Incident Response and Automation Virtual Internship
This comprehensive 14-week virtual internship track focuses on developing advanced skills in incident response, on-call management, and automated remediation. Interns will learn to quickly identify, triage, and resolve production issues to minimize downtime and maintain high availability. Through hands-on projects using Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana, and other SRE tools, interns will build expertise in setting up monitoring and alerting, implementing incident management workflows, and automating common remediation tasks. By the end of the internship, participants will have a portfolio of real-world incident response and automation projects that showcase their ability to effectively manage and resolve complex production incidents.
