Creating Awesome Labs with Docker/Docker-Compose and Google Cloud Shell

Hi All,

For my course, Dive Into Ansible I've created a free lab that you can spin up in minutes (giving you 7 nodes, 1 x Ansible, 3 x CentOS and 3 x Ubuntu, ready to go with Ansible, Web Terminals and SSH preconfigured) at https://diveinto.com/p/playground

(which can be used for free and independently, regardless of if you're using my course)

I did a presentation last week at the London Infrastructure as Code Meetup (sponsored by G-Research) on Creating Awesome Labs with Docker, Docker-Compose and Google Cloud Shell. It gives a really nice overview of the above and it also shows an Ansible themed arcade game that I made for the course which is a lot of fun!).

The lab in question for this presentation is the one I've made specifically for Ansible. If you'd like to see the meetup video and re-use these efforts in your own projects (it's all opensourced), the meetup video is available at -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNjEi-Z8t3I (the Ansible game is shown at 14:35)

Am aiming to attend more meetups like this and also, post other tech videos on YouTube.

I'm currently wrapping up a free course on Kubernetes that will go on the channel (will be approx 1 hour long)!
