Ubuntu Training in Gaia

In an IT landscape that increasingly demands flexibility and cost-efficiency, moving to open-source infrastructure is no longer just an "option"—it is a strategic necessity. Your team is currently proficient in Windows environments, but the inability to leverage Linux effectively creates a bottleneck in deploying modern, scalable web applications and storage solutions.

The Solution: This comprehensive 5-Day Accelerated Program is designed to bridge that skills gap. We do not just teach "commands"; we transform Windows-centric administrators into confident Linux System Engineers. By the end of this course, your team will possess the capability to deploy secure web servers, manage networked storage, and—crucially—implement centralized identity management using Active Directory protocols on Linux.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Deploy & Secure: Install Ubuntu Server from scratch and secure it with industry-standard SSH practices.
• Manage Identity: (New) Configure and manage Active Directory services using Samba to centralize user accounts and authentication (LDAP).
• Automate: Write Bash scripts to automate repetitive maintenance tasks.
• Host: Deploy and maintain production-ready web servers (Apache/Nginx).

This course has been created for managers, system architects, existing Unix or Windows administrators or anyone who wants to know what Ubuntu Server operating system has to offer. This course in most cases answers the question WHAT Ubuntu Server can do for you, rather than HOW to do things. If you are interested in the HOW question then please have a look at our Administration of Linux System training course.

This course always covers the newest release of Ubuntu.

This instructor-led, live training in Gaia (online or onsite) is aimed at system administrators who wish to use Ubuntu to set up and manage network devices, virtual machines, and containers in a secure, customizable, and user-friendly operating system.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up the necessary environment to manage network devices, virtual machines, and cloud images with Ubuntu.
• Understand the features and advantages of Ubuntu and the different variants.
• Configure network devices and security using bash and sudo shell commands.
• Use the technologies (such as OpenStack) and tools available in Ubuntu to manage virtualization and cloud containers.
• Learn how to set up and configure mail servers (Dovecot, Exim4, and Postfix) and web servers (Apache) in Ubuntu.
