Me Make The Mistakes For You
It's one thing to read docs and get perfect copy-paste command line examples that work. It is another thing to be in real life watching a real engineer fight a live system and try to get it working! I purposely make mistakes just to demonstrate what happens when things go wrong. That gives me an excuse to troubleshoot the problem and then solve it. Then, when you encounter that same mistake in your infrastructure, you will know exactly what to do!

I love building systems I can be proud of.
I also love teaching and empowering others to do the same.
All of my lessons come from this passion, and hopefully it shows.I teach from a background of real experience on tools and technologies that I use in production. (I don't want to teach something that I haven't been on call for.)
I specialize in Advanced deep-dives in distributed systems that are difficult to learn about from a manual. (Which is why I love teaching them!)
