System Admin & Advanced Scripting

Description

Linux operating systems are a top choice for cloud and infrastructure servers. Effective administration and management of Linux environments is a valuable skill, necessary for success in many computing scenarios and stacks.

The Code.Learn System Admin & Advanced Scripting program, designed in exclusive collaboration with Athens Tech College, provides participants with the required knowledge to effectively configure, manage and maintain Linux-based environments. Through practical, hands-on scenarios participants will be taught the basics of Linux, including how to manage files, use regular expressions, and schedule tasks. Furthermore, participants will learn how to secure Linux systems by correctly configuring users and groups, using the OpenSSH service and the firewall as well as installing updates and software packages. In addition to configuring, participants will also learn how to maintain Linux systems by troubleshooting and recording/analyzing logs. By the end of the course, participants will have obtained all the necessary knowledge to perform basic Linux system administration and maintenance tasks.
