[jira] [Commented] (AURORA-1164) Interactive web-based Aurora CLI tutorial

["Christopher Snell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-1164?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14535429#comment-14535429 ] 

Christopher Snell commented on AURORA-1164:
-------------------------------------------

As someone who is still new to Aurora, I'd love to see an interactive tutorial that includes lessons on the .aurora configuration files.   Personally, I found the 'aurora' CLI tool quite easy to learn (aside from the CLUSTER/ROLE/ENV/NAME syntax, which was new and felt goofy to me).  The .aurora files, on the other hand, took a lot more time to learn.   Perhaps some kind of side-by-side view where one pane holds a command-line and the CLI tool, and the other side holds a configuration file with interactive instructions (think arrows/highlighting pointing to key sections) that help you learn its functionality.

Thanks for taking this on!

> To make Aurora easier to understand, it would be great to have an interactive online tutorial, preferably one that helps you understand the Aurora CLI and value of Aurora without having to spin up a vagrant box. I've seen what Docker has developed to get folks started (https://www.docker.com/tryit/), and it seems like something that would be hugely beneficial to replicate in some way.
> Unfortunately, the web-based terminal library that Docker uses is licensed under GPL, but there seem to be a variety of MIT, BSD, and Apachev2 licensed libraries that may help someone who takes this on.
> I've created a similar issue for Mesos (MESOS-2445) -- if they get to this first, perhaps we can reuse their code.
