Linux Administration 220
Configure and Manage Production Linux Servers
The Linux Administration 220 course teaches existing IT professionals how to better configure and manage applications on their Linux servers in an enterprise production environment. Using CentOS/RedHat as the foundation of this intensive, hands-on training class, you will gain a deeper understanding of the Linux server OS, Linux networking, Linux virtualization, and common Linux server applications. You will understand “why” instead of just “how”, and leave with the knowledge needed to become a top-notch Senior Systems Administrator.
Key Topics Covered
The following are the core concepts that will be taught during this 3-day, hands-on training class:
- Common open source licenses
- Advanced text processing with sed, awk, and regular expressions
- Advanced vi editing
- Date and Time Management
- Managing multiple terminal sessions with ‘screen’
- Copying files remotely with ‘scp’
- Backing up systems with ‘rsync’
- Linux mail transfer agents
- Task scheduling with Cron
- System logging functions
- Linux libraries and modules
- YUM repository configuration
- Building and managing a local repository
- Advanced package management with YUM and RPM
- Compiling applications from source
- Building a LAMP server (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP)
- Creating and managing virtual machines with KVM
Who Should Take This Class?
Our classes aren’t easy. In fact, they’re downright hard. Think of it as an intense workout for your engineering brain. If you’re not ready to sweat the details and work harder than ever before, our classes aren’t for you.
Our Linux Administration 220 class is designed for IT professionals who already know how to install, configure and manage Linux servers, and who are ready to learn how to perform advanced configuration and application management of the Linux OS in an enterprise environment. Participants in this class should already be at the Systems Administrator level and have hands-on experience working with Linux in a small- to medium-sized enterprise production environment, and integrating Linux servers into heterogeneous data center infrastructure.
By Engineers, For Engineers
SteelPivot’s unique learning methodology, Full Immersion Training (FIT), is unlike any other in the industry. Our focus is on the complete engineer, not just the basics of Linux, how to use a particular vendor’s product, or how to pass a certification test.
It’s been proven that people learn best in small-group environments. That’s why our Linux Administration 220 class is taught by two (2) instructors and limited to no more than eight (8) students. Our instructors are also working senior Linux engineers employed full-time by SteelPivot, who practice what they teach by identifying and solving real client problems when they’re not teaching class.
Based on the simple idea that the best way to learn is by doing, you will be taught in a hands-on lab where you’ll be encouraged to experiment and take risks – preparing you to work confidently in a full production environment. We give you two Linux servers to work on during class, and when something “breaks” or you encounter a problem, we teach you how to troubleshoot and fix it. Your learning experience is 100% hands-on, and passive participation is not an option. When you finish our class, you will truly know Linux.
What You Should Already Know
You will get the most out of this class – and be more successful applying what you learn – if you know your level of Linux expertise. That’s why pre- and post-tests are mandatory for every class. Besides making sure you have the following core skills in place, these tests are a great way for you to benchmark your own progress.
To get the most out of this 3-day Linux Administration 220 class, participants should already have the following core skills:
- Knowledge of IP networking
- Ability to use SSH from the command line
- Understand the role of the Linux Kernel
- Understand the structure and purpose of shell scripts
- Grasp the concept of TCP/UDP ports
- Understand libraries and modules
- Comprehend disk drive nomenclature (labels, UUIDs, device names)
- Knowledge of Linux file system permissions
- Understand Linux I/O streams, pipes and redirects
- Capable of using YUM to locate, install and remove packages
- Ability to work on a Linux system with no graphical desktop
- Know how to locate and view system logs
- Ability to edit text comfortably with vi
