Introduction
Hello all,
I am Rahul and I am a DevOps enthusiast. Today I commenced my DevOps journey with Linux, an operating system just like windows or macOS.An operating system (OS) is the underlying mechanism which helps you interact with your computer and run programs.
Brief Overview of Linux
Linux is an OpenSource OS, which means anyone can look, change and share its code. It comes in different versions called distributions and Each one has its own features and looks. Linux users use CLI(Command Line interface) or Terminal to type commands instead of clicking buttons. Linux is most popular for its safety and reliability.
- Example: Ubuntu, Fedora
Importance of Linux in today's tech Landscape

Purpose of the article
I want to share my learnings and experiences of my DevOps journey and I am very enthusiastic to Kickoff this exciting feat. Linux has been the fundamental concept in the realm of DevOps and it has become a prerequisite for my DevOps Career. I’ll keep updating every two days about my DevOps journey. Thanks for reading up on this.
Getting Started with Linux
Linux has different types of Distros as I previously explained, I am starting my journey through Ubuntu flavour.So, let us understand what is a Ubuntu !!
Ubuntu
Ubuntu is a Beginner-friendly Linux Distribution known for its security and Stability.It offers a wide range of software applications and tools, which are readily available through its software center.
How did i start
Ive Chosen a different path where instead of downloading the Ubuntu seperately,i ve runned the ubuntu in a AWS Ec2 instance,where i learnt to make the folders,files,root and other basic functions.Today has been my beginning day so i just kept my progress only upto file copying.Make sure to be updated for now updates.\
Conclusion
In conclusion, embarking on this DevOps journey has been an enlightening experience, especially with Linux as the cornerstone of my learning process.By running Ubuntu on an AWS EC2 instance, I have gained hands-on experience in managing virtual environments, which is crucial for any DevOps professional. This approach allowed me to explore the creation and management of directories, files, and root access, which are fundamental skills in Linux.
