Katacoda Deployment Coming Soon

For those not familiar, Katacoda is most well-known (for me at least), for their hosting & always available 'Ubuntu Playgrounds'.

A 'playground' is essentially an "environment" that's containerized, sandboxed and ephemeral.

To simplify that, Katacoda provides access to a terminal that's running an OS like Ubuntu. The purpose of doing this is to allow users to practice running different commands or even spin up a project you came across on GitHub that you don't want to clone onto your personal computer / expose a localhost port to the internet.

These playgrounds come with full-blown, regularly featured Ubuntu instances. Obviously not without resource constraints imposed since this is free, but they give you a very, very generous & workable leash on it.

I've personally never had my connection to one of Katacoda's terminal throttled, and I've pulled in a few dozen GBs before in a session (don't be a dick & abuse this, these folks are providing a free service that helps folks out - they don't deserve to be punished for that)
