Course Objectives

In this course, you will learn key system administration skills needed to set up and provide network services that are frequently used by servers and their applications in enterprise data centers. You will gain an understanding of how to manually manage these services, and you will also prepare Ansible playbooks to automate manual configuration tasks and perform them at scale.

Agenda

  • Discuss and review key tools and skills needed to manage network services.

  • Improve the redundancy or throughput of network connections of servers by configuring Linux network teaming between multiple network interfaces

  • Explain the operation of DNS service, troubleshoot DNS issues, and configure servers to act as a DNS caching nameserver or as an authoritative name server.

  • Explain and configure services used for IPv4 and IPv6 address assignment including DHCP, DHCPv6, and SLAAC.

  • Discuss the basic operation of SQL-based relational databases, perform basic SQL queries for troubleshooting, and be able to set up a simple MariaDB database service.

  • Provide web content from Apache HTTPD or Nginx web servers, then configure them with virtual hosts and TLS-based encryption

  • Improve performance of your web servers by using Varnish to cache static content being served and HAProxy to terminate TLS connections and balance load between servers.

  • Deliver simple file-based network shares to clients using the NFS and SMB protocols.
