Server Management Done Right
You're running cloud infrastructure, but things keep breaking in ways you don't fully understand. This program covers what actually matters — from SSH hardening to incident response under pressure.
Over twelve weeks, you'll work through real server scenarios. By the end, you'll know how to configure production systems, automate deployments, and troubleshoot when things go wrong at 3 AM.

What You'll Actually Learn
Three focused tracks that build from basic server setup to production-level automation. Each module includes hands-on labs and real configuration files.
Linux Essentials
Command line navigation, process management, user permissions. You'll spend time in the terminal until it feels natural.
Network Configuration
DNS, firewalls, load balancers. Understanding how packets move and where they get blocked.
Storage Systems
File systems, block storage, object storage. When to use which and how to prevent data loss.
SSH Hardening
Key management, fail2ban configuration, port knocking. Making remote access both secure and usable.
Certificate Management
TLS setup, Let's Encrypt automation, certificate rotation. Keeping encryption keys valid without downtime.
Intrusion Detection
Log analysis, anomaly detection, incident response. Recognizing attacks and knowing what to do about them.
Ansible Basics
Playbooks, roles, variables. Writing automation that you can actually read six months later.
CI/CD Pipelines
GitLab CI, deployment strategies, rollback procedures. Getting code to production without breaking things.
Monitoring Setup
Prometheus, Grafana, alerting rules. Knowing when systems fail before users tell you.
