Coffee Crisis!

To make sure this tutorial isn’t super boring, imagine you are a new employee at Tango MegaCorp Inc. working in the DevOps team.

On your first day, your manager calls you into her office, with a worried expression on her face. She explains that the whole organisation’s productivity has dropped significantly in the last month. Luckily, they’ve figured out that the problem is a lack of coffee for the programmers. It’s a crisis! It just so happens that a month ago they replaced all the old coffee machines with shiny new MegaCorp DC3000 series drip coffee machines. It’s not going well - the machines are often empty or broken down, instead of having a pot of steaming brew ready at all times.

She says a control system has to be built to monitor these smart, but temperamental, coffee machines and keep the java flowing ☕☕☕. Of course, it has to be built using Tango Controls, and it has to be done right away!

With a mixture of nervousness and excitement you offer to tackle this urgent project and rush back to your office.
