service httpd start
chkconfig httpd on
groupadd

This book assumes basic-level knowledge on Linux operating system and cloud computing. The book will go through building different networking components in AWS, which may require a basic understanding of networking and virtualization concepts. If you have an experience of networking concepts, this is a big plus. Most of the recipes provided in the book for networking components are provided by AWS and require AWS console access. For this you need moderate network connectivity to the internet. Some of the recipes that are executed on the local system are also very lightweight and can be executed on any laptop or desktop with decent configuration. Sample hardware or virtual requirements are listed as follows:

CPU: 4 cores
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Disk space: 80 GB

In this book, you will need the following software list:
