-## Overview
+At the end of the Hackathon you will understand Azure Monitor capabilities, facilitate an Azure Monitor conversation, and demo key features of Azure Monitor.
+
+The design proposed here is not a recommendation, it's for learning purposes only.
+
+> **Note**
+- If you fork this Repo, and updated it feel free to open a Pull Request, we'll add your name into the BIG THANK YOU LIST below :)
+- Please use **Firefox** when testing the eShop, wanna fix the bug? see above ;-)

-### This challenge-based Azure Monitoring workshop is intended to teach you how to monitor Azure workloads. During this day you will be working Azure Monitor, Log Analytics and Application Insights.
-
-## Outcome
+## Target Audience
 
-### Understand Azure Monitor capabilities, facilitate an Azure Monitor customer conversation, and demo key features of Azure Monitor.
+  
 
-## Target Audience
+This hackathon is designed specifically for DevOps engineers, administrators and IT architects who want to build their knowledge on Azure Monitor. However, anyone with a passion around Monitoring is more than welcome to attend.
 
-### This content has been targeted to PFE, MCS, and CSA roles intended to build their knowledge on Azure Monitor.  PTS and TSP that have a passion around Monitoring are more than welcome to attend.
+  
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
-### 1.	Please review the following docs before or during the event when necessary
-[Send Guest OS metrics to the Azure Monitor metric store](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/collect-custom-metrics-guestos-resource-manager-vm)
+We assume that you have a basic knowledge of Azure core services (e.g., networking, compute).
+
+
+
+## Initial design
+
+In the beginning of this hackathon, you will deploy an environment in Azure that consists of two Azure Resource Groups with different set of resources. These include the VNet, subnets, NSG(s), LB(s), NAT rules, scale set and a fully functional .NET Core Application (eShopOnWeb) to monitor, as you can see in the design below.
+
+
+

+
+
+## Initial Deployment
+The initial deployment will create the components shown in the architecture above and is the basis for the challenges in this hackathon.
+To deploy the components, please follow the steps in [this deployment section](deployment/README.md)

+## Cleaning Up
 
-### 2.	Attendees have access to an Azure Subscription where they can each deploy the provided ARM template that will build a very detailed infrastructure to monitor.  This includes the Vnet, subnets, NSG(s), LB(s), NAT rules, scales set and a fully functional .NET Core Application (eShopOnWeb) to monitor.
-### 3.	Attendees should have a level 200-300 understanding of the Azure platform.  Understand concepts like PowerShell, Azure Cli, ARM, resource groups, RBAC, network, storage, compute, scale sets, virtual machines and security.  Previous experience working with ARM templates is recommended.
-### 4.	Access to a machine with Visual Studio Code and the Azure PowerShell Modules loaded or Azure CLI. VS Code ARM and PowerShell extensions should be configured.
+If you're done and would like to delete the Azure resources associated with this hackathon, please perform the following steps:
