1. Basic Linux Knowledge

• Comfortable working in a Linux terminal (CLI) environment.
• Able to perform basic file operations (create, copy, move, delete files/folders).
• Understand and manage file and directory permissions, ownership, and basic user management.
• Use of common Linux utilities like grep, top, df, ps, and chmod.

2. Basic Networking Fundamentals

• Some hands-on experience or learning in Python for simple scripting or tool use.

4. Git Version Control

5. CI/CD Concepts

• Basic understanding of what Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) are.
