http://localhost:8080/gitops_flux/1.setup/index.html The instructions for this lab are found here: https://neighborly-creator.azurewebsites.us/gitops_flux In this lab we’ll get connected to the lab environment and walk through the premise for the workshop. This is typically the hardest part of the workshop, if we can make it through this then it’s all smooth sailing! How it works The lab is in a private enclave which is not directly accessible over the internet. Workshop attendees are able to connect to specific services using a secure proxy with access controlled by Azure Active Directory.
