About this course

This course covers some of the most important and in-demand skills in modern Linux administration: systemd service management, container technologies, and Linux security hardening. Covering expert instruction across systemd, Docker containers, access controls, file permissions, and Linux security frameworks, learners develop the skills to run secure, containerized Linux environments. Learners benefit by understanding how to manage services and system state with systemd, deploy and manage containers using Docker, implement discretionary and mandatory access controls, configure firewall rules, and apply SELinux or AppArmor policies to restrict system access. By the end of this course, learners will be able to manage Linux services with systemd, deploy containerized applications, and implement comprehensive Linux security controls.
