What you are playing

Every night is how RubixKube actually works.

Observers

Small probes sit on each source: a cluster, a machine, a cloud account. They report what breaks.

Incidents, grouped

One failure shows up in many places. Rubix groups the alerts into one incident and runs one RCA.

Root cause, with evidence

Rubix tests each idea against logs, metrics and what changed, until one holds.

A Fix and Follow-ups

Every RCA ends with a Fix for now and Follow-ups so it does not happen again.

Observe, Assist, Auto

Your team decides what Rubix may change on its own. Anything destructive still goes to a person.

It remembers

Past RCAs make the next investigation faster. In the game, one of them solves the last night.

Five nights
  1. Night 1Juniper CoffeeA crash loop, an alert storm, and a job that keeps coming back.
  2. Night 2Hearth BakeryConnect three machines and an AWS account, then a full disk and a missing permission.
  3. Night 3Harbor RadioRain, two incidents at once, and a choice about which one comes first.
  4. Night 4Juniper, in Auto modeRubix fixes things on its own, until a fix would delete something.
  5. Night 5The long nightA migration breaks everything at once. A note from the first night finds the cause.

Now try it on your own systems.

Connect a cluster, a machine or a cloud account, and Rubix starts watching.
