This specialization provides a comprehensive pathway for mastering SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16 (SLES 16) administration, progressing from foundational skills to advanced enterprise integration.
The first course, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16: Foundations and Core Administration, introduces essential concepts such as installation, command-line operations, user management, storage administration, software management, and key system tools. Learners develop the skills needed to deploy and manage SLES 16 in physical, virtual, and cloud environments.
Building on this foundation, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16: Advanced Networking, Security, and Automation explores remote administration, network configuration, firewall management, SELinux security, and automation using system roles. Learners also gain experience with Cockpit for system monitoring and Podman for container management, helping secure enterprise Linux systems.
The final course, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16: Enterprise Integration and Practice, focuses on integrating SLES 16 with enterprise applications, supporting specialized workloads such as SLES for SAP Applications, and maintaining system reliability through advanced administration practices. Scenario-based exercises reinforce readiness for real-world IT environments.
This specialization is based on the book, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16 Official Administration Guide, by Miguel Pérez Colino, Sergio Ocón Cárdenas and Pablo Iranzo Gómez.
