Can four devs build an IDP in 90 minutes?

Akamai Cloud + LearnKube are teaming up for a brand-new live Capture the Flag competition at KubeCon Atlanta.

Grab three friends (or we’ll squad you up) and race to spin up a production-ready Internal Developer Platform on raw Kubernetes — the kind most teams spend months cobbling together. Each member of the top team receives a an Orin Nano!

The Details
🏆 1st Prize: NVIDIA Jetson Super Developer Kit
👨‍🏫 Led by LearnKube instructors Salman Iqbal and Amin Astaneh
➕ FREE event Includes $300 in Akamai Cloud credits and lunch

The Challenge
Four devs. One cluster. 90 minutes.
1️⃣ Start from zero: clean cluster, no cheats
2️⃣ Build the essentials: namespaces, RBAC, deploy templates, networking, and policy guardrails
3️⃣ Compete across three parallel tracks: ship your IDP components and climb the live leaderboard

Who should attend
→ Platform engineers and SREs
→ DevOps and infra teams
→ Technical leaders exploring build vs. buy
