Part 2: Attendees will connect to a pool of cloud VMs provided by the workshop organisers and will need to have their own laptop with SSH command-line access running Windows, Mac OSX or Linux (or a tablet with an SSH client for the really brave). Participants who are not technically oriented will be encouraged to pair with others in order to work through the hands on activities and gain an understanding of the simplicity of ReDBox configuration.
