Package Managers

Part of the Cloud Computing Roadmap

In short

Tools for installing, updating and removing software on Linux — apt on Debian/Ubuntu-based systems, yum/dnf on RHEL/CentOS-based systems — a core skill for configuring any cloud VM.

How to learn this

  1. 1Practice installing, updating, and removing a package using your distribution's package manager.
  2. 2Learn to search for available packages before installing something blindly.
  3. 3Practice this on both a Debian-based and RHEL-based VM if possible, to feel the syntax difference.
