This course is designed for absolute beginners who want to master the most important Linux commands used in DevOps and Cloud environments and it is completely free to enroll. Whether you are a student, aspiring DevOps or Cloud engineer, or someone preparing for technical interviews, this course will help you build the hands-on skills needed to work confidently with Linux systems.

We begin by launching an Ubuntu EC2 instance on AWS to give you real-world experience working in a cloud environment. Each module then focuses on practical Linux commands including file handling, user and permission management, software installation, system monitoring, and networking tools.

You’ll learn how to navigate the Linux terminal, manage files and directories, edit text using Vim and Nano, install and verify packages, monitor performance, and compress or extract files for backups and deployments.

The objective of this course is to provide a strong foundation in Linux from scratch, so you can support cloud-based systems, troubleshoot issues, and confidently step into DevOps workflows.

No prior Linux experience is required. If you're starting your journey in DevOps or Cloud computing, this course is your first step toward becoming job-ready.
