CloudSprocket Labs
Free, disposable practice environments for cloud and DevOps skills. Every lab is open source, runs on your machine or in your browser, and resets in seconds when you break it. Breaking it is rather the point.
Public prerelease · v0.1.0-alpha.9
A disposable systemd server with thirteen realistic incident tickets, ordered hints and outcome-based verification. Choose Ubuntu, Debian or Rocky Linux and practise the evidence-first repair loop.
Available now
Four disposable Linux hosts, a ready-made control node and every Ansible CLI. In your browser in two minutes, or on your laptop with one command.
Early alpha · 0.1.0-alpha.6
A safe baseline on your own Docker daemon, three sample apps you run before you containerise them, ten self-checked exercises from first container through Compose, and six break-and-fix drills. In your browser with Codespaces, or on your laptop with one command.
Fundamentals first, orchestration and infrastructure as code last. Every lab shares the same commands, the same disposable design and the same rule: it marks your work, so you always know whether you got it right. Want an email when one goes live? Say which.
Prometheus, Grafana and Loki against a system that is genuinely misbehaving. Find the fault, write the alert, prove it fires.
A disposable cluster and ten ways a pod refuses to run. Troubleshooting-first Kubernetes on your own machine.
Infrastructure as code without a cloud account or a bill. Real resources, real state, and drills for drift and state surgery.
