Linux / Unix Administration

Linux / Unix Administration Essentials

SystemsScriptingHands-On
Linux / Unix Administration

The command line, scripting, and systems literacy that every modern engineer is assumed to have.

From shell fluency through user administration, networking, package management, and shell scripting, this course rebuilds the systems literacy that modern cloud, DevOps, and data engineering roles assume. Hands-on labs use Ubuntu and CentOS environments, and students complete a final hardening and automation project.
