The course begins with an in-depth look at Linux's capabilities as a KVM host and guest, establishing a strong foundation in virtualization technology essential for modern cloud computing. Through hands-on examples, you'll learn how to efficiently set up and manage virtual machines, paving the way for more advanced cloud-based applications and services. Following this, the course delves into the practical steps for creating and configuring EC2 instances within Amazon Web Services (AWS), demonstrating the power and flexibility of cloud resources. You'll gain insights into selecting the right instance types for your projects, optimizing performance, and managing security settings to protect your cloud infrastructure. The journey continues with detailed instructions on deploying and fine-tuning Azure Virtual Machines (VMs). This section emphasizes the similarities and differences between Azure and AWS, equipping you with the knowledge to make informed decisions based on project requirements and cloud provider strengths. The course then shifts focus to containerization with Docker, highlighting Linux's role as both a host and a container platform. The course wraps up by reinforcing the learner's ability to navigate the complex landscape of cloud computing with Linux, from virtual machines to containerization.
