In this hands-on lab, we will be working with networking using YaST and Wicked. This is something every admin should know, and the steps in this lab are especially important to know in a DevOps scenario.

sudo wicked show allTake note of the eth0 IP address.
Then use YaST to set the hostname:
sudo yastIn the ncurses interface, go to Network Services > Hostnames > Add.
