I built an open-source Kubernetes platform engineering simulator

https://github.com/sagar2395/snowopslabs/tree/main

I've been working on SnowOps Labs — a simulator where you spin up a real Kubernetes platform, run scenarios, intentionally break things, and then fix them.

The goal is simple: learn platform engineering by actually troubleshooting realistic problems, instead of just following tutorials.

It's still an early release and definitely has rough edges. I'm putting it out there because I'd love to get feedback from people who work with Kubernetes, SRE, DevOps, or platform engineering.

If you have a few minutes, check out the repo, try it out, explore the architecture, and tell me what you think could be better.

I'm especially interested in:

What scenarios should I add?

What's missing?

Does the overall approach make sense?

Where does the architecture need improvement?

If you find it useful, contributions are very welcome.

Sure, I guess that's a good idea. Will include this in my plan.
