Prerequisites
Participants are expected to have working knowledge of a Unix-based system from the command line.
Intended learning outcomes
This course gives students practical experience with basic installation and maintenance of computer systems with a focus on networks and network services.After completing this course, participants will:
- be able to explain how a modern Unix-based system is constructed;
- rapidly locate, evaluate and structure information in standards, technical documentation and professional literature to create solutions to new problems;
- be able to design, implement and maintain a computer system suitable for a small office or company;
- be able to test and troubleshoot services and other functionality in a small computer system;
- be able to demonstrate a system, including the services provided by the system, to show that system requirements have been met;
- have the basic knowledge and skills required to start working as a system administrator.
- to be able to use tools such as docker, lxc and kubernets
- have a basic understanding of the technologies and tools used for deployment of software system (dev-ops)
Course content
Installation, configuration and maintenance of Unix systems. Configuration of routing, DNS, time services, storage systems and network storage. Tools and platform for deployment such as docker and kubernets.
Teaching and working methods
The course consists of a series of laboratory exercises and a number of lectures. During the course, participants will:
- plan and structure the work in a team to implement a system that meets given requirements;
- evaluate alternative solutions to select the solution that best meets system requirements as well as external constraints;
- be exposed to realistic scenarios and learn to adapt plans and solutions to chaning external constraints.
