Real engineering work spans many machines. EasyEnv labs can hold several real Linux machines, such as web servers, a database, a Kubernetes control plane, and a CI server, all connected.
Candidates hop between machines, read logs, edit configs, and fix what is broken, exactly like they would at work. You see how they find their way around a system they have never seen before.

ciweb-1 · Ubuntu 24.04SSH · 22 · port-forward 8080Each machine is a real Linux VM with its own terminal, editor, and services. Not a container pretending to be a server.
Start a Kubernetes cluster or a Postgres primary with replicas in one step. The nodes find each other on their own.
Combine recipes into a template once, such as nginx, an app server, and Postgres, and reuse it for every candidate.
Switch between machines from a sidebar. No SSH hopping, no juggling terminal windows.
If a machine serves a web app, open it from the interview and check the result, right next to the terminal.
Each interview gets its own clean lab, and it is removed when the interview ends. Nothing leaks from one candidate to the next.
Choose recipes from the catalog or start from a ready template.
Optionally add a hands-on challenge: a machine set up with a real fault to find and fix.
EasyEnv boots every machine and connects them. The candidate joins from a browser.
Every command on every machine is recorded, so you can follow their path through the system.
A service is down behind a load balancer. Is it the app, the proxy, the database, or DNS? Let them find out.
A real cluster with a real misrouted service or a failing pod. Nothing to memorize, everything to debug.
An app server talking to a real Postgres, with slow queries, a full disk, or a broken migration.
Build a lab from real machines in minutes and see how candidates handle production-like work before you make the offer.
