ITBench-Scenarios

Code repository for scenarios and environment setup as part of ITBench

ITBench incorporates a collection of problems that we call scenarios. For example, one of the SRE scenarios in ITBench is to resolve a “High error rate on service order-management” in a Kubernetes environment. Another scenario that is relevant for the CISO persona involves assessing the compliance posture for a “new control rule detected for RHEL 9.” Each of the ITBench scenarios are deployed in an operational environment in which problem(s) occur.

CISO Scenarios

These scenarios simulate compliance-related misconfigurations. Each scenario provides:

• A pre-configured environment with specific compliance issues
• Tools to detect misconfigurations
• Validation methods to verify successful remediation CISO scenarios are located here.

SRE Scenarios

These scenarios focus on observability and incident response. Each scenario includes:

• A comprehensive observability stack deployment featuring:
  • Prometheus for metrics collection
  • Grafana for visualization and single mode of API interactions for agents
  • Loki for log aggregation
  • Elasticsearch and OpenSearch for search and analytics
  • Jaeger for distributed tracing
  • Kubernetes events exporter
• Simulated faults that trigger service degradation
• Thereby leading to alerts associated with application performance issues such as increased error rates and latency spikes SRE scenarios are located here.

FinOps Scenarios

Each scenario includes:

• The core SRE observability stack
• OpenCost integration for cost monitoring
• Simulated faults trigger cost overrun alerts FinOps scenarios are located here along-side SRE scenarios.
