Red Hat Device Edge Workshop - Trade Show Edition
This workshop focuses on providing a polished experience with Device Edge. Students will walk through creating an image, booting a device over the network, and deploying a workload to the device. This is a more “click-through” experience, in that students will spend less time configuring components, and more time interacting with devices, the workload, and optionally interacting with a scaled down industrial control system.

Presentations
The exercises are self explanatory and guide the participants through the entire lab. All concepts are explained as they are introduced.
Also, have a look at our Ansible Best Practices Deck: Ansible Best Practices
Time planning
The time required to do the workshops strongly depends on multiple factors: the number of participants, how familiar those are with Linux in general and how much discussions are done in between.
Having said that, this workshop is built to take roughly 4 hours.
