Linux Server Administration Manage Web Servers and Cloud Environments

Course Information

This comprehensive course will guide you through Linux Server Administration, focusing on managing web servers, databases, and cloud-based Linux environments. You will start by learning essential Linux commands and how to configure and optimize server environments for performance and security.

Next, you’ll explore web server management, including setting up and managing popular web servers like Apache and Nginx. You’ll also learn database management techniques, covering MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL, to ensure efficient and secure database operations.

Throughout the course, you will gain hands-on experience by setting up and managing multiple server environments, simulating real-world scenarios. Each project will help you master tasks like server monitoring, resource optimization, and automated backups. You’ll also dive into advanced topics such as cloud integration, configuring firewalls, setting up VPNs, and implementing security best practices.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills to manage and secure Linux servers effectively, deploy scalable web applications, and integrate cloud services for efficient, production-ready server environments.
