prereq: provision Windows machines about docker-katas HOT 6 CLOSED

Not sure if the scripts should be in this repo or not, so I created a new repo with
terraform and packer scripts : https://github.com/Praqma/provision-win-docker
instructions are there too .. the packer build takes ~10 minutes, so should be done in advance.

from docker-katas.

We need :

Docker (There is an AWS ami you can use!)
and git bash instead of visual studio. (so only thing that needs to be put on top is git bash)

from docker-katas.

@meekrosoft I hope the git bash part is ok, otherwise I guess we can ship the machines with the binary for git bash and have them install it

@Sharor can you test this is sufficient for the training?

from docker-katas.

I will, just talked to Sofus about this :) @meekrosoft

@sami-alajrami I think its good to put it here - I failed to mention that I may have some disk requirements, since docker images for windows are,.. huge.

Im using a 50 gb disk right now, and its almost completely full from the examples I run.

Ill try to verify either today or tomorrow, and give you a shout 😉 Cheers dude and thanks for helping!

@Sharor this is where to set it :) https://github.com/Praqma/provision-win-docker/blob/aab56eadc0742c75db32fcb9c4378e885e48c06f/terraform/instances.tf#L10

Enable that line and specify the disk size you like for the VMs (default is 30GB I guess). I would say count 10GB for each image you might need to work with and some margin for docker to do temporary stuff.

It is also worth checking how many VMs you anticipate you need? The terraform script puts them in a VPC which is configured to have a block CIDR of 10.0.0.0/16 which gives you about 65534 IPs (VMs) in the VPC .. I hope this will be enough :D
