A few days ago, the second Yandex Olympics for Linux - administrators ended .

The Olympics consisted of three rounds.
The tasks that our players faced are from life, they are daily solved by Yandex system administrators.

The questions of the first round were complex, and only 500 participants answered at least one.
As a result, 36 people went to the second round, ten of them reached the final and arrived on November 11 at the Yandex Moscow office.

During the final, the players repaired the servers, and real admin tambourines helped them:


The final assignment was so difficult that we had to give extra time to identify the three super finalists. The two other participants were determined by a draw among the players and a quiz where they had to answer the question “How many system administrators does our company have?”.

In the super final, we gave the players a very difficult practical task. Only our winner coped with it - he was able to fix the network, the web server and the idle ructfe.org ssl site on the server, the rest of the players managed only the network.

The winner was Valery Tereshko from Minsk, the second place went to Vladimir Rusinov from Voronezh, and the third place went to Vadim Goncharov from Tomsk.

After the draw, participants visited one of our six  data centers.and returned to the office for the solemn presentation of prizes and the traditional beer-party for admins.

Congratulations to the winner and prize winners, we thank all participants and spectators!
And once again we sincerely apologize to our players for the technical problems that arose during the second round.

Although the Olympiad is over, we plan to publish answers to questions and lay out images of the tasks of the second round, final and super final.
