Kodekloud Engineer Labs

This repository contains all my notes for past Kodekloud Engineer tasks which are all performed in a live Linux environment. These tasks simulate actual enterprise challenges and mimics the day-to-day work of System Administrators and Devops Engineers.

For each task, a set of requirements are given. The documentations for the servers are also provided. It is up for the "engineer" to find the solution for each problem.

Versions

[2022-Nov-29] - Mechanics

Mechanics

Here's how the "Kodekloud Engineer" gamified learning works:

  • The tasks are given in a random order.
  • Some tasks are given more than once.
  • For tasks with buggy lab, better to skip them.
  • You will need to wait for 24 hours for the next task to arrive.
[2022-Nov-29] - Markdown for tasks 57 and onwards

Markdown for tasks 57 and onwards

When I started going deep into Linux two years ago at the start of 2020, I didn't know much about markdown files so I just dump all the notes for each tasks in ".sh" files. I've learn so much about markdown since then and I've been using this format in all my documentations, both for my personal notes and work notes.

Having said, you will see tasks 1 to 56 are all in ".sh" files. I didn't want to edit them because they showed how much I don't know before and the tasks 57 and onwards shows how much I've grown since.

Profiles can now be shared publicly. These allows engineers to showcase the challenges they have solved.

[2023-July-26] - Change in mechanics

Change in mechanics

There's been a change in how Kodekloud "gives tasks" to engineers. Previously the tasks are given one at a time, and the engineer needs to finish the current task, and then wait for 24 hours for the next task to arrive.

Kodekloud has change the approach by:

  • Setting different levels for separate categories
  • The engineer can answer as many tasks as they can, as long as they have "Kodekloud coins".
  • Each task cost a number of coins and it is also equivalent to a number of experience points

See screenshot below:
