Before You Arrive
Read and follow the preparation instructions:
We use VMs hosted on Amazon Web Services - these will be available the day of the class, so there is nothing you need download ahead of time.
Please note that the training requires you to bring a laptop.
You will need to have an SSH client plus the browser of your choice.
- If you are on Windows, PuTTY works well: https://www.putty.org/
- macOS and Linux should already have what you need out of the box.
The training makes use of Virtual Machines (VMs), in this case derived from Amazon Marketplace Images (AMI) loaded on Amazon Web Services. The training team will provide access instructions when you arrive for the first day of the training.
Your VM will be available during the training and for two weeks after the training. After two weeks, the VM will no longer exist, so be sure to save anything you need within two weeks of the end of the training.
