24 alternatives to Hands-On Cloud Troubleshooting Labs – AWS, GCP, Azure, and Kubernetes
Hello HN, I’m excited to share something we’ve been working on: Cloud Troubleshooting Labs. This tool provides on-demand environments for engineers to practice hands-on troubleshooting with AWS, GCP, Azure, and Kubernetes. What it does: We use Pulumi to spin up these environments. Each scenario includes a diagram and an explanation of the available IT infrastructure. Engineers are tasked with fixing configuration issues to make the application work. Depending on the test type, the environment could range from a simple terminal to a full cloud environment or a web-based VSCode. Many of our…

Hi HN, I previously wore SWE/SRE hats on GCP. Later, I was on the other side, managing thousands of machines. The friction points of onboarding and operating cloud systems are personal problems to me. I’ve found it hard to keep track of all the random cloud resources floating around, especially as my team’s assets proliferated. Occasionally, there is a resource affecting an outage but no one remembers where it is. I am constantly frustrated by existing tooling. APIs can work, after you’ve navigated the byzantine documentation, but I often find myself doing ad-hoc tasks which are best…

I've been playing with cross platform windows/linux Kubernetes clusters recently and have had endless problems with installer scripts misconfiguring networking by using the wrong NIC etc. I got frustrated with the tooling on windows to debug container networking so I built a tool that attempts to stitch together the HNS (Host Network Service) & HCS (Host Compute Service) resources into a tree that shows the relationship between configs. You can also search over it to find the networking impacting your containers or launch the windows built in packet capture tool to create a network…

Hey HN – We’re Danny and Ethan from Telophase (https://telophase.dev). We’re building automation to isolate cloud environments by tenant or team. You can think of us as an Open-Source AWS Control Tower[1]. Our CLI is a drop-in tool to manage multi-account AWS setups. To start, we support AWS Account Factory and landing zones defined in AWS CDK. We plan to support multi-project GCP and multi-subscription Azure setups soon! Features: 1. Manage accounts in code. 2. Provision accounts and their infrastructure with a single command, `telophase deploy`. 3. Deploy to a subset of accounts…

Hi I'm Victor, the developer of CloudPrice.net. Over the last 8 months, we've worked hardly to expand our former site, AzurePrice.net, to also support AWS and GCP instances. I would greatly appreciate feedback from the community on what is good or what else might be missing. Below is a quick list of main features that we have: - Single view of all savings options - Metadata about Azure, AWS, GCP instances - Region pricing comparison - Best alternatives (supercharged using ML) - More than 50 filters - Pricing in different currencies - Side by side comparison - Price / Performance - API…

Hi HN, These are three FOSS Pulumi providers (defang-aws, defang-gcp, defang-azure) that take a Docker Compose-like project and provision it as real infrastructure to the respective cloud: VPC, subnets, load balancers, serverless containers (ECS Fargate, Cloud Run, Container App), builds, managed PostgreSQL, Redis, LLMs, and public/private DNS. Develop once, deploy anywhere: all three providers expose the same Compose-shaped surface. They contain the same Pulumi resources: Project, Build, Service, Postgres, Redis, LLM. Each service in the Compose services map gets provisioned as one of…

Aether▲26Since coding agents like Claude Code and Codex came out, I've been pretty obsessed with them. It's hard not to when you're getting a 20x discount on inference. I've also been frustrated by them a lot. I hated walking around with my laptop lid open while connected to a hotspot on my phone, having to tediously accept commands so I don't lose my root directory, and running out of RAM when running multiple agents that were spinning up dev servers in different worktrees at once. A lot of people would say existing cloud agents are the solution to this, as none of the above problems apply to any…

We have been working on multy.dev, an open-source cloud agnostic API that makes it easy to deploy the same infrastructure to any cloud provider using native managed services. The motivation was the realisation that, even when using Terraform, migrating infrastructure code requires an end-to-end re-write. Even though most core resources are the same in any major cloud, developers need to learn a new provider to deploy the same infrastructure when moving providers. We are still in early days of development and currently support the core services from AWS and Azure: - Networking…
