Could you build this?

Partial The UI and challenge flow are vibe-codeable, but realistic simulated Linux hosts, databases, and networking that respond correctly to student actions are hard to build.

What it would actually take: The stack would combine sandboxed containers or VMs per challenge, scripted fault injection, and a web terminal and log viewer. Making the simulation realistic and verifying that a student's fix actually resolves the fault requires SRE and systems expertise to design good scenarios. Scaling the isolated environments per user is the main infrastructure challenge.
