Workshops and demos
Tips
When organizing an Ansible workshop or giving a demo, there are a couple of things to consider:
- Be prepared!
- Do you need an internet connection?
- Do you really need an internet connection?
- Can you do without an internet connection?
- What is the level of the audience?
- Keep the audience interested, you lose them all too quickly.
- Communicate what is needed to attend the workshop (laptop, etc.)
As you can see I'm rather hammering on the presence or absence of an internet connection. Always be prepared for a not working or not performing internet connection. I have seen the most crappy connections with a throughput nearing 0.0bps being advertised as 'Broadband Internet Connection'. Do not depend on the connection being up and running.
Starting points
Ansible provides a good starting project for basic Ansible workshops called Project Lightbulb:
For those planning to give the workshop and are developing their own, some starting points:
- https://github.com/ansible-provisioning/workshop-provisioning
- https://github.com/bbaassssiiee/vagransible
When you are planning to give a live demo, during a presentation, make sure that you are self-supporting.
