Requirements

To get the most out of this course, you should have basic computer skills and be comfortable with command-line tools

Hardware level:

• Each participant must have their own machine.
• Being an administrator of the machine is a plus, but not required.
• It must be equipped with a Linux-like terminal. The operating system can therefore be Windows or MacOS, the main thing being that BASH commands can be executed.
• Docker and Docker Compose must be installed for the lab.
• Python and a recent version of Ansible must be installed on the machine first.
• More detailed instructions on prerequisites are provided to attendees once the session is scheduled
