A must-know topic for DevOps interviews๐ก
Many engineers follow blogs and manage to get things done without understanding what each linux system folder represents.
Understanding the organization and hierarchy of directories in Linux is crucial for DevOps engineers while working with Linux Systems.
Each linux folder is like a special place where certain types of files are kept.
Here's a simple explanation for each, using real-world examples:
- /๐ฏ๐ถ๐ป: This is like a toolbox where your basic tools (commands) are kept, such as the ones you use to copy or move files around.
- /๐ฏ๐ผ๐ผ๐: Think of it as a car's ignition system where all the necessary files are stored to start (boot) the computer system.
- /๐ฑ๐ฒ๐: This folder is like a parking garage for devices. It contains files that represent devices like your keyboard, mouse, or USB drives.
- /๐ฒ๐๐ฐ: This is the filing cabinet for configuration files, where settings for programs and the system are stored.
- /๐ต๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ: Like a neighborhood where everyone has their own house, this is where users have their personal folders to store their files.
- /๐น๐ถ๐ฏ: Consider this a library where the system's shared resources and codes (libraries) are stored that programs need to run.
- /๐บ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฎ: This is the shelf where you put removable media, like when you plug in a CD or a USB stick and it shows up.
- /๐บ๐ป๐: Think of it as a temporary guest room for storage devices, where you mount them temporarily to access their content.
- /๐ผ๐ฝ๐:- It's like a storage room for extra software that doesn't come with the standard installation.
- /๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ: This is the information center of the system, displaying real-time system information, almost like a live dashboard.
- /๐ฟ๐ผ๐ผ๐: Itโs the private home directory for the 'root' user, like a secure office for the system administrator.
- /๐๐ฏ๐ถ๐ป: This is like a secure toolbox for the system admin's tools (commands) that are used for system maintenance.
- /๐๐ฟ๐: It's the service room where data for services provided by the system, like web pages, are stored.
- /๐๐๐: This directory acts as a window into the system's kernel and helps manage and understand the hardware connected to the system.
- /๐๐บ๐ฝ: Consider this a scratch pad or a temporary workspace where files are stored temporarily.
- /๐๐๐ฟ: This is like a public library for additional user programs and files that are used by everyone.
- /๐๐ฎ๐ฟ: This is the office where variable data such as logs, databases, emails, etc., that change frequently, are stored.

To qualify as a Court of Appeal Justice, you must have been a Judge for atleast 12 years
Does this Judgement sound as coherent as someone whoโs been sitting as a Judge for this long
You make mistake in a Judgment you wrote and is believed you read it before coming to court to deliver it ๐
It was a very bad idea broadcasting this judgement because the disgrace is international ๐ฉ๐ฉ
