Building a Firecracker-Powered Course Platform to Learn Docker and Kubernetes
- nickandbro 2y agoThis is awesome, a lot of work to give users a interactive environment. I am working on a similar setup with my own project, vimgolf.ai , where I help users learn vim through connecting users with vim instances.
- notesinthefield 2y agoThis is neat. I left cloud infra work before everyone wanted k8s knowledge and Ive always assumed im 50% of the way there having docker and nomad experience
- written-beyond 2y agoI never left cloud infra, though I never came across a scale that required k8s anything close to that scale would just go on serverless functions anyway. However, I will agree with you that I've always assumed that I'm too 50% of the way there with docker and misc experience.
- MortyWaves 2y agoI've seen variations of this a few times, especially with Firecracker. I'm surprised there aren't ready made solutions for this use case already.
- plondon514 2y agoI haven’t tried a course yet but Ivan, the creator, is great. IIRC codesandbox also uses firecracker and has a few blogposts on its setup
- sepositus 2y agoCool platform. Really keen on seeing the Dagger course finished.

- fideloper 2y agoWait, how do you run firecracker VMs in containers? The networking part of firecracker has been the most painful for me, I’d love to know more.
- bittermandel 2y agoThis is amazing! We built something similar at Jetstack based on Kata Containers, but it was running in Kubernetes itself. This is exactly what I would love to build if I had the time <3
- suralind 2y agoAwesome article, out of curiosity, how much time did it take you to implement all of that? I have a somewhat similar need, but for a totally different space hence the question.
- la64710 2y agoVery cool
- bzmrgonz 2y agoso you are using firecracker strictly as a featherweight virtualized environment and to save money in cloud bloat-charges yes?
- tekichan 2y agoThis is great
