Linux System Administration

Course Overview

Our Linux System Administration course is a key component of our Cloud For Jobs 2.0 program
and it is designed to equip you with the foundational Linux knowledge crucial for excelling as a
Cloud DevOps Infrastructure Engineer.


In the initial weeks, we focus on acquainting you with navigating a Linux operating system,
setting a strong base for future learning. Over the next seven weeks, we delve into topics such as
user administration, security, networking, processes, storage, source control (using Git), and
containers (utilizing docker), among others.


Our aim for the Linux system administrator course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of Linux systems to facilitate your work within cloud environments and to serve as a stepping stone for grasping other technologies you’ll encounter throughout the program.
