Workflow proof
See the full challenge loop before anyone signs in.
A compact walkthrough of how Kompanion moves from challenge selection to assignment, live debugging, validation, and evidence tracking.
02
Assign without setup
Create a private candidate session with selected challenges and one access phrase.
03
Candidate fixes the system
They stay inside Kompanion, use the live shell, inspect failures, and patch the real runtime.
04
Validation proves the fix
Automated checks verify live state and separate partial fixes from solved challenges.
05
Track evidence live
Interviewers see active sessions, solved challenges, command trail, and final status.
Features
Everything you need to run cloud native interviews.
Real Terminal
Full shell connected to a live production Kubernetes cluster. Candidates run kubectl, terraform, and any CLI tool during live interviews.
Code Editor
Web editor with syntax highlighting for YAML, HCL, and more — right in the browser.
Auto Validation
Built-in checks verify candidate work instantly against live infrastructure state.
Guided Objectives
Structured challenge steps that test real-world infrastructure skills, not trivia.
Zero Setup
No local installs, no cloud accounts. Generate a phrase and candidates start immediately.
K8s & Terraform
Purpose-built challenges across both Kubernetes and Terraform ecosystems.
How it works
Start solving challenges in under a minute.
Generate a phrase
The interviewer generates a secure access phrase. It provisions a just-in-time environment for the candidate.
Candidate joins
The candidate enters the phrase and gets a terminal, code editor, and clear objectives — all in one view.
Build & validate
Candidates debug real broken infrastructure. Automated checks verify the fix instantly - no manual review.
