Here's What You'll Learn
When you start this course, you will create a Linux development and test environment by using the popular DevOps tool, Vagrant.
Next, you'll learn the fundamentals of the Linux command line. This section of the course is perfect for those who are new to Linux or need a refresher. Of course, if you're an experienced Linux professional, you can skip ahead.
From there, you'll how to deploy one of the most widely used open-source software stacks for the web, the LAMP stack. You'll use your skills to install and configure two web applications: The first is a helpdesk solution, and the other is a project management system.
Following that, you'll create a system and service availability monitoring system using Icinga 2. You'll practice adding servers to the monitoring system, along with all the services that run on those servers. Of course, you'll want to be able to send notifications and alerts in the case of an issue or outage, so you'll learn how to configure your servers to send email as well.
During the next project in this course, you'll implement a metrics collection system, along with a data visualization solution. You'll learn how to send all the performance data from your Linux systems to a centralized location, where you can create individual graphs and even complete dashboards that will help you track the overall performance of the applications in your environment, your storage needs, and even assist you with capacity planning. You'll do all this with popular DevOps tools, including Telegraf, InfluxDB, and Grafana.
Next, you'll implement a centralized syslog monitoring solution by deploying the ELK Stack which consists of ElasticSearch, Logstash, and Kibana. This allows you to efficiently analyze and visualize system log data. You can use the ELK stack to quickly troubleshoot problems, identify anomalies, and even detect security threats before they become a serious issue.
Finally, you'll learn another critical DevOps skill: Shell Scripting. You'll develop shell scripting techniques that will allow you to automate the installation and deployment of systems and applications.
