Study Notes
Development Environments
- Developers primarily use Docker, Virtual Machines, and Cloud Hosted Environments to provision individual development environments.
Modular Applications
- Developers create modular applications to ensure that a failure in one module does not affect the entire application.
"Works on my machine."
- "Works on my machine" refers to a phenomenon where an application works correctly on the developer's local machine but fails when deployed to a different environment.
Infrastructure as Code
- "Infrastructure as Code" is a practice in which infrastructure is provisioned and managed through code and configuration files, rather than through graphical interfaces or command-line tools.
Re-provisioning vs Repairing
- Re-provisioning is faster than repairing in infrastructure as code because it allows for the creation of a new instance from a known good configuration, rather than trying to fix issues with an existing instance.
Linux Kernel
- The Linux family is based on the Unix operating system kernel.
- Linus Torvalds is the creator of the Linux kernel.
Linux Distributions
- Linux distributions typically include the Linux kernel, system libraries, system utilities, and applications.
- The organization that recommends the name 'GNU/Linux' for Linux distributions is the Free Software Foundation.
- Slackware is NOT mentioned as a popular Linux distribution in the text.
