Those new to the Cloud and DevOps world often find it difficult to start their journey due to missing basic prerequisites. For example, issues with setting up a basic lab environment using VirtualBox, networking issues, or working with the Linux CLI or text editors like vi editor. Sometimes, it's issues with applications – like getting a sample application to work, getting the dependencies to install properly, or getting a webserver to communicate with a database server. Or at other times, it's working with data formats like JSON or YAML.
So we have identified a gap, and we believe that this is because some of the basic prerequisites are missing, such as knowing the basics of Linux, the basics of tools like VirtualBox, the basics of the most commonly used applications like Java, Python, NodeJS, or web servers like Apache, NGINX, etc.
As a DevOps or Cloud Engineer it is important to have these basics cleared. And that’s why we built this course to bridge that gap. With this course, anyone can kick start their DevOps or Cloud Journey. This is the course you must take before you start with any of the DevOps or Cloud courses out there. This course helps you get your basics right so the rest of the journey is smooth.
What are the prerequisites to attend this course?
- There are no pre-requisites for this pre-requisites course
- Good to have (Not Mandatory) a laptop to practice by yourself
In this module, participants gain insights into the fundamentals of DevOps and the importance of prerequisite knowledge in preparing for DevOps practices. Next, DevOps tools are introduced through a storytelling approach, setting the stage for subsequent modules.
The module then focuses on foundational knowledge and skills in Linux system administration. Participants learn essential Linux commands and gain proficiency in using the VI Editor through hands-on labs. Additionally, they explore package management principles and techniques for installing and managing software packages. The module also covers managing system services in a Linux environment, enabling participants to configure and manage services effectively.
