Goal: Get to know each other and hear about how the course will be held.

Assignment

Please tell something about yourself.

• Who are you?
• From 0 to 10, what’s your experience with: git, cloud, infrastructure as code, terraform?
• What do you want to learn?

Howto

We need to setup the environment where we are going to play on.

Where?

On the lab instances all tools are installed. You don’t have to use these machines, you can also use your laptop or some shared server.

Let’s authenticate (GCP)

This depends a bit per environment. Generic steps are described here.

The general requirements are:

• You need an account to login: gcloud auth application-default login
• You need to create a project to try exercises in. (You’ll probably throw this project away when the course is done.)

Let’s authenticate (Azure)

For most users:

az login

You can add --use-device-code to authenticate using Microsoft Authenticator.

To use a specific subscription, issue:

az account set --subscription x-y-z-a-b

Let’s get some code

In the BASIC course, people have built:

• This Azure code.
• This GCP code.

Please git clone it to your workspace, we’ll start with that.

Explanation

• Please ask questions when you have them.
• Please keep your camera on most of the time.
• If you run into issues, please share your screen to troubleshoot together.
• A typical chapter has an explanation, exercises and a summary.
• You can take a break whenever you need to.
