DevOpsnCloud:
In Part 1, we transformed your Windows machine by installing WSL2, setting up Ubuntu, and enabling systemd. Your PC now has a heart that beats like a Linux server. Incase you haven't read that post here is the link : https://www.nairaland.com/8606292/how-set-up-windows-pc

Now, we need the right tools to interact with that heart. In this guide, we will set up Visual Studio Code (VS Code) and install Docker directly inside WSL2.

1. The Gateway: Visual Studio Code (VS Code)
When working in DevOps/Cloud, you’ll constantly switch between editing scripts and running terminal commands. Opening multiple windows for PowerShell and Ubuntu can become messy.

VS Code is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that simplifies this. With the right extensions, VS Code "tunnels" into your Ubuntu system, allowing you to edit Linux files and run Linux commands without ever leaving the editor.


Installation & Setup:
1. Download: Get the Windows installer from the official VS Code site.

2. The Magic Step: During installation, ensure you check the box "Add to PATH." This allows you to type code . in your terminal to open projects instantly.

3. The Essential Extension: Open VS Code.

4, Click the Extensions icon (square icon on the left) or press Ctrl+Shift+X.

5. Search for and install the WSL extension by Microsoft.

Pro Tip: Once installed, click the green "><" icon in the bottom-left corner of VS Code and select "Connect to WSL." You are now coding directly inside your Linux environment!



2. The Engine: Why Docker-in-WSL2?
Docker is the industry standard for containerization. On Windows, different options available to anyone who wants to use Docker, and they are:

1. Docker Desktop: A heavy GUI application.

2. Virtual Machines: High resource usage.

3. Docker-in-WSL2 (Our Choice): I recommend the Docker-in-WSL2 method for DevOps learners. It is lightweight, uses fewer system resources, and offers a production-accurate experience. Since you enabled systemd in Part 1, Docker will behave exactly as it does on a real AWS or Azure server. Plus, it’s completely free for all users.


Step-by-Step: Installing Docker-in-WSL2

1. Open your Ubuntu terminal and run the following commands:

2. Update and Install Prerequisites
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
$ sudo apt install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release apt-transport-https

3. Add Docker’s Official GPG Key & Repository. This ensures you are downloading the authentic, latest version of Docker.
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

$ echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null


4. Install Docker Engine
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin docker-buildx-plugin

5. Start and Verify
Since we enabled systemd in Part 1, we can manage Docker as a service. Enable Docker to start automatically
$ sudo systemctl enable --now docker

6. Check if Docker is running
$ sudo systemctl status docker --no-pager

7. Run a test container
$ sudo docker run hello-world
If you see a "Hello from Docker!" message, congratulations—you've successfully containerized your first application!


Conclusion
You have now reached a major milestone:

1. VS Code is connected to your Linux environment.

2. Docker is running natively inside WSL2 via systemd.

Your workflow is now streamlined and professional.

You are no longer just a Windows user; you are a DevOps/Cloud engineer in training.

What’s next? In Part 3, we will explore Git version control and set up our first Cloud CLI to start interacting with the world of AWS/Azure.

i want to learn cloud engineering

please don't believe this, i used that road on 22nd December, 2025 and 10th January 2026, that Road is terrible, there is no project ongoing.

I used to drink tea without any issues, for the past 2yrs now, if i take tea if care is not taken i must throw up.

if he can be humble, you can let him help you in some of your hustles then bring money to the house. eg if you are selling in the street, let him sale same product in another corner of the street. if you are doing 9-5, you can double your hustle too, and the would he taking care of that your hustle while you are at work. all this can be achieved if he is a humble child
