Workshop pre-work

Prep for your upcoming F5/NGINX workshop

If you're here that probably means you are currently in, or registered for, an upcoming NGINX workshop. By taking the time to run through this exercise you are helping us save time during the workshop and ensure that you meet the prerequisites to access the workshop. We appreciate you taking time to check your access.

Step 0: If this is your first time in a Workshop

Look for an email from [email protected]. This will have instructions on how you can login into UDF(F5 workshop environment). Ultra Super Important Invite email

If you cannot find your invite email ("UDF Course Registration:NGINXperts Lab ...") STOP

  • These commonly get caught by spam filters. Make sure to check your spam folder and your system's email Quarantine.

  • If you still cannot find your invite email, you either have not been invited to a workshop or we have an incorrect email. Please get help from whoever sent you to this page.

Step 1: Get yourself to UDF

  • Navigate to https://udf.f5.com/ and select Invited Users Non F5

  • If this is your first time using UDF, use the Sign Up link which would take your to F5 registration page.

    NOTE: this will not be the password to the Ubuntu Desktop or other VMs in the class! Sign up

  • Once you have filled in your registration details, you should be receiving an Account Activation email as shown below Account Activation Email

  • When you click on the Activate Account button within the activation email, you would be redirected to setup 2 factor authentication as shown below. Select your preferred authentication method. 2factor Authentication prompt

  • Once you have set up 2 factor authentication successfully, you will see a green checkmark on your preferred method. Click on Finish. 2factor Confirmation

  • If you already have an account but you can't remember your password, simply reset your password by clicking on Forgot Password? link. Non F5

Step 2: Start the course

  • Once logged into UDF, click Launch (This will open a new tab.) Non F5

  • And then click on Join Non F5

  • Click the DEPLOYMENT tab at the top Non F5

Step 3: RDP to the Jumpbox

  • username: ubuntu
  • password: Nginx123

THIS REQUIRES AN RDP CLIENT! If you have a Mac and haven't downloaded an RDP client before, here is the first-party version:

Microsoft's RDP client on the Apple Apps Store

  • Now you just have to wait for the Ubuntu Desktop to finish booting. . . Non F5

  • Make sure to select a small enough resolution to see the whole screen. Non F5

  • Once you select the resolution, your browser will download an rdp file. Open this file to connect to Ubuntu Desktop.

  • Accept the self-signed cert, and Ubuntu Desktop username and password will be ubuntu and Nginx123.

    (NOTE: This is not your UDF login username & password.)

    Non F5

If you can't connect to the Ubuntu Desktop, remember to shut off your VPN, or join a non-proxied network (sometimes a guest network in the office will work)

For machines running Windows and attached to a domain, Windows will helpfully attempt to use your domain creds to log in, and you'll see:

Non F5

Click "More choices" to enter both a username and a password

Non F5

That wraps the pre-requisites.
