1)Dear Students,

Welcome back from your semester break. Hope you all had a good break. Your assignment 3 requires you to install Ubuntu server using a cloud service provider. I recommend using Microsoft Azure as it does not ask for credit card information and it’s very easy to set up a trial account.
Following is the video tutorial link for installing Ubuntu server. I will send out a webserver installation link shortly.
