Ubuntu Training in Gaia

In an IT landscape where flexibility and cost-effectiveness are increasingly critical, adopting open-source infrastructure has shifted from being a choice to becoming a strategic imperative. While your team may be well-versed in Windows environments, the lack of proficiency in Linux can hinder the deployment of modern, scalable web applications and storage solutions.

Solution: This intensive 5-Day Accelerated Program is specifically designed to close this skill gap. Rather than merely teaching commands, we empower Windows-centric administrators to become confident Linux System Engineers. By the conclusion of this course, your team will be equipped to deploy secure web servers, manage networked storage, and, most importantly, implement centralized identity management on Linux using Active Directory protocols.

Upon completing this training, participants will be able to:

• Deploy & Secure: Perform a from-scratch installation of Ubuntu Server and harden it using industry-standard SSH practices.
• Manage Identity: (New) Configure and administer Active Directory services via Samba to centralize user accounts and authentication (LDAP).
• Automate: Develop Bash scripts to streamline repetitive maintenance tasks.
• Host: Install and maintain production-grade web servers (Apache/Nginx).

This instructor-led live training in Gaia (online or on-site) is designed for 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.
