+# Cisco Certified DevNet Expert Candidate Workstation (CWS)
+
+The CWS is the workstation on which one will test for the DevNet Expert lab.  This is an Ubuntu 20.04 image with development tools pre-installed.  It is intended to be a practice environment as one prepares to take the DevNet Expert lab exam.
+
+This directory contains the following node definition:
+
+* `cws.yaml` - Cisco Certified DevNet Expert Candidate Workstation
+
+## Image Availability
+
+Images for the CWS can be downloaded from the [Cisco Learning Network](https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/s/article/devnet-expert-equipment-and-software-list).  Be sure to download the qcow2 version.
+
+## Notes
+
+By default, the CWS uses 8 GB of memory and 4 vCPUs.  This can be tweaked.  It is known to run with 4 GB of memory.
+
+The CWS image exposes both serial and graphical (i.e., VNC) consoles.  However, the typical way one accesses this is to connect it to Bridge external connectivity and use an RDP client.  That will provide the most exam-like experience.
+
+The image is pre-configured to get an IP address via DHCP.  It does not support cloud-init day 0 configuration.
+
+By default, only one interface is allocated, but the image supports adding up to three more.

+This directory contains a node definition for the Palo Alto Virtual Edition appliance.

+Description
+This node definition provides for a BIGIP-VE node with four default ethernet interfaces and the ability to add up to 28. The node requires 4 vCPUs and 4 GB of RAM.

+This node does not provide a serial console. It uses VNC instead (though it's serial over VNC).

+Known Limitations
+You must use VNC to access this node's console. Serial console does not work.

+This node definition has been tested with v12 of the BIGIP software. It is assumed to work with all later versions as well. While the day 0 config part is in the node definition, it is known not to work with v12. It is believed the cloud-init support will work with v13 and higher of the BIGIP software, but that has not been tested.

+# Loading CWS Image Definitions
+
+In order to start CWS nodes, you need to get a qcow2 image from the [Cisco Learning Network](https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/s/article/devnet-expert-equipment-and-software-list).  
+
+An example image definition file is provided in this repository.  You cannot import image definitions, but you can use them as a guide.  Image
+definitions are fairly trivial.  Specify a name, ID, link it to the node definition, and then specify the uploaded .qcow2 file.  After that,
+the image will be available when you add the node from the lab pallet.
