DevOps 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.

Pro Tip: Build your own playgrounds by tweaking base templates or adding custom scripts. Automate repetitive setups and easily share fully configured environments — think of it as a server-side JSFiddle!
