Instructor Notes for Creating Custom Hands-on Exercise Guides

Notes about Creating Custom Exercise Guides

• You can deliver any combination of:
o The LTM, DNS, ASM, and APM modules from the 3-day partner boot camp, and
o The Advanced ASM, AFM, and WebSafe modules from the 2-day security solutions boot camp.
o The ASM and AWAF lessons in the ASM / AWAF standalone course.
▪ You should always teach both Manual vs Automatic Policy Building, and Trusted vs
Untrusted Requests and Learning, Staging, and Enforcement lessons together.
o There are no exercise dependencies between the different modules.
• Be sure you are using the correct course in Ravello for the module(s) you are delivering.
