Before starting this workshop there are a few things you want to have installed and set up. Please work through the list of items and have everything set up before we start the workshop. The Ansible and Terraform setup are optional if you use the pre-built Ubuntu VM's. If your main system is Windows though the Ubuntu VM is not optional. If you use Linux or macOS and you don't want to run a VM you can follow the guides on installing Ansible and Terraform.
<aside> 💡 For the sake of simplicity, I will assume you are using the Ubuntu VM in the labs.

<aside> â›” We will be using Digital Ocean for these labs. Digital Ocean is NOT free, but they are very cheap. If you use Digital Ocean for the labs for 24 hrs the total cost will be less than $1
