Terraform Documentation

PacketFabric developed a Terraform provider. I wrote the general/intro documentation as well as helped document the schema for the resources.

TOOLS: Markdown, tfplugindocs

Hardware Requirements Selection Tool

Before I built this tool, we were maintaining a 36-page Word file with hardware specifications. When a customer requested a quote for their specific environment, an engineer would create a copy of the Word file and customize it accordingly.

This selection tool serves two purposes: 1) to provide information in a user-friendly way, and 2) as a tool to generate professional, customized PDFs that can be delivered to customers.

NOTE: In this demo version, all internal information, including product names, has been altered.

TOOLS: MindTouch, jsPDF, jsPDF-AutoTable, and multiselect.js

Template Customization

This is a thorough, but very, very informal guide I put together for the writers on my team. I had created templates linked to their user IDs, which would allow them to create their own custom tools and CSS to use in our CMS.

I have the PDF available here, but due to the formatting, it is more readable on the live page.

PowerShell Helper Script

These are instructions on how to run a script I wrote. The script is for the other tech writers on my team, and its purpose is to help automate some localization tasks we had to complete at every release.

Community Forum Support

I would often spend time in the customer forums to get a better sense of what our users were struggling with, and whether the documentation could assist. When possible, I would also provide direct support.
