Gain the skills and confidence to manage Linux environments with this comprehensive, hands-on course designed for IT professionals and aspiring administrators. Covering everything from the command line to advanced system services, this course prepares you for both real-world system administration tasks and the CompTIA Linux+ certification exam.

You'll learn how to:

• Execute essential Linux commands – manage files, processes, and text efficiently using the shell.
• Configure and maintain systems – install Linux distributions, manage packages, control boot processes, and configure kernel modules.
• Implement secure environments – apply firewalls (iptables/nftables), manage permissions, enforce authentication, and use SELinux policies.
• Manage storage solutions – configure LVM, RAID, and network-attached storage for performance and redundancy.
• Troubleshoot effectively – analyze log files (journalctl, syslog) and use diagnostic tools to identify and fix system issues.
• Automate tasks – write Bash scripts, schedule cron jobs, and streamline system management.
• Work with containers – deploy and manage applications using Docker and Podman.
• Configure networking – set up interfaces, routing, and services such as SSH, Apache, and NFS.

This course blends interactive labs, video demonstrations, and real-world projects, giving you practical experience with Linux administration tools and techniques.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:

• Confidently administer Linux systems in enterprise and cloud environments.
• Secure, monitor, and optimize system performance.
• Automate workflows and deploy containerized applications.
• Demonstrate the competencies required for the CompTIA Linux+ certification.
• Pursue in-demand roles such as Linux Administrator, DevOps Engineer, or Cloud Support Specialist.

Expectations: Students are expected to complete weekly lab exercises, actively participate in discussion forums, and demonstrate professional and ethical use of administrative privileges.

This course provides the technical depth, hands-on practice, and certification readiness needed to succeed in Linux administration and advance in IT, DevOps, or cloud infrastructure careers.
