UNIX and Linux Essentials Course

The UNIX and Linux Essentials Course is a hands-on, but broad-based, introduction to the world of open-source operating systems. Intended to prepare future system administrators, DevOps engineers or cloud engineers, the programme provides an introductory background by covering essential concepts of UNIX/Linux, i.e., file systems, permission configuration, command-line shell navigation and process management. 

Participants will learn to use tools they cannot live without, like vim, grep, tar, and build competence in shell programming and user administration at the same time. Procedures like working with archived files and making remote transfers, along with comprehending how a system boots, are all included and discussed at length. The curriculum also encompasses encounters with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure components and, in this way, supports the cloud-ready perception. 

This practical training prepares students to take the next step and obtain higher Linux qualifications (RHCSA / LFCS) and consolidates confidence to handle the servers in a bare-metal, virtualised or cloud setup. 

Take the next step in your systems career with SSDN Technologies, the Best IT Training Company, and gain a command-line foundation that will be the solid foundation to every role in modern IT.
