Observability Playgrounds

Remote sandbox environments for learning and experimenting without worrying about setup and cleanup. Run anything on vanilla Linux VMs, get a fresh Docker host or Kubernetes cluster in seconds, publish ports, collaborate via sharing terminal sessions, SSH from the command line, and more.

ELK Stack

This is a hands-on ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) playground enhanced with Docker and Beats to simulate real-world log and observability scenarios. It includes an Elastic Cluster (es-node-01 and es-node-02) for storing and indexing data, a test-node-03 running Docker with Filebeat, Metricbeat, and Heartbeat for log and metric collection, and kibana-node-04 for visualizing everything via Kibana UI—perfect for learning and experimentation.
