NGINX Mastery

Install VirtualBox and Vagrant on Linux, Windows, and macOS using apt commands on Ubuntu or standard installers; verify installations with VirtualBox and vagrant --version, and reboot when required.

Learn the basics of using vagrant to manage a single vm, including boxes, power control, suspend and resume, and host-vm integration with port forwarding, folder mapping, and networking.

Initialize a vagrant project with a named base box, download it from vagrant cloud if missing, and generate a vagrant file to define virtual machine settings, provisioning, and synchronized folders.

Learn to manage vagrant boxes with vagrant box sub commands, list and remove, while vagrant up handles downloads, networking, port forwarding, shared folders, and provisioning with Puppet or Ansible.

Destroy and recreate vagrant environments from a base box configuration file and provisioning files, then connect via vagrant ssh, configure port forwarding and synced folders, and apply provisioning tools.

Learn to manage Vagrant boxes with add, list, outdated, update, remove, and status commands, using name, force, clean, and provider flags, plus global status to view all boxes.

Learn to work with multiple virtual machines in a single Vagrant project to test distributed architectures locally, configuring distinct names, IPs, base boxes, provisioning, and shared folders.

Define and connect to multiple virtual machines with Vagrant by configuring per-VM settings, naming each VM, and using SSH port mappings to access them from the host.

Configure and run two Vagrant virtual machines on a private network with predefined IP addresses, enabling direct machine-to-machine communication and conflict-free networking through Vagrant networking options.

Set up and manage a multi-VM lab using vagrant and VirtualBox, configure with Ansible, provision ubuntu vms, verify connectivity, and control via vagrant commands and port forwarding.

Discover Git as a distributed version control system that tracks project history and enables offline work for collaborative teams. Understand Git vs. GitHub and prepare for installation and first commands.

Learn to install git on Ubuntu, Windows, or macOS, verify the installation with git --version, use git bash, and set global configuration settings for your workflows.

Explore global git configuration by setting your user name and email, enabling color output, and editing the .gitconfig file, then verify with git config --list.

Create and initialize a git repository in a project directory, track changes with git status and git add, commit with messages, and copy files to a remote repository for collaboration.

Create a remote GitHub repository and push your local project by configuring origin and using git push -u origin master.

Learn how to clone a remote repository with git clone, create and modify files, add and commit changes, and push or pull updates with origin master.

Configure the dot git ignore file in the repository root to prevent git from tracking files you don't want tracked. Add items and commit them, and verify with git status.

Learn essential git commands for tracking changes, viewing diffs, staging, and committing, and explore history with git log and git show using short commit hashes.

Learn to create and switch branches in git, manage remote and local branches, rename branches, and safely delete them using commands like git branch and git checkout.

Create and configure an IIS website on a nano server using PowerShell, set binding to port 80, and verify with Get-Website after importing WebAdministration.

Master the basics of PowerShell, navigate directories, use aliases and common cmdlets, explore pipelines and variables, and access help and command discovery for script creation.

Explore WMI and CIM as DMTF standards, compare WMI and CIM implementations, and note WMI repository access, PowerShell support, and remote management capabilities.
