Server setup and security

You will learn to manage a Ubuntu virtual machine (VM) in "the cloud".
You will secure the server against common types of attacks.

Details:

Each student has their very own virtual machine (VM) on DigitalOcean. Each VM has a public IP address and initial root password (which I sent to you via email). Secure your server following the steps from the Virtualization and security lecture:
