Hobbyfarm - an OpenSource Kubernetes Training Environment
summary
Hobby Farm is an open source platform that provisions per-student VMs via Terraform-backed VM templates, hands students a root shell tunneled into the browser and serves step-by-step labs written as Markdown with click-to-run steps. It stores users, content and state as Kubernetes CRDs so the cluster etcd is the database, tracks step completion and timings, destroys idle VMs on timeout, and integrates Guacamole for RDP and code-server for IDEs. The stack is Angular frontend, Go backend, Helm deployable; dozens of trainers scale across thousands of employees.
