Visualizing systemd Startups

Understanding what happens when a `systemd` system boots up and is running is essential to being able to use it properly and manage it. In this lab, we'll show you how to use the included tools to see your `systemd` startup sequences, both command line and also as a graphical plot. You'll come out of the lab with a clear understanding of what happened during a boot, how long each component took, and how long it took overall, as well as the structure of what a running system looks like.
