Call for Volunteer Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)
The Linux Foundation (LF) is creating 1 ¼ day Tungsten Fabric training that will be offered as paid online and face-to-face courses. This is a call for SME volunteers to conduct train-the-trainer sessions with the team creating the training materials.

Introduction to Tungsten Fabric Lab - Pre-lab: Install TF & Kubernetes and make sure the services are up and running.
- Lab-1: Create and deploy a Kubernetes pod and make sure the Virtual Networks (vrouters/gateways) are configured so that the pod can be accessed.
- As part of this lab exercise, the pods will be created in k8s and the corresponding configurations will be defined in services yaml file.
- TF uses the configuration defined in the service yaml file and creates virtual networks.

| Committed to branch and under review by LF team |
TF & External Networks - Lab-3: Create and deploy a pod using Floating IP so that the pod can be accessed externally.
- This exercise could be combined with Lab-1 because the floating IPs are created automatically by TF upon deploying a service.
