## Tutorial sessions

The CernVM-FS tutorial at EUM'21 is spread over four days (Tue-Fri Jan 26-29 2021).

Each day, there will be a ~1h live session where we will cover (and demo) specific aspects of CernVM-FS, at 09:00 UTC.

## Tutorial website

The CernVM-FS tutorial is available at https://cvmfs-contrib.github.io/cvmfs-tutorial-2021/ .

In the first tutorial session, we'll cover parts 0-2.
The other 3 parts will be covered on Wed-Fri, one per day.

## Recordings on YouTube

The tutorial sessions will be recorded and made available via the EasyBuild YouTube channel shortly after, so even if you're in a different time zone you should be able to follow the tutorial, with a small delay.

A YouTube playlist collecting the tutorial sessions is available at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhnGtSmEGEQg8fY5t6nfjxGOYTfueDHwM .

## Hands-on

At the end of the first 3 sessions an exercise is included so you can get some hands-on experience with CernVM-FS.

We hope that you'll find some time to work on the exercise after watching the live session. We estimate that solving the exercise should not take more than 1 hour.

During Tue-Fri Jan 26-29 2021, resources are available in Microsoft Azure (sponsored by Microsoft) which you can use to solve the exercises.

We will guide you through the practical aspects of using these resources during the first tutorial session.

## Credentials for CycleCloud

To get access to the resources in Microsoft Azure (via CycleCloud), you will need the following credentials:

user name: {{user_name}}
password: {{password}}

These credentials are *personal*, please don't share them with anyone!

## Support

We will try to make time available for answering questions after each live sessions (via the Zoom breakout room, if needed).

Throughout the day, support for the hands-on will be provided via the #eum21-cvmfs-tutorial channel on the EasyBuild Slack (https://easybuild.slack.com/archives/C01KFR7MPE1).

To join the EasyBuild Slack, register via https://easybuild-slack.herokuapp.com/ .

If needed, we can set up an additional Zoom call to answer questions or provide more hands-on help (time permitting).

## Questions

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out via [e-mail], or via the EasyBuild Slack, preferably in the #eum21-cvmfs-tutorial channel.

regards,

the CernVM-FS tutorial organisers
