All language subtitles for Introduction to Qwiklabs

You're about to do a few exercises using
the Qwiklabs online learning platform.

Before we dive into that,
let's learn a bit more about the platform.

Qwiklabs is an online learning environment
that takes you through live real

world scenarios you may encounter
as an IT support specialist.

As we said earlier, a virtual machine or
VM, simulates computers using software.

This virtual machine will be
running on either Linux or

Windows depending on the exercise.

Qwiklab supports both, this way you
can learn to work in either operating

system regardless of which operating
system you are running on your machine.

The Qwiklabs virtual
machines run in the cloud.

So you can access them over
the internet from wherever you are.

As we've shared before, when we say
that a service is running in the cloud,

we mean that it's running in a data
center or on other remote servers.

After this video, we'll give you
instructions on how to access and

complete the labs.

You'll use Qwiklabs in lots of courses for
this program.

So spend some time learning
your way around it.

We still encourage you to try these
exercises on a local machine if that's

an option for you.

Remember that practice makes perfect,
whether you're learning something new or

trying to improve your skills.

So practice using Qwiklabs
as much as you can.
