Docker on Azure Hands-On Lab - Docker to Helm

Prerequisites

Needless to say you'll need a laptop! Any OS is fine (Mac is recommended and that's the only machine we've tested on) but make sure the following prerequisites are met prior to the session:

Prerequisite 1: Git is installed
Prerequisite 2: A valid Azure subscription is available. You can get a trial account from https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/.
Prerequisite 3: The az CLI from https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli is installed on the laptop OR you can use the cloud shell as outlined in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/overview
Prerequisite 4: Limits in Azure are set low. File support tickets to get the limits bumped up for your subscriptions. We will need cores (60-100 recommended) to be spun up in West UK which supports some of the configurations.
Prerequisite 5: A familiarity with the Azure portal and the CLI (attended a 1-day Azure course for instance).
Prerequisite 6: A Docker Hub account from https://hub.docker.com/. This is optional if you're OK skipping portions of a few exercises.
Prerequisite 7: The labs from https://github.com/ragsns/dockeronazure.git installed locally either via a git clone command or by downloading a zip file from the remote repository.

Samples and General Directions

Each directory is in a separate sub-directory. Ensure that you're in the sub-directory when you're working on a particular exercise and you're issuing the CLI commands from the subdirectory pertaining to the exercise.
