The Challenge: Build An Enterprise System That Is Resilient To Disasters

You will be trained and challenged to set up cross-data center replication to handle data center failures, a mobile or edge app that will continue to function in spite of network outages, and a system that can scale up quickly and cost-efficiently to handle denial of service attacks.
