-### Git Guidelines
+### Provide Feedback on a Lab Exercise
 
-- Keep a clean, concise and meaningful git commit history on your branch (within reason), rebasing locally and squashing before submitting a PR.
-- If possible and/or relevant, use the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) format when writing a commit message, so that changelogs can be automatically generated
-- Follow the guidelines of writing a good commit message as described here <https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/> and summarised in the next few points:
-  - In the subject line, use the present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature").
-  - In the subject line, use the imperative mood ("Move cursor to..." not "Moves cursor to...").
-  - Limit the subject line to 72 characters or less.
-  - Reference issues and pull requests liberally after the subject line.
-  - Add more detailed description in the body of the git message (`git commit -a` to give you more space and time in your text editor to write a good message instead of `git commit -am`).
+To send us feedback, please create an issue on GitHub with the label `feedback` using the available feedback template.

-# NGINX Template Repository
+![](labs/media/nginx-azure-icon.png)
 
-## What is included on this template?
+<br/>
 
-This template includes all the scaffolding you need to get started on an OSS repository that meets the required NGINX criteria:
+This Repo is for learning **`NGINX as a Service in Azure`**, with Instructor Lead and Hands-on Lab Exercises and Lab Guides that will teach a student using real world scenarios for using NGINX in front of Azure Resources.
 
-- [Apache License 2.0](https://github.com/nginxinc/template-repository/blob/main/LICENSE) (required for all NGINX OSS projects)
-- [`.gitignore`](https://github.com/nginxinc/template-repository/blob/main/.gitignore) with some minimal sensible defaults
-- [Issue](https://github.com/nginxinc/template-repository/blob/main/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE) and [PR](https://github.com/nginxinc/template-repository/blob/main/pull_request_template.md) templates
-- [Contributing](https://github.com/nginxinc/template-repository/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) guidelines
-- [Support](https://github.com/nginxinc/template-repository/blob/main/SUPPORT.md) guidelines for either community and/or commercial support
-- [Security](https://github.com/nginxinc/template-repository/blob/main/SECURITY.md) guidelines for reporting major vulnerabilities
-- [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/nginxinc/template-repository/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)
-- Open Source Security Foundation (OSSF) Scorecard [(implemented via a GitHub Action)](https://github.com/nginxinc/template-repository/blob/main/.github/workflows/ossf_scorecard.yml)
-- [README](https://github.com/nginxinc/template-repository/blob/main/README.md) placeholder. How you structure the README is up to you (although the template provides placeholder sections), but you will need to include:
-  - A [repostatus](https://www.repostatus.org/) badge
-  - An OSSF Scorecard badge. (Optional -- Some projects will by their nature have low scores. In such a case you might want to remove this badge!)
-  - A community and/or commercial support badge. Include the latter -- and replace the commented out badge/URL placeholder with the relevant support URL -- if this repository contains a commercially supported project. You can find a commented out example below the community badge in this README.
-  - A contributor covenant/code of conduct badge. (Optional -- If you already have multiple badges and want to reduce clutter, simply including the actual code of conduct is enough!)
-  - An explicit link back to the [Apache License 2.0](https://github.com/nginxinc/template-repository/blob/main/LICENSE)
-  - An up to date copyright notice
-- [Changelog](https://github.com/nginxinc/template-repository/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) placeholder. (Optional -- A changelog is recommended, but it is not required and can diverge in format from the placeholder here included.)
-- [Codeowners](https://github.com/nginxinc/template-repository/blob/main/.github/CODEOWNERS) placeholder. (Optional -- Codeowners is a useful feature, but not all repositories require them.)
+<br>
 
-**Note:** If you created a public repository before this template became available (or you didn't know about it's existence), please include any missing files found here in your repository. There is no need if you have a private repository, but we still recommend you include all of the above scaffolding should the repository ever become public.
+**This is an Advanced, 300 Level Workshop.**
 
-## How do I use this template?
+## Audience
 
-**DO NOT FORK** -- this template is meant to be used from the **[`Use this template`](https://github.com/nginxinc/template-repository/generate)** feature.
+This Workshop is meant for Cloud and Application Architects, Modern Application Developers, DevOps, Platform Ops, and SRE engineers working with NGINX, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes and Ingress Controllers, to learn and understand how NGINX for Azure works - how it is configured, deployed, monitored and managed.  Using various Azure Resources like VMs, containers, AKS Clusters, and Azure networking, you will deploy real applications for external access using Nginx for Azure.
 
-1. Click on **[`Use this template`](https://github.com/nginxinc/template-repository/generate)**
-2. Give a name to your project
-3. Wait until the first run of CI finishes (GitHub Actions will process the template and commit to your new repo)
-4. Clone your new project and tweak any of the placeholders if necessary. Pay special attention to the README!
-5. Happy coding!
+`The Student taking this Advanced Workshop must have intermediate skills and knowledge with the following:`
 
-**NOTE**: **WAIT** until the first CI run on GitHub Actions finishes before cloning your new project.
+- Azure Cloud, Portal and Azure CLI
+- NGINX Webserver, Reverse Proxy, Load Balancing
+- NGINX Ingress Controller

+<br/>
+
+To meet the Prerequisite skills requirement, there are other Workshops from Nginx and Azure Learning to help you prepare.  The student must have completed the previous two Nginx Workshops, prior to taking this workshop. (Or have equivalent knowledge).  
+
+- Nginx Basics Workshop - 101 (https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-basics-workshops/tree/master/labs)
+- Nginx Plus Ingress Workshop - 201 (https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-ingress-workshops/tree/main/Plus/labs)
+- Azure Portal and AzureCLI training from Microsoft Learn (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/azure/)
+
+See [Lab0 Readme](/labs/lab0/readme.md) for the Hardware/Software and Skills Prerequisites for taking this Workshop and completing the Lab Exercises.
+
+<br/>
 
 ## Getting Started
 
-Duis sit amet sapien vel velit ornare vulputate. Nulla rutrum euismod risus ac efficitur. Curabitur in sagittis elit, a semper leo. Suspendisse malesuada aliquam velit, eu suscipit lorem vehicula at. Proin turpis lacus, semper in placerat in, accumsan non ipsum. Cras euismod, elit eget pretium laoreet, tortor nulla finibus tortor, nec hendrerit elit turpis ut eros. Quisque congue nisi id mauris molestie, eu condimentum dolor rutrum. Nullam eleifend elit ac lobortis tristique. Pellentesque nec tellus non mauris aliquet commodo a eu elit. Ut at feugiat metus, at tristique mauris. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia curae;
+Review the Github Repo content for the Nginx Basics and Nginx Plus Ingress Workshops.  If you have taken these Workshops, and understand the content, you can successfully complete the Lab exercises in this Nginx for Azure Workshop.  It is HIGHLY recommended that you complete the 101 and 201 Workshops prior.  
+
+It is HIGHLY recommended that you complete Azure Training from http://learn.microsoft.com, so you are familiar with Azure Portal, menus, and various resources and components.
+
+It will take approximately 4 hours to complete the Nginx for Azure Workshop.
+
