TX23 tutorial- From Zero to Orchestrated

[Christopher Cummings <>]

Hello folks! 

I hope that you are all as excited for the workshop as I am! Before we get going on the day of the workshop, I want to help minimize any day-of-getting-started-woes by giving a heads up as to what you'll need to get the most out of the workshop. If you can come ready with the following setup, you'll have a good leg up:

• The ability to download and run docker images—A Unix(ish) environment is best. MacOS or a Linux distribution of your choice will be the best option, but WSL should be acceptable as well.
  
• The ability to use docker compose (version 2). Follow the instructions here if you aren't familiar with this:

• https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/linux/
  

Make sure you have git installed on your machine you will be running the lab on.

For extra credit, I'd highly recommend that you do the following:

• Clone this repository to your local machine:
  

• https://github.com/workfloworchestrator/example-orchestrator-tnc
  

Familiarize yourself with the workshop structure:

• https://workfloworchestrator.org/orchestrator-core/workshops/advanced/overview/
  

Test that you can actually start the containers (this can take a while, so doing this in advance is very beneficial!) by following the installation steps of the workshop:

•  https://workfloworchestrator.org/orchestrator-core/workshops/advanced/docker-installation/#step-1-prepare-environment

Thanks again, I'm really looking forward to this! If you have any questions in advance of the workshop, come find me or send me an email, I'd be more than happy to help out.

Cheers!
