Creating a Solliance University Lab

This repo has all the necessary items and details to create a Solliance University lab.

Lab Documentation

All lab steps should be in GitHub markdown language. The progress of the labs is driven by the masterdoc.json file. You can do whatever you like in the lab documents, just as long as you ensure you have created and point to the outline document in your lab template.

Lab Setup

Each lab will require the following items:

• Initial ARM template deployment file
• A parameters file
• A VM install script

Optionally, you can have a Policy and a custom RBAC file as well:

• policy.json
• rbac.json

Initial ARM template

The initial ARM template will allocate a virtual machine. It is within this virtual machine that you are expected to perform all the other setup required for the labs.

This is accomplished by executing the VM Install PowerShell script.

VM Install Script

This is where you will install any necessary items you may need into the VM and then deploy your main ARM template for your lab.

Spektra Setup

Once you have the ARM template and necessary lab documentation you can create a lab template and on-demand lab in Spektra.
