Work thru the flows of using a service and developing a service using the UI as much as possible #272

We recently had some people at Ford trying to do this and ran into problems (see dave for the details). But it made me realize that i'm not sure anyone on our dev team has really worked thru the flows trying to use the UI for as much as possible. I'm pretty sure Ford won't be the only one to try this. Specifically, work thru these scenarios:

  1. Using the hello world service:
    • Explore UI
    • Find hello world service and pattern in UI
    • Click on Create node, and follow instructions on that page
    • Use Node overview page to follow the progress of the node coming online and running the service
  2. Creating your own hello world service (equivalent to this):
    • Click on Create service, and follow instructions on that page
    • View your new service in the UI
    • Create a pattern for that service in the UI
    • Change your node to use your new pattern (how do they know how to do this?)
    • Use Node overview page to follow the progress of the node coming online and running the service

Keep a list of pitfalls you fell into and suggestions for fixes/improvements to UI, documentation, cmds, etc.
