Prerequisites

The technical exercises rely heavily on the use of standard software development and testing tools. These often require interaction with remote systems via the command line.

You are expected to have a working knowledge of:

• Linux system management tasks such as installing, configuring, and running standard services, especially on Ubuntu.

• Use of SSH to access remote machines.

• Source code management with git, specifically as implemented by GitHub.

• Docker: building and running containerized applications.

You should also be familiar with basic ideas behind continuous integration/delivery and the types of services used to implement them.

Some information concerning these topics can be found in the prerequisites section of the Hybrid Cloud training. You can also find plenty of good information on the web.
