This is a detailed walk through that beginners can use to create, configure, and connect Linux (RHEL 8) VMs. I use hyper-V, but it would be very similar using any other hypervisor, or in the cloud. I show how to permanently connect the VMs in Hyper-V using an external switch and static IPs. I show how to get RHEL ISOs from Red Hat, how to create and configure a VM using the GUI that appears when initially running a new RHEL VM, and how to completely configure a RHEL server using only the CLI, Command Line Interface.
The configurations shown using the CLI are: How to configure the NIC, how to register and subscribe the server to Red Hat, how to change the hostname, how to create a new user and give it sudo rights, how to edit the /etc/hosts files to link IP to hostname (DNS) locally, a brief explanation of Yum and how repos work, and some discussion of other Linux basics.
Forgive the blurred sections, I tried to hide personal information.
