The "<TODO: Enter workshop name>" workshop is taught using the following components, which you will install and configure in the sections that follow.
(Note: TODO: Any notes you want.)
For this workshop, you will use Microsoft Windows as the base workstation, altough Apple and Linux operating systems can be used in production. You can download a Windows 10 Workstation Image for VirtualBox, Hyper-V, VMWare, or Parallels for free here.
The other requirements are:
- Microsoft Azure: This workshop uses the Microsoft Azure platform to host the Kubernetes cluster (using the Azure Kubernetes Service), and optionally you can deploy a system there to act as a workstation. You can use a free Azure account, an MSDN Account, your own account, or potentially one provided for you, as long as you can create about $100.00 (U.S.) worth of assets.
- TODO: Other Requirements - <TODO: Whatever else they need>.
Note that all following activities must be completed prior to class - there will not be time to perform these operations during the workshop.
Activity 1: Set up a Microsoft Azure Account
You have multiple options for setting up Microsoft Azure account to complete this workshop. You can use a free account, a Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) account, a personal or corporate account, or in some cases a pass may be provided by the instructor. (Note: for most classes, the MSDN account is best)
Unless you are explicitly told you will be provided an account by the instructor in the invitation to this workshop, you must have your Microsoft Azure account and Data Science Virutal Machine set up before you arrive at class.
Option 1 - Free Account
The free account gives you twelve months of time, and a limited amount of resources. Set this up prior to coming to class, and ensure you can access it from the system you will bring to the class.
NOTE: You can only use the Free subscription once, and it expires in 12 months. Set up your account and create the DSVM per the instructions below, but ensure that you turn off the VM in the Portal to ensure that you do no exceed the cost limits on this account. You will turn it off and on in the classroom per the instructor's directions.
Option 2 - Microsoft Developer Network Account (MSDN) Account
The best way to take this workshop is to use your Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) benefits if you have a subscription.
Option 3 - Use Your Own Account
You can also use your own account or one provided to you by your organization, but you must be able to create a resource group and create, start, and manage a Data Science Virtual Machine (DSVM) and an Azure AKS cluster.
Option 4 - Use an account provided by your instructor
Your workshop invitation may have instructed you that they will provide a Microsoft Azure account for you to use. If so, you will receive instructions that it will be provided.
Unless you received explicit instructions in your workshop invitations, you much create either a free, MSDN or Personal account. You must have an account prior to the workshop.
