What you’ll learn
Gain in-depth knowledge of Oracle Linux system administration, including advanced security controls, firewall and network configurations, and high-availability management. Designed for system administrators, our course will build your confidence in deploying robust infrastructure and resolving technical challenges effectively.
Enterprise networking and file sharing
Gain experience in setting up advanced network interfaces, including bonded Ethernet connections and VLANs, to support high-performance infrastructure. You’ll also explore how to configure and secure enterprise file sharing services using NFS, Samba and FTP, alongside AutoFS for automounting and socket units for streamlining service activation across Oracle Linux environments.
Linux security and audit controls
Strengthen your system’s security by learning how to configure SELinux rules, manage user contexts and create policy modules. You’ll also gain the skills to implement audit rules, analyse system logs and detect unauthorised activity, using tools such as AIDE for file integrity monitoring and Fail2Ban for service protection.
Service configuration and storage resilience
Learn to manage background services with Systemd by creating service, timer and mount units. Deepen your understanding of Linux storage by configuring RAID levels and building Logical Volumes. You’ll also practice expanding file systems, recovering from storage failures and managing disk resources to enhance system reliability in demanding environments.
System performance and container orchestration
Gain the skills to monitor and assess system performance through process tracking, memory usage analysis and I/O diagnostics. You’ll also explore the fundamentals of Kubernetes, from installation and cluster configuration to managing Pods and understanding namespaces, helping you apply containerised solutions confidently within Oracle Linux environments.
