Shell Scripting

A shell script is a text file containing a series of commands that are executed by the shell
(like bash, sh, zsh, etc.). It's commonly used to automate tasks.

1)Open a terminal.

2)Create a file:

nano [Link]

3)Add this content:

#!/bin/bash - Shebang (interpreter marker)

echo "Hello, world!"

Bash stands for “Bourne Again SHell”

#! — Tells the system that the file should be run using an interpreter.

/bin/bash — Specifies the path to the Bash shell, which will interpret the script.

4)Save and exit:

(Ctrl+O, Enter, then Ctrl+X).

5) Make it executable:
chmod +x [Link]

6) Run it

./[Link]
Step 2: Basic Concepts:

name="Alice"
echo "Hello, $name"

$ is used to access the value of a variable

✅ Input from user:

echo "Enter your name:"

read user
echo "Welcome, $user"

✅ Conditional Statements:

age=18
if [ $age -ge 18 ]; then
echo "Adult"
else
echo "Minor"
fi

For loop:

for i in 1 2 3
do
echo "Number $i"
done

While loop:

count=1
while [ $count -le 3 ]
do
echo "Count is $count"
((count++))
sleep 1 # pause for 1 second
done

sleep 1 # Pauses for 1 second

sleep 2.5 # Pauses for 2.5 seconds
sleep 5m # Pauses for 5 minutes
sleep 1h # Pauses for 1 hour
✅ Method 1: Using seq:

1)
for i in $(seq 10 100)
do
echo "Number $i"
done

2)
for i in $(seq 10 2 100)
do
echo "Even number: $i"
done

3)
for i in $(seq 1 100)
do
if [ $((i % 2)) -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Even number: $i"
fi
done

Operato Meaning Example

r

-eq Equal to [ 5 -eq 5 ] →

true

-ne Not equal to [ 5 -ne 3 ] →

true

-gt Greater than [ 5 -gt 3 ] →

VIRTUALIZATION

Virtualization means creating a virtual (not real) version of

something—like a computer system, storage, or network—using
software.
 Component Role

Host OS The main OS running on the physical machine

Hypervisor Manages virtual machines, divides resources

Guest OS OS installed inside each virtual machine

VM (Guest) A full virtual computer with its own virtual

hardware

Term Description

Host Machine The physical system

Guest Machine The virtual machine (VM)

Hypervisor Software that creates and manages

VMs

Types of Hypervisors:

Type 1 hypervisors (also called bare-metal hypervisors) are installed directly on the
hardware, without a traditional host operating system like Windows or Linux.

🟩 Type 1 (Bare-Metal):

● Installed directly on hardware.

● No host OS.

● Better performance & security.

● Used in data centers, cloud providers.

Examples:

● VMware ESXi

● Microsoft Hyper-V (Server version)

● Xen

● KVM (Linux)
🟦 Type 2 (Hosted):

● Installed on top of a host OS.

● Easier for beginners/testing/devs.

Examples:

● Oracle VirtualBox

● VMware Workstation

● Parallels (macOS)

For Type 1 Hypervisor:

Question Answer

Is it installed on hardware ✅ Yes — no need for Windows/Linux as a base

directly?

✅ Main Types of Virtualization (with Simple Explanations & Examples)

1. Server Virtualization
 What it is: Dividing one physical server into multiple virtual servers.
 Why use it: Better resource utilization, cost savings, isolation between apps.

📦  Example Tools: VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM

Example: One physical server running Linux, Windows, and Ubuntu as separate virtual
machines (VMs).

2. Desktop Virtualization
  What it is: Hosting desktop environments on a central server instead of a local
machine.
 Why use it: Access desktops remotely from any device, great for security and
mobility.
 Types: VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure), Remote Desktop Services

💻  Example Tools: Citrix, VMware Horizon, Azure Virtual Desktop

Example: Employees access their work desktop via browser while working from home.

3. Storage Virtualization
 What it is: Pooling multiple physical storage devices into one virtual storage system.
 Why use it: Simplifies management, improves storage utilization.

🗂️  Example Tools: IBM Spectrum Virtualize, NetApp ONTAP

Example: Multiple hard drives act as a single storage unit for easier backup and access.

4. Network Virtualization
 What it is: Creating multiple virtual networks on a single physical network.
 Why use it: Easier network management, isolation, and flexibility.

🌐  Example Tools: VMware NSX, Cisco ACI, Open vSwitch

Example: Developers create isolated virtual networks to test applications securely.

5. Application Virtualization
 What it is: Running apps in a virtual environment, without installing them on the local
OS.
 Why use it: Reduces app conflicts, easy updates, and centralized management.

🧩  Example Tools: Microsoft App-V, Citrix XenApp

Example: MS Word runs on your system without being actually installed, streamed from
the server.

6. Operating System Virtualization (Containerization)

 What it is: Running multiple isolated user-space instances (containers) on one OS
kernel.
 Why use it: Lightweight, fast, ideal for microservices and DevOps.

🐳  Example Tools: Docker, Kubernetes, LXC

Example: A Python app and a [Link] app run in isolated Docker containers on the
same OS.

🧱✅ 1. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)
Simple Meaning:
Cloud provider gives you basic computing resources like servers, storage, and networks.

🧑💻
You manage the OS and apps.
‍ You manage:
 OS
 Middleware
 Runtime

☁️  Applications
Cloud provides:
 Virtual machine
 Network

📦  Storage
Example:
 AWS EC2
 Google Compute Engine

🧠  Microsoft Azure VMs

Analogy:
Like renting an empty flat. You bring your furniture, appliances, and live as you want.

🏗️✅ 2. PaaS (Platform as a Service)

Simple Meaning:

🧑💻
just write and deploy code.
‍ You manage:

☁️  Your application and data

Cloud provides:
 OS
 Runtime
 Middleware

📦  Servers
Example:
 Google App Engine
 Heroku

🧠  AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Analogy:
Like renting a fully furnished flat, just bring your personal belongings.

💻✅ 3. SaaS (Software as a Service)

Simple Meaning:
Cloud provider gives you a complete ready-to-use application.

🧑💻
You just use it—no installation or coding needed.
‍ You manage:

☁️  Nothing (just use it)

Cloud provides:

📦  Everything (app, infra, updates)

Example:
 Gmail
Google Docs
Zoom

🧠 Salesforce
Analogy:
Like staying in a hotel. You use everything without maintaining anything.

📦✅ 4. CaaS (Containers as a Service)

Simple Meaning:

Great question! Let's break it down into three cloud platforms — AWS, Azure, and Google
Cloud Platform (GCP) — and look at the equivalent services for:
1. Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
2. Compute (like EC2, Lambda)
3. Storage (like S3)
We'll also explain each service in simple terms.

🌐 1. Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Setup

Cloud Service Name Explanation
VPC (Virtual Lets you create a private, isolated section of the AWS cloud with
AWS
Private Cloud) your own IP ranges, subnets, routing, etc.
Virtual Network Same idea as AWS VPC: you get your own private network with
Azure
(VNet) control over subnets, IPs, firewalls, etc.
Google’s version of a private network. You can create regional or

✅
GCP VPC Network
global VPCs, define subnets, routes, firewall rules.
All 3 let you:
 Launch resources in a private network
 Control traffic with firewalls
 Set up subnets, VPNs, and routing

⚙️ 2. Compute Services
A) Virtual Machines (like AWS EC2)
Explanation
Cloud Service Name

Launch and manage virtual machines (VMs) with your OS

EC2 (Elastic Compute
AWS and configurations.
Cloud)

Same as EC2 – run Linux/Windows VMs in the cloud.

Azure Azure Virtual Machines

🧠
GCP Compute Engine Scalable virtual machines running in Google data centers.
Use-case: You want full control over the server — OS, apps, storage.
B) Serverless Functions (like AWS Lambda)
Cloud Service Name Explanation
Run code in response to events (HTTP request, file upload, etc.)
AWS Lambda
without managing servers.
Azure
Azure Similar to Lambda: write functions that trigger on events.
Functions
Cloud Google’s version of serverless functions. Just write code; no server

🧠
GCP
Functions setup.
Use-case: Run event-based logic (e.g., send email when file uploaded).

📦 3. Storage Services (like AWS S3)

Cloud Service Name Explanation

S3 (Simple Storage Scalable object storage for files, backups, media, data lakes,
AWS
Service) etc.
Azure’s equivalent of S3. Used for storing unstructured data
Azure Azure Blob Storage
(like files, images, videos).
Object storage like S3; used to store and access data over

✅
GCP Cloud Storage
the web.
Common Features:
 Store any type of file/object
 Scalable and durable
 Access via APIs or web interface
 Used for backups, static websites, data lakes
