Program Overview: What is Ubuntu Linux Administration?
Ubuntu Linux Administration is Edstellar's instructor-led technical program for system administrators, DevOps engineers, and support teams managing Ubuntu servers in production. Participants master installation, core administration, networking, storage and backup, security hardening, and shell scripting automation. The emphasis is on production reality: systems that stay up, stay patched, and recover fast.
Training is hands-on across 28 hours and seven modules, all in live lab environments. Participants install and configure Ubuntu systems, troubleshoot networking and storage failures, and harden servers against real attack patterns, with instructor coaching at every step. Every lab is reviewed with direct feedback, so your team learns the difference between a command that works and a configuration that survives. The program closes with a five-and-a-half-hour capstone: a fully hardened, production-ready Ubuntu deployment.
Teams running Linux without deep administration skills pay for it in downtime: misconfigured services, silent backup failures, and security gaps discovered by attackers first. This program teaches your engineers to administer Ubuntu deliberately, from installation standards to hardening checklists and backup verification. The result is infrastructure that your team understands instead of fears.
The capstone gives each participant a bare server and a mission: deliver a hardened, production-ready Ubuntu deployment with services configured, users and access locked down, backups verified by actual restore, and monitoring wired in. Instructors attack it, literally, probing the hardening and breaking what they can. The artifact is a deployment checklist and a hardened image recipe the team can replicate across their estate with confidence.
Seven modules and 28 hours: installation and core administration, networking, storage and backups, security hardening, and automation scripting. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab, so each technique is practiced. It closes with a capstone deployment the team plans, hardens, documents, and presents.
Delivery is hybrid across virtual and onsite sessions, scheduled around your calendar. Cohorts train as one group or split into batches, with session materials and lab guides included for every participant.
