Course overview
A Linux systems administration course covering daily operations, services and hardening. Everything is done from the command line on RHEL-family and Debian-family systems: users and permissions, package and service management, storage, networking, logging, backups, and shell automation.
Learners build and harden a working server stack with monitoring and scheduled backups.
Who it is for
- System administrators
- Cloud and DevOps engineers
- Support engineers
- Developers running their own servers
Prerequisites
Basic computer knowledge and comfort with a terminal.
How it runs
Learn → Practise → Build → Experience → Demonstrate, ending in a capstone. Delivered by practitioners from the engineering bench, in Madurai, Coimbatore and online.
