Proposed Changes

Attendee feedback from a recent Linux Automation 101 workshop:

VSCode linting - is not really helpful for the training session. In most cases it interferes with the student's steps, providing complicated input that has to be ignored to keep up with the content.

1.5, 1.6 both provide versions of system_setup.yml with 'Create a new user' with "" for the name.
When the user copy and pastes the contents, it fails immediately for the execution. 1.5 provides the changes needed for that task but comes after what should be a successful run, and doesn't explain that the 'Create a new user' task should be updated within system_setup.yml

1.6 The contents provided for system_setup.yml are expected to run successfully, but the create user task is broken.

1.4 - The 'Verify the user creation via:' step leaves the student hanging. The example or additional direction needs to show doing 'exit' to complete the setup.

1.6 Step 3 - Extra --- line in example

1.7 - The setup and use of collections is too complicated for its use in the workshop.
Most students will not understand why they are doing the steps, so it doesn't really educate them. It would be better to use the time to expand or add to the other sections.

1.8
Step 2 - unclear instruction to add the tasks to tasks/main.yml - in previous deploy_apache.yml ?
Step 3 - 'apache role' is not very clear

• need copy buttons next to text and code used in exercises
