What I Build

TenkaCloud

Realistic cloud training breaks down when every event needs weeks of setup. TenkaCloud turns GameDay-style competitions into a repeatable platform: a multi-tenant control plane deploys challenge environments straight into participants' AWS accounts, so people learn on real infrastructure — not on slides or simulators.

Formats & platform

  • Battle — real-time competitions between teams
  • Challenge — self-paced problem solving on real AWS
  • • Operations console for organizers: tenants, roles, SSO, auditability
  • • Automated deploys into participants' own AWS accounts

Who it's for

  • CCoE — Cloud Centers of Excellence running internal enablement
  • SRE / Platform teams — Teams practicing incident response and operations
  • Training managers — Technical training with real AWS accounts, not slides
  • Universities & communities — Hands-on events without heavy per-event setup

The platform is open source. BULL LLC provides commercial support around it — hosting competitions, building custom problems, and adopting it in-house.
