Learning outcomesīy the end of this tutorial, you will know how to do all of these amazing tasks… Then, we’re going to wrap all of this in some automation, so that we can perform the same action repeatedly. We’re going to create a Linux virtual machine and configure a web server inside it. You want some hands-on experience with infrastructure, as a springboard for further learning Advertisements You want to try out creating a virtual machine You’ve never used Linux (or you just want some hands-on practice to use your skills) This tutorial is designed to get your hands dirty with virtual machines and Linux! It’ll give you a chance to build something real, and learn a few cool tricks along the way. You should be able to complete this tutorial in under a couple of hours. So how do you get some practice?
