Mastering Linux Administration: Take your sysadmin skills to the next level by configuring and maintaining Linux systems (2nd ed. Edition)

Abstract

“This book is, in my opinion, pretty impressive! Set into four major parts, it covers the key things a modern Linux sysadmin must know. The book begins (Part 1) with a gentle learning curve, focusing on all the things a budding Linux sysadmin might need to know. Part 2 delves into the details, guiding you through managing filesystems, Bash scripting (with practical examples), and even securing a modern Linux system. I particularly learned new things, including Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP), and more on SELinux and AppArmor! Cloud-based sysadmin techniques, such as working with Linux’s powerful KVM hypervisor and managing containers with Docker form the next major part (Part 3). Part 4 of the book is wholly devoted to modern cloud administration tech on Linux. The book’s GitHub site has all the source-level code examples and config fragments. All in all, a great read for budding as well as experienced Linux sysadmins working with a modern Linux (cloud) environment.” Kaiwan N Billimoria, Owner, kaiwanTECH (a division of Designer Graphix) | Author | Linux Consultant and Trainer
