Description
Looking to learn Linux?
This course is aimed for beginners looking to dive into the Linux command line
We will be starting from the initial install and using a setup of VirtualBox and Vagrant, and you will leave having the fundamentals to continue on your learning journey.
Why learn Linux?
Over 90% of the public cloud workload operates on Linux. If you’re going to be working in anything cloud related, you will be touching Linux.
Even in our everyday lives, Linux comes into play. In fact, those google searches? They are made possible with Linux behind the scenes.
Why vagrant?
In the course, I am using MacOS, if you’re using Windows please use Git for Windows as this provides a Bash emulation.
This will align things as closely as possible to using Unix/Linux and will ensure you have an SSH Client.
This course is divided into the following sections
