Description:

This course is designed to teach you about the advantages of Linux-based operating systems, their role in enterprise, and how to understand and administer them. Aimed at relative beginners, we will teach you all the skills necessary to manage a small Linux estate.

Using a combination of demonstrations and practical exercises, we will guide you through the relevant commands, tools and processes you will need to know to become a successful administrator of a professional Linux environment.

The skills to properly run and maintain Linux environments are in very high demand.
If you have little or no experience working with Linux and wish to become a competent administrator quickly, this course will give you all the tools you need to enter the exciting and challenging world of Linux administration.

At the end of this course you will:

• Understand what GNU/Linux is, and its role in modern IT
• Be able to install a linux distribution from scratch
• Be able to configure users, groups, storage, and networking of a Linux-based computer
• Be able to confidently navigate the command line interface (CLI) on any Linux server
• Understand services, processes, and system resources
• Install, remove, and configure software.

This course is addressed to junior software developers. After the course completion, the trainees will be able to understand the architecture of well-known web servers such as Apache or Nginx, and implement their own network programs.

The course is 67% lectures, 33% hands-on exercises.

This course aims to provide its participants with all the necessary tools to acquire the intermediate skills about the Linux operating system, so that they can edit, manage and structure the program in the way that is most convenient for their organization with a thorough intermediate knowledge of the operation of the system.

The primary objective of this practical course is to introduce the Linux high-availability stack (Pacemaker, DRBD) to system administrators. During the training, each participant will build a two-machine cluster that offers a simple highly-available service (such as PostgreSQL or NFS) on a virtual IP address. Also, uses of DRBD not related to high availability are considered.

This practical course contains topics addressed to system administrators, developers, embedded developers and ordinary desktop users (including managers) who would like to have an introduction to virtualization in general. After this course, administrators will be able to create private clouds for use in production, and developers will be able to test their code on multiple operating systems without needing a second PC or a non-x86 board.

We understand that the set of topics presented in this course covered a wide range of subjects that might not be applicable for all customers. When booking this course, please specify what you wish to achieve using QEMU or KVM, and we will customize it by reallocating time from less relevant topics to the ones that would be important for you.

In this instructor-led, live training in Hungary, participants will learn the critical features of DNS while carrying out exercises in the setup and configuration of a BIND DNS server on Linux. The course starts with a refresher on key networking principles, then digs into hands-on practice with setup and configuration. Steadily, the discussion and practices move towards more complex topics such as security, availability, debugging and troubleshooting.

Alpine Linux is a security-oriented, lightweight (80 MB) Linux distribution based on musl libc and BusyBox. Alpine Linux is produced by the makers of Docker and is one of several in the recent proliferation of distros tailored for virtualization, containerization and the cloud. Alpine Linux replaces Ubuntu as the official base image for Docker containers.

This training introduces Alpine Linux's architecture and walks participants step-by-step through the setup of Alpine Linux in a live lab environment. By the end of this training, participants will have the knowledge and practice to deploy Alpine Linux as the foundation for running containers in development, test and production environments.
