Consider adding optional open-ended exercises to stories
We've gotten feedback that some of the stories were a bit hand-holdy. One possible fix would be to add more open-ended exercises/tasks to stories to encourage exploration.
Some ideas:
- Set up an additional network by adding another terraform template to the bbl state directory.
- Stop certain instance groups and see how functionality changes.
- What other ways are there to specify the
system_domain? - What's the difference between
--var-fileand--vars-file? - Use
bosh instances --psto understand what's happening on the VMs. - Explore logs on an instance group. (Maybe a separate story?)
- Trace a change from the manifest all the way to the rendered config template on the instance. (Maybe a separate story?)
- Anything specific for TPMs?
Sent an e-mail soliciting ideas
Main feedback was that our thoughts so far are very BOSH focused
- Blue/green deploy
- Deploy a "real app" with a data service
At this point I think this issue could be broken up into three new issues:
- Compile a list of "questions to prompt exploration" independent of existing stories
- Write one (or more) exploration stories that flesh out one of the more complex exploration options (I'm thinking especially of "blue/green deploy", where we'd probably want to offer some guidelines for how to monitor uptime)
- Review existing stories for opportunities to add exploration ideas. This could be pretty time-consuming, so it would be good to get some specifics about which stories would benefit the most from this
