Extend AWS Gameday Quest for Red Hat with the QDK
summary
Extends AWS GameDay by supplying a Quest Development Kit that packages a master control account plus per-team accounts into a reproducible dev workflow, using CloudFormation templates, Ansible playbooks, and SNS/SQS/Lambda event plumbing. Demonstrates Cloudy Hopps (Flappy Bird variant) and Goldfish concentration games deployed to RHEL/OpenShift via agnosticd, with scoring rules, hint penalties, and layered quest levels; quests run remotely for teams worldwide, persist state in DynamoDB, use Python/TypeScript code, and mostly work — some teams bypassed best practices and gained no points.
