Linux for beginners with Hands-on Labs

Why You Should Learn Linux As per Stack overflow’s insights, the most common and the most loved platform happens to be Linux. If you do a quick search online on Linux you’ll see some interesting statistics. All of the fastest 500 supercomputers in the world run on Linux. 96.3 percent of the top 1 million web servers run on Linux. And 86% of all smartphones are powered by Linux. In the cloud and DevOps world, many of the new tools are developed and used in Linux environments first before they are made available on Windows. For example, containerization tools like Docker were only available on Linux-based systems for many years before being supported on Windows platforms. Similarly, automation tools like Ansible are required to be installed in a Linux environment. Even though Ansible can manage Windows systems as target machines, a Linux system is required to be the Ansible controller. Learn Linux to Further Your DevOps Career The demand for DevOps and Cloud engineers is growing exponentially with each passing year. Every new job position now requires having knowledge of at least a few DevOps tools and at least one of the major cloud providers. As more and more organizations are adopting Devops and running their workloads in the cloud, fundamental understanding of Linux is a must. Especially if you have been working in a windows dominated environment.
