DevOps Playgrounds
Remote sandboxes for learning and experimentation — fresh Linux VMs, Docker hosts, or Kubernetes clusters in seconds.
HotROD + Jaeger on K3s
Jaeger's HotROD demo app pre-deployed on a 3-node K3s cluster, wired to a Jaeger v2 all-in-one over OTLP. Click a customer, then read the trace.
OpenClaw on K3s with agent-sandbox + gVisor
A 3-node K3s cluster with gVisor (runsc), the kubernetes-sigs/agent-sandbox controllers, and the OpenClaw + gVisor example pre-deployed. OpenClaw's Control UI is available as a dedicated tab.
OpenTelemetry Demo on k3s
A snapshot-backed three-node k3s cluster with the complete OpenTelemetry Demo, including Jaeger and Grafana.
Dual-Network Router Lab
Five Ubuntu VMs across public and private subnets, joined by a dual-homed router. The private subnet has no direct Internet access.
Docker on Btrfs
Hands-on Docker on Btrfs: experiment with native snapshots, compression, and checksums; inspect setup, grow the filesystem live, and back up/restore images and containers.
Getting Started with Istio
A simple K3s cluster with Istio service mesh and the sample Bookinfo app deployed. The playground is a good fit for workshops, self-paced labs, and quick experimentation with Istio and service mesh fundamentals.
2048 Game (Kubernetes Edition)
A sample app from https://github.com/digitalocean/kubernetes-sample-apps running on an iximiuz Labs K3s cluster.
