Administering Linux

This covers the bread and butter of managing Linux servers: systemd services, process monitoring, filesystem operations, user management, and performance troubleshooting. It's focused on systemd-based distros like Ubuntu and RHEL, which is what you'll encounter in most cloud environments. The skill includes a solid troubleshooting workflow that walks through CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network bottlenecks systematically. You get practical examples like creating proper systemd unit files with security hardening and migrating from cron to systemd timers. It assumes you know basic commands but need the intermediate stuff that comes up when deploying apps or diagnosing production issues. It explicitly excludes advanced networking, deep security hardening, and container orchestration, keeping the scope focused on foundational admin tasks.
