+Setup
+=====

+- Use a linux desktop on the controls dev network.
+- log into the K8S dashboard at https://pollux-dashboard.diamond.ac.uk
+- open pods in namespace p47-iocs
+- make sure there are 4 iocs and a opi pod running
+- clone the bl47p repo [email protected]:epics-containers/bl47p.git
+- have a terminal open with
+  - source /dls_sw/work/python3/ec-venv/bin/activate
+  - cd bl47p
+  - source environment.sh
+- get the P47 edm gui up with **super** p47
+- make sure bl47p-ea-dcam-01 is deployed with a beta tag and that the PVA plugin is missing. When you deploy a tagged version - make sure it is 2024.1.5 which also has PVA missing

+Intro
+=====
+
+So, a few of us have been working on containersing EPICS IOCS and managing them
+in Kubernetes for a while. Today I'm going to show you what working with your
+beamline IOCs might look like in this new world.
+
+Instead of just diving into technical detail, I'm going to do a live demo and
+then show you where you can find all the documentation to get more info.
+
+We will be looking at the training rig beamline P47.
+This beamline is running all its IOCs in Kubernetes, it has two
+motors, two GigE cameras and a Panda Box.
+
+
+Steps
+=====
+
+- ec --help
+- ec ioc --help
+- ec ps
+- **you can learn about the underlying commands that ec is using with -v**
+- ec -v ps
+- **which beamline am I talking to?**
+- ec env
+- **show the iocs in the repo*
+- ec ioc list
+- **oh no we have a beta dcam-01 !**
+- ec ioc instances bl47p-ea-dcam-01
+  - **show tab completion for above**
+- ec ioc deploy bl47p-ea-dcam-01 2024.1.5
+  - **show tab completion for above**
+- **show the pods in kubernetes**
+- **try to demo PVA viewwe but the plugin is missing from the IOC !**
+- **show that the two cams are the same image - show their config maps**
+- **edit iocs/bl47p-ea-dcam-01/config/bl47p-ea-dcam-01.yaml on the fly and add PVA plugin - showing schema auto completion**
+- **also describe the beamline repo as you go**
+- ec deploy-local iocs/bl47p-ea-dcam-01
+- c2dv --pv BL47P-EA-DET-01:TX:PVA &
+  - **show the image and some movement**
+- **now we have a working version we should release it**
+- git add .
+- git commit -m'fixed PVA in dcam 01'
+- git push
+- git tag
+- git tag 2024.1.next-number
+- ec ioc deploy bl47p-ea-dcam-01 2024.1.next-number
+- **show that PVA is there in this version**
+- **show that Dashboard is registering the new version**
+- **note that no code changes or recompilation happened to make this work**
+
+Now show the Panda GUI
+======================
+
+Show the service and the bob files.
+Keep the sample cam running
+
+- phoebus.sh -resource http://172.23.168.180/bl47p-ea-panda-01/index.bob
+- Go to TTLOUT2 and set it to ZERO to "close" the "Shutter"
+- See the light go out on the Sample Cam
