Try out Meshery Playground at https://playground.meshery.io/
Meshery Playground is a web-based, collaborative environment that lets you explore Meshery as a cloud native manager and all of the infrastructure it manages, including multiple Kubernetes clusters, CNCF projects and applications, services, and operators that run on Kubernetes. Meshery Playground provides a sandboxed environment to experiment with different infrastructure configurations and deployment options. Its multiplayer plugins allow you to collaborate in real time with your teammates on infrastructure design and operation.
With Meshery Playground, you can:
You can interactively explore all kinds of cloud native infrastructure and do so without having to install them on your local machine. You can create virtual services and deploy sample applications and observe their behavior in real-time.
Meshery Playground also has pre-built scenarios that demonstrate how to implement specific use cases such as traffic splitting, circuit breaking, and other cloud native patterns.
Answer: The Playground is connected to live Kubernetes clusters. While these clusters are refreshed on a daily basis, they do need to be protected from nefarious actors who might use these clusters for cryptomining, for example.
Sign up to receive a user account with perpetually free, full access to the Playground environment.
The Meshery Playground is connected to live Kubernetes cluster(s) and allows users full control over those clusters. Requiring users to register a user account keeps the Playground safe and healthy for all to enjoy. Without requiring users to sign in, the Meshery Playground would allow anonymous access for anyone and everyone to potentially perform nefarious acts.
Answer: No, all of the designs that you have created in the Meshery Playground are saved to your user account and will be available to you each time you sign in to your account. Your designs will be available in the Meshery Playground and any of your other Meshery deployments, too.
In other words, all work done in Kanvas Designer is persisted to your user account.
Answer: Yes, the Meshery Playground clusters are reset on a daily basis. However, only deployments (not designs) that you may have created will be lost.
In other words, only Kanvas Visualizer is reset. All of your work in Meshery UI and Kanvas Designer will remain in your user account.
Answer: It is imperative that each user has their own account to ensure seamless real-time collaboration within the Playground. The use of individual accounts is critical to enable multiple people to access and utilize the powerful collaboration features.
Creating your own account ensures that any designs you create or save will be stored and accessible across sessions, preventing any loss of work.
To ensure accountability in the Playground, it’s crucial to promote the use of individual named accounts. This helps prevent bad actors from hiding behind anonymous general-use accounts and maliciously abusing the Playground. Therefore, the use of named accounts is an essential step towards achieving this goal.
Answer: Yes, Meshery can be deployed on-premises with a single command to download, install, and run your own instance of Meshery in your environment. See all supported platforms to deploy your own Meshery instance at https://docs.meshery.io/installation.
