1. Log OnIf you don’t have a login, you may request one by opening a support ticket – see support section
2. Run Standard Demo or Your Own Ad-HocPreferred use of CloudShell Live is to give Standard Demos. Ad-Hoc demos should be given on an as-needed basis.
3. Be Nice (See “Learning to Share”)
Using CloudShell Live

1) Check the reservations
2) Verify no one has reserved the demo environment you need. A. Attempt to resolve with the user.B. Escalate with technical supervisor
3) Create an empty “reservation window”A. Create a New, Empty Reservation, for
the duration you needB. Then Rename it with environment you
need + your nameC. Then Reserve the real environment
during the time when you need it.
Sharing and Reservation Process

Example of “Hans” reserving DMVPN-Single:
This enables you to show setup automation and start/stop your environment reservation during this “window” of time.
“Reservation Window” Example
No environment linked
Name of environment needed + Your name
Scheduled for future
“Window” of time environment is needed

Note that, if you only need to show a quick reservation, you may use the normal process of reserving the environment directly.
In this case, please limit reservations to 1 HR or less!
Normal Reservations

Always Do a Dry Run!- Especially for high profile demos- Practice your script- Verify demo completes end-to-end
with no errors- Practice any custom flows you
want to add
Don’t modify existing environments
- Create a private copy
End Demo ASAP
Other Best Practices

OverviewThe IaaS demo is a suite of demonstrations showing how CloudShell can be used as a self-service portal for serving up VMs and Applications. This demonstration should show that we can support spinning up individual VM instances, environments with multiple instances, as well as customized and user built VM environments in public or private clouds like AWS, Openstack, vSphere.
An important concept this demo will also emphasize is how effective our “reserve, use, collaborate, reclaim” provisioning model is at managing and limiting VM creep.
Purpose- Show provisioning of virtual instances
- Show provisioning of multi-vm environments
- Show self-service customization of VM configurations
- Show tracking / reporting of VM usage
Target Customers- Enterprise customers managing VM resources
- IT Administrators
- DevOps teams
