Preparing Our Lab Environment
In this course, we are going configure our lab environment for hands-on practice. We are going to use a virtual machine. This virtual machine can be installed on a Hypervisor like VMWare Workstation, Oracle Virtual Box. It could also be a cloud server hosted in Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or in any other cloud provider. For the purpose of this training, we will be using VMWare Workstation PRO as our hypervisor. The main computer system for hands-on learning activities is workstation. Students also use two other machines for these activities: servera and serverb. All three systems are in the lab.uta.com DNS domain. All student computer systems have a standard user account, student, which has the password student. The root password on all student systems is redhat.
