Learning Outcomes & Objectives
Reaching the necessary level to carry out tasks assigned to a junior system administration, able to administrate a mid-size infrastructure, with a reduced number of machines/users and a uniform Operative System:
- Obtain a first impression about the main System Administration issues and problems
- Planning and instalation of a Operative System (Booting, basic configuration, disk partitioning, etc.)
- Learning main administration tasks for a local server: User management (create and delete users), Software management (Installation, configuration, version maintenance), Resource management (monitorization, CPU, memory, swap and disk), Filesystem mainteinance (Backups)
- Controlling some basic aspects about network administration. Network interface configuration, subneting and routing policies.
Linux Systems Administration
This course provides hands-on training in Linux systems administration, preparing students to manage and maintain real-world IT infrastructures. Through extensive laboratory work, students gain practical experience in deploying, configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting Linux-based systems in environments that closely resemble professional data center and cloud operations.
Key topics include:
- Linux installation and system configuration
- Command-line administration and shell scripting
- User and access management
- Software deployment and package management
- Storage, filesystems, LVM and RAID
- System monitoring and performance analysis
- Backup and recovery procedures
- Networking fundamentals and service configuration
- Troubleshooting and operational support
The course follows a performance-based assessment model, where students are evaluated primarily through practical administration tasks rather than theoretical exams. The training methodology is closely aligned with industry-recognized certification programs such as Red Hat and Linux Foundation certifications, emphasizing the ability to solve real operational challenges on live systems.
Graduates of the course acquire the practical skills expected from entry-level Linux system administrators and are well prepared for roles in infrastructure, operations, cloud platforms, and DevOps environments.
