Using the Linux workstation, you will use terminal window to connect to instances, edit files, navigate in Linux filesystems, add and manage users, manage LVM storage devices and services using systemctl, locate, read and monitor log files, write basic shell scripts, know simple iptables configurations.
Your instructor will setup an AWS account for you. Once the account is setup, you will receive an email from AWS and be provided with $100 credit to complete all labs and assignments for this course. These credits are more than enough and is your responsibility to manage this. This limit cannot be increased by AWS or your instructor. Credits will get used much faster if you are careless with how you use the cloud-based AWS instances.
== Workstation setup ==
Use VMWare Workstation Pro to setup your Linux workstation on 240GB SSD drive. Do not configure nested virtual machines environment as in OSL740. You will waste unnecessary time if you configure nested virtual machines. Do not use previously configured Linux workstation or nested VMs from earlier course(s). Setup your workstation using Centos 7 or Linux Mint and name your workstation OSL840_hostsenecauserid_c7host. Do not configure nested virtual machines environment as in OSL740. You will waste unnecessary time if you configure nested virtual machines. Make sure you create a regular user with your senecausername once installation is complete.
