Issues provisioning and starting labs

I have been using the Kodekloud labs for about a month now. Everything has been working perfectly.

This morning (Fri 18.07.2025) everything has been slow and unstable. Currently I am trying to run the practice tests from the Udemy Kubernetes course.

  • Often the provisioning fails after about 7 minutes showing the egg-timer.

  • Sometimes the provisioning seems to work, but then the lab just shows a blank screen. No instructions or terminal pane.
  • Sometimes the lab is provisioned and starts up correctly but then when I want to check a solution it fails and asks me to refresh.

I am using Google Chrome.

It seems to be getting slower and more unstable over time. Is the system under more load than usual this morning? Is there a known issue with the platform this morning? Was there an update that is causing problems?

I will try again later, but just in case you are not already aware, this is just a heads-up to let you know that I am having trouble.

HI @adamcc

Thanks for reporting ths. Our team is looking at the issue.

I’ll inform you once it’s resolved.

Thanks Santosh. I just tried again and it seems to be better now.

Hm, I take it back. It provisioned the lab and brought up the left and right panels, but the terminal is hung, not showing a command prompt.

#5

It eventually brought up a command prompt and from that moment it worked as usual. The ‘check’ buttons on the left were very slow.

#7

Now we are back to this state:

No error, but also no left and right panes.

Sorry, I didn’t know.

I deleted the post but the history is still visible. Feel free to hard-remove it at your end.

Hi @Santosh_KodeKloud, @Tej-Singh-Rana,

I am seeing the same issue again. Everything is very slow and now it failed at the provisioning stage.

Hi @adamcc

I just tried with CKA Mock 1, and it loaded fine at my end.
Can you please try again?
If you see the same behaviour, please report back with the lab name.

Hi @Santosh_KodeKloud,

It was one of the Udemy CKAD Kubernetes Security labs - RBAC or Cluster Roles I think.

I’m now doing the Helm Concepts lab and it was very slow to start up and extremely slow to check my answers again.
