This course provides a introduction to Linux commands for complete beginners. The material is clearly presented and helps build basic understanding of core concepts. While it does not go very deep, it works well as a quick starting point for those who have no prior experience with Linux.

the course is very basic to learn Linux commands. It is not focused on the needs of any Cloud provider.

If you don’t have any experience using Linux commands then this course will help you understand enough to get going using an EC2 on AWS. This course will not tell you how to setup the EC2 itself but it does go over the type of commands that you will need to deploy a HTML website using NGINX on an EC2. The course contains some theory but not too much as it tries to focus more on the commands. As there are no included notes, you will need to make your own which will also help your own muscle memory. There is a slight audio issue (as of 9 July 2023) at the end of lesson 6 which affects the volume so hopefully this will get recorded again.
