Operating Systems & Networking Lab

In this lab, you will explore operating systems and networking fundamentals in a DevOps context. You will gain practical experience in working with operating systems and perform network-related tasks. Follow the tasks below to complete the lab assignment.

Task 1: Operating System Analysis

Objective: Analyze and understand key aspects of the operating system's performance and uptime.

1. Analyze System Boot Time:

   • Use systemd-analyze to check the overall boot time and identify slow services.

     systemd-analyze
     systemd-analyze blame

2. Check System Load and Uptime:

   • Use uptime and w to check system load and uptime.

     uptime
     w

3. Document the Analysis:

   • Create a submission6.md file.
   • Provide the output of systemd-analyze, uptime, and w commands in the submission6.md file.
   • Include any observations or insights regarding system boot time, load, and uptime.

Task 2: Networking Analysis

Objective: Perform network diagnostics and analyze DNS resolution to understand network paths and latency.

1. Traceroute:

   • Use the appropriate command or tool to perform a traceroute to a specified website or IP address.

     traceroute example.com

2. Dig:

   • Use the appropriate command or tool to perform a DNS lookup for a specified domain name.

     dig example.com

3. Document the Networking Analysis:

   • Add the output of the traceroute and dig commands to the submission6.md file.
   • Include any observations or insights regarding the network path, latency, and DNS resolution.

Guidelines

• Use proper Markdown formatting for the documentation files.
• Organize the files within the lab folder using appropriate naming conventions.
• Create a Pull Request to the main branch of the repository with your completed lab assignment.

Note: Actively explore and document your findings to gain hands-on experience with operating system analysis and networking diagnostics.
