The DevOps Improv Session
summary
Live improv exercises teach practical communication for ops teams using two staged games: three-headed consultant (one-word sequencing) and fortunately/unfortunately containers (story-tagging). Volunteers act out scenarios that name real tools—PagerDuty alerts, Kubernetes clusters, Docker and Docker Compose—and rehearse responses to an outage that causes a 40‑minute blackout during a big event. Outcomes include practiced on‑call phrasing, agreement to sell 99.999% SLAs with maintenance windows, and an invite to kuboki karaoke and stickers.
