To follow along with me I suggest you have the following ready:

  Minimum 1 CPU and 1 GB RAM (Recommended: 2 CPUs and 4 GB RAM)

  Update the system:

  Debian/Ubuntu: apt update && apt upgrade -y

  Fedora: dnf update -y

  Note: I suggest using VirtualBox, VMware Workstation, KVM or Proxmox for your virtual machines.

• Visual Studio Code installed.

• An AWS account with a separate IAM user (with admin permissions) for lab purposes

• Two or more monitors (or a second system) to display additional resources
