Linux is the #1 operating system for web servers, cloud computing, smart phones and consumer electronics. Due to its high adoption rates and continued growth, there’s a shortage of Linux system administrators. This course will teach you the skills and processes you need to work as a professional Linux systems administrator.
This course is ideal for those new to IT, or those who have worked with operating systems other than Linux and want to move into a career administering Linux systems. Aspiring cloud professionals will also benefit from understanding Linux administration as it serves as the basis of most cloud instances.
Along with real-world experience and study, this course will provide the skills and knowledge also tested by the Linux Foundation Certified Systems Administrator (LFCS) exam.
Basic knowledge of Linux, including installing Linux and using the command line is helpful, but not required. If you don't have any Linux experience, we highly recommend the free Introduction to Linux course.
