- Platform engineering learners working with Kubernetes and GitOps

- Static validators accept equivalent solutions rather than matching submitted text; runtime validation is not available.
Field notes
Each ticket is intended to include a story, starter files, and explicit acceptance criteria, with the participant solving it in their own editor. Scoring separates a 100-point essential part from a 50-point extension, and the rules explicitly exclude speed bonuses and penalties for failed attempts or hints. The page also says practice results do not count toward the official scoreboard.
