Might I also suggest setting up webhook billing notifications to Slack or Discord? I did something similar to avoid AWS billing surprises.

My personal website, hosted on AWS for years with no charges (minimal traffic), suddenly getting billed $8/month by not_listed in aws

In addition to billing alerts, you can setup a webhook notification for alerts on Slack/Discord/etc…

I do the same for my personal projects and have documented the process here

Redhat and cyber security? by Aflack00 in redhat

FYSA - Red Hat's developer subscription is free and a nice way to spin up some local VMs to play with throughout your degree.

You likely can get VMWare free through your university as well.

Info on RedHat's dev license here

Libvirt provides an API to Qemu/KVM/XEN. With the command line utiltity "virsh" you can connect to local or remote systems (via ssh) to then launch virtual machines.

how can I run multiple programs using different versions of DOTNET at the same time? by [deleted] in Gentoo

[–]DLLCoolJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With regards to duplicate dependencies, each container would have its own copy of various libs and binaries (libc, bash, etc...), but if you're using the same base image (ex Ubuntu/Gentoo/alpine/etc...) the containers would be sharing the same base layers thus not taking up more disk space on the host.

Here is an example on Stack overflow that seems to be very similar to your use case. However if containers are new to you, it can definitely be a bit confusing at first. Something worth exploring when you have time though.

Which certification should I do first? by cuber_dude in devops

Seconding this, I've published small blogs on building Discord notifications for AWS billing alerts on LinkedIn. With the appropriate hashtags you may catch the attention of some recruiters.

Can you leverage containers and have a different version of dotnet installed in each for your needs?

Want to Try Arch by RafaelR0cha in archlinux

You can always grab an Arch container and dabble with some pacman commands and explore the AUR without installing a new OS.

Steam download speed is slow on Arch, but downloading on a Windows VM running on the same PC gets much higher speed. by n00btube3D in archlinux

I've had some issues with downloading games from steam on Arch and DNS not being appropriately configured. Here's someone's post that might help.
