Let's state what Katacoda currently (at the time of writing this comment) provides for kubernetes.io (I'm open to suggestions and/or edits):

From Tim Bannister on the SIG Docs meeting on Jan 10, 2023: are there features that Katacoda did not offer and we should consider? |

Killercoda offers an environment, running a pre-installed Kubernetes cluster.
https://killercoda.com/kubernetes Killercoda offers migration help, from people coming from the Katacoda platform: Sample learning environment with the cluster already running, kubectl configured. Note: Killercoda does not offer a pre-installed minikube (or kind), only ubuntu. So the "hello-minikube" or "create-cluster" scenarios, won't work out-of-the-box. The images come with both docker and podman running, as well as the theia editor. One bonus feature is that they offer 2 node clusters, for more advanced scenarios. Currently it is not possible to replicate the Killercoda node setup "at home" (offline). |

👋 play-with-kubernetes (https://labs.play-with-k8s.com/) maintainer here. I few months ago (#34007) I brought the same topic to this group when the initial Katakoda announcement was made and the community seemed interested in evaluating the alternative of using an "open source" proved (it's already in the kubernetes docs) solution. The main reason why we decided not to move forward was because Katakoda / O'Reilly decided to keep supporting the kubernetes tutorials. Now that has come to an end. I'm happy to resume those conversations if there's interest in bringing this topic back to the table. I'm really hoping for an open source alternative to be chosen this time so this doesn't happen again 🙏 |

@reylejano @sftim any updates about this? Is there any interest from the docs SIG or the k8s project to provide a replacement for katadacoda? I'd personally love to see something, and I currently have bandwidth and willingness to help here. |

Apologies if this is not the right channel for my ask in advnace. We're planning to host an offline k8s lab environment for students to test their understanding of k8s training, and for the same we're looking for offline setup to host browser based k8s scenarios where students can practice/test their understanding. Is there any offline version of Killerkoda-like systems? If yes, would someone please help me pointing the direction? Thank you |

I wonder if we could use something like https://webvm.io/ (which emulates x86 purely client side) |

Have you considered using educates (https://github.com/vmware-tanzu-labs/educates-training-platform) which is a cloud-native training platform that checks all the requirements? It's been developed for some years by VMware and just made open source. It's experience is like katacoda/killercoda, but much more feature-rich as it can run on a cluster giving the user only access to a namespace or a vcluster or even a VM, which reduces the cost of execution. Check some sccreenshots (https://docs.educates.dev/project-details/sample-screenshots) or the docs at (https://docs.educates.dev) |
