Linux is a group of open-sourced operating systems. About 90% of public clouds operate using Linux and about 70% of all smart phones are based on Linux. This makes Linux essential to learn if you plan or currently work in cloud infrastructure, supercomputers, smart phone development or another area that relies on Linux. The following Linux command cheat sheet may prove useful when refreshing your memory on certain commands.

LINUX is a clone of UNIX; a multi-user operating system where multiple users can use at the same time. When you run a ls command, no file protection information is provided to you since, by default, ‘ls’ just list file names. By using “option” with the “ls” command, you can get more details. All the options start with a ‘-‘.

Linux is one of the most renowned open-source platforms that is the heart of other platforms like Android, OpenWrt, Ubuntu, and many more. It has been a significant foundation, since the ’90s, for building software and developing mobile apps. Linux is truly a masterpiece that has a lot of potentials. If used right, it can create wonders for businesses in this era. But the question remains, why isn’t everyone starting a career in Linux? The answer is simple; it’s because it’s too difficult.

Linus has been around as long as Windows has been but even then the number of users for Windows is staggeringly more than there are Linux users. But then again Windows is a stretched up operating system that is being used by a number of people for business and personal use, enterprises use it, schools and universities use it, and even so it is also being used in the Industrial sector. But as long as Linux is concerned it has got a special case usage that means it only has a special audience such as coders and programmers and people that are associated with penetration testing or cloud computing use Linux terminal more intensively than they are to use any other operating system.

The idea of DevOps which is more like methodology than being a process working with Linux (independent open-source operating system) is kind of riveting and thought-provoking for all digital enterprises out there. DevOps and Linux have many things in common such as both focus on the functional part of things and offer stable customizability to the developers and cloud practitioners.

Linux was introduced in the early ’90s by Linus Torvalds, a Finnish software engineer, and Free Software Foundation (FSF). Since then, Linux has seen incredible growth in the market. The competent and consistent system is what makes Linux popular among competitors like Microsoft, Apple, and Android.

Cloud Linux is an operating system that is developed to provide a steady and protected operating system to the shared hosting providers. Features like enabling system administrators are what makes the cloud Linux a number one choice of customers. The cloud Linux ensures that the issues with the one account do not reduce the service quality for others. The lightweight virtual environment feature in the Linux cloud virtualizes the end-users accounts. The feature allows users to allot a certain amount of memory to each resource. Henceforth, in case of increased traffic, the specific LVE slows down rather than the whole system.

Linux certifications hold a distinct position in the field of IT. These certifications can play a significant role in shaping the future of your IT career, since the majority of business organizations prefer to run their servers on the Linux OS.

Linux, an open-source operating system like Unix, was developed by Linus Torvalds on September 17th, 1991. The operating system was initially developed for personal computers; however, since then, it has been ported to more platforms. Linux can also perform on an embedded system; this includes televisions, automation control, and routers, etc.
