Теодор Златанов / Ted Zlatanov<p>I’m doing a company training on <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/saltstack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>saltstack</span></a> and am curious how others like to structure <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/configuration_management" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>configuration_management</span></a> trainings? Regardless of whether it’s <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ansible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ansible</span></a> or <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cfengine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cfengine</span></a> or <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/puppet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>puppet</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/chef" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chef</span></a> etc. I think there’s got to be some common paths people find easiest to follow.</p><p>Do you start with examples of the syntax or with the architecture or do a quick start CLI demo first? How quickly do you dig into writing “hello world” and what directions do you like to explore? What are the hard and the easy parts for you and for the students?</p>
