The application side is a more understandable. There are lots of reasons to know and use apache, postfix, etc.
As far as learning goes, if you really want to work in enterprise IT then vSphere is good to know but if you are willing to learn things on your own then you might as well learn kubernetes, docker, etc.
Knowing things like vSphere is cool & perhaps useful but it also hides the how things work. If you want to know and understand things it is better to stick to the open source & interact directly with KVM and Xen. Like you wouldn't use cPanel to learn how a LAMP stack works.
- bluedino 5y agoWhat if you just want to spin up servers in an easy to use platform so you can use them to other things, and not learn the integrals of virtualization?
- easton 5y agoThen KVM is still probably the move. Install Ubuntu, then install Cockpit for a web interface to manage KVM and Docker. If you want a little more depth, Proxmox is also good but there’s some mild learning curve there.
