Learning Outcomes
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
Administer
Learn to administer XFS and Btrfs file systems, partition disks with tools such as gdisk and parted, and archive data using tar and gzip. You'll also explore snapshots, disk quotas, storage resizing, disk cloning, and backup strategies to safeguard data and support reliable system recovery.
Manage
Learn how to install, update, verify, and remove software packages using DNF and RPM. Gain hands-on experience managing repositories, resolving package dependencies, and applying security patches. You'll also discover how to use CVE information to identify vulnerabilities and keep Oracle Linux systems secure and up to date.
Develop
Develop the skills to monitor system health and optimise performance in Oracle Linux environments. Use tools such as top, ps, systemd, and journalctl to analyse processes, manage services, review logs, and troubleshoot performance issues.
Improve
Learn to schedule recurring and one-time jobs using cron, anacron, and at, while also configuring systemd timers for more advanced task automation. These capabilities help reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and simplify ongoing system administration.
