Quick Start with Kubernetes Playground
Explore these tools and example tasks, then sign in and launch the Kubernetes lab to practice with real software. Complete the lab setup before running the examples.
List namespaces
See how cluster resources are organized.
kubectl get namespacesList pods
Inspect workloads in the current namespace.
kubectl get podsCreate a deployment
Create a small web workload in the lab.
kubectl create deployment web --image=nginxInspect deployments
Check desired and available replicas.
kubectl get deploymentsExpose a workload
Create a service for the web deployment after creating it.
kubectl expose deployment web --port=80Scale a workload
Increase the web deployment to two replicas.
kubectl scale deployment web --replicas=2Remove a deployment
Clean up the web workload when the exercise is complete.
kubectl delete deployment webNo setup needed

Online Kubernetes Playground FAQ
Does the Playground provide a real Kubernetes cluster?
Sign in and launch the Kubernetes lab to use its hosted cluster. Cluster commands run in that lab; the examples here introduce the workflow.
What can I practice with Kubernetes?
Inspect nodes and pods, create deployments, expose services, and study scaling, configuration, networking, and storage through the Kubernetes Skill Tree.
Do I need to install a cluster on my computer?
No. LabEx hosts the learning environment. Use its browser terminal and follow the selected lab’s instructions for connecting to the cluster.
Is the Kubernetes Playground free?
Sign in to launch a free Kubernetes lab and follow its setup instructions. Session duration and resources depend on the selected lab and your plan.
Do I need to install software?
No local installation is required. Sign in and open the lab in a modern browser. Follow the lab instructions to configure software inside the environment.
Where can I use more commands and features?
Sign in and launch the Kubernetes lab to use real tools. Complete the setup, then use the terminal or application provided by the lab.
How do I continue learning Kubernetes?
Follow the Kubernetes Skill Tree for guided labs and challenges. Practice regularly, inspect command output and ask Labby for help.
