Learn how system administrators run the Linux operating system on cloud services, from private and public virtualization to KVM, AWS EC2, and Azure with Docker integration.
Learn how Linux with KVM functions as a type one hypervisor to host virtual machines. Build a private cloud using QEMU, libvirt, and virt-manager for management.
Configure KVM storage on a Linux host with virt-manager; move libvirt images to a storage pool, set up mount/storage and ISO directories, and prepare the host to run virtual machines.
plan host resources and install media for a kvm guest. create a vm with cpu, memory, and qcow2 disk in a storage pool, then manage via virt-manager.
Learn to spin up a Linux instance in Amazon EC2 by choosing an AMI, selecting instance type and storage, configuring security groups, and weighing pricing and OS options.
Log into EC2 instances using certificate-based ssh, manage users and permissions, and back up data with EBS snapshots while updating and securing Red Hat, Debian, and Ubuntu systems.
Configure a Linux EC2 instance by assigning an Elastic IP, securing access with security groups, and using a VPC for private networking, with awareness of IP cost implications.
Spin up Linux VMs on Azure, compare Ubuntu, CentOS, Red Hat, and SUSE offerings, choose appropriate VM sizes (D-series, F-series, E-series, L-series), and understand regional pricing and custom images.
Configure a static public IP with reverse DNS, and tune the Azure network security group for http/https while setting up backups with a vault and daily, weekly, monthly policies.
Explore how linux in the cloud uses docker containers to standardize development and production environments. Install and secure docker on a linux host with user namespace remapping and registry control.
The "Linux in the Cloud" course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills required to effectively utilize Linux-based systems and applications in cloud computing environments. As the demand for cloud-based solutions continues to grow, this course empowers individuals to harness the power of Linux within cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and others.
The Linux in the Cloud focuses on implementing the Linux operating system in a virtualized environment. Companies are relying less and less on dedicated hardware and are instead turning to shared hardware to optimize resource utilization and increase deployment flexibility. The hosts demonstrate virtualizing Linux using technologies like KVM and Docker as well as public cloud deployments using Amazon EC2 and Microsoft Azure.
Understand and leverage KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) virtualization technology to run Linux-based virtual machines in cloud computing environments.
Learn the deployment and management of Linux-based virtual servers in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
Understand and utilize Microsoft Azure, a leading cloud computing platform, for running and managing Linux-based virtual machines (VMs).
Gain knowledge and practical skills required to effectively utilize Docker containers for deploying and managing Linux-based applications in cloud computing environments.
