Ubuntu Training in Durham

In an IT environment that increasingly demands flexibility and cost-efficiency, transitioning to open-source infrastructure is no longer just a choice—it is a strategic imperative. While your team is currently adept in Windows environments, the inability to effectively leverage Linux creates a significant bottleneck in deploying modern, scalable web applications and storage solutions.

The Solution: This comprehensive 5-Day Accelerated Program is designed to bridge this skills gap. We do not merely teach commands; we transform Windows-centric administrators into confident Linux System Engineers. By the end of this course, your team will have the capability to deploy secure web servers, manage networked storage, and—crucially—implement centralized identity management using Active Directory protocols on Linux.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Deploy & Secure: Install Ubuntu Server from scratch and secure it with industry-standard SSH practices.
• Manage Identity: Configure and manage Active Directory services using Samba to centralize user accounts and authentication (LDAP).
• Automate: Write Bash scripts to automate repetitive maintenance tasks.
• Host: Deploy and maintain production-ready web servers (Apache/Nginx).

This training program is tailored to enhance the capabilities of your IT team, ensuring they are well-equipped to meet the evolving demands of modern IT infrastructure for government operations.

This course has been developed for government managers, system architects, current Unix or Windows administrators, and anyone seeking to understand the capabilities of the Ubuntu Server operating system. The focus is primarily on what Ubuntu Server can do for you, rather than detailed instructions on how to perform specific tasks. For those interested in hands-on technical guidance, we recommend our Administration of Linux Systems training course. This course always incorporates the latest release of Ubuntu, ensuring that participants receive up-to-date information and insights relevant to their roles for government.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at system administrators who wish to use Ubuntu to set up and manage network devices, virtual machines, and containers within a secure, customizable, and user-friendly operating system for government. By the end of this training, participants will be able to: - Set up the necessary environment to manage network devices, virtual machines, and cloud images using Ubuntu. - Understand the features and advantages of Ubuntu and its various editions. - Configure network devices and security measures using bash and sudo shell commands. - Utilize the technologies (such as OpenStack) and tools available in Ubuntu to manage virtualization and cloud containers. - Learn how to set up and configure mail servers (Dovecot, Exim4, and Postfix) and web servers (Apache) within the Ubuntu environment.
