Description
This course is primarily based on a series of tutorials aimed at introducing the vocabulary and fundamental principles of network and system administration.
It helps in understanding how a deployed IT solution interacts with its hardware or virtualised environment.
These tutorials will take place in a UNIX environment and will cover the following topics:
- basic commands and scripting,
- storage management,
- how a local network works (addresses, ports, protocols),
- programming with common network protocols,
- routing, firewalls, network architecture,
- common network infrastructure services,
- user and permissions management,
- encryption, authentication and security,
- basic use of containers,
- programming a containerised application,
- minimising the size of containerised application images,
- container orchestration platform.
Beyond these practical aspects, documents addressing the issue of resources used by the deployment of IT solutions will also be studied.
