mcw's Issues

Containers and DevOps: Improvements to DevOps coverage in trainer guide preferred solution

Containers and DevOps

The preferred solution mentions little about how to address the DevOps concerns.

Some suggestions could be:

• Mention helm and draft and Dev Spaces tooling and how these fit into the dev, test and deploy workflow
• Show how Helm can be used to deploy containers for each tenant from one or more common Helm charts using the same base containers (e.g. multiple deployments from same chart with parameters from the environment to handle tenant-specific differences for content, static asset files, etc.)
• CI/CD pipeline diagram to show how to deploy changes into the AKS cluster using VSTS (the HOL shows the CI build part but not how to handle deployments from the pipeline).
• Address how each tenant could have their own deployment (different options here, for example tenant static assets could be pulled from git repos via sidecar containers or from blob storage published during the CI build process). The idea would be to use convention over configuration and pass in environment variables for each tenant in VSTS CI/CD pipeline.

The whiteboard trainer guide could be updated with diagrams and some descriptions. The HOL could be extended to include draft, helm, and Dev Spaces.

I think the preferred solution should at least be expanded since it is called "Containers and DevOps".

Feedback is welcome on this idea.

Test WebHook for Team Integration

We should be able to have nice team integration, I've set that up using the top level MCW repo, I'll close this issue after testing a little.

Incorrect content description on homepage

On your homepage, microsoftcloudworkshop.com, one of the workshops, Hybrid Identity, has the incorrect description.

The link goes to the correct page around hybrid identity but the description is all around networking.

Hands-On-Lab Not found

Some of the Hands-On-Lab Not found in the Learning Download Center.
For example: Azure Security And Management

Where is Cognitive-services-and-deep-learning?

Hello!

Why https://github.com/microsoft/MCW-Cognitive-services-and-deep-learning isn't listed here?

getting started info

Need to create generalized "Getting Started" content and fill it with field/partner/customer appropriate:

How to design workshop experience
Steps to holding a workshop
Invitations
Know before you go
etc.

Need to update the template to point to this shared content in MCW.

HOL Content

I saw closed issue #12 related to HOL content missing. I do not have access to the learning download site, and as a CSA, I need to be able to get this content. How can I resolve this? I believe the content should reside here in GitHub with the relevant workshop.

Thanks!

Add topics for target audiences to MCW template

Make it easy for the public to search on workshops by role.

All labs - Update to use Visual Studio 2019

With the release fo 2019 and the additional features added to VS Code, all labs can be updated to Visual Studio 2019 (or VS Code where applicable).

Low priority.

Formatting of Slide #9 in Deck 01B

The formatting of slides 9 and 10 seem to hide the sample only tag under the actual text making it easy to miss.

Add Sticker Art to MCW Site

We need to capture all our MCW stickers to be used in various ways in a subdirectory within the MCW site. These then can be used by anyone to create stickers for various purposes. As we come up with new stickers we can add them here.

Question

Hi

I am a huge fan and had the opportunity to go through more than a few of these MCWs.
Like many I have suffered the issues of the Before HOL to be completed nicely and in actual synch with the steps by steps instructions.
May I suggest to explore having the Before HOL delivered as a build pipeline of Azure DevOps?
Having the whole MCW experience available as a DevOps lab would actually make a lot of sense for a lot of people and will help promote good practices.
@DarqueWarrior thoughts ?

Cheers
Manu
