Overview

Become a Linux power user!

Overview:

  • Learn the ins and outs of Linux Internals and discover what makes Linux the most powerful operating system
  • Get under the hood and understand how Linux really works
  • Perform in-depth practical investigations of key Linux functionalities

Linux Under the Hood offers an extensive exploration of how Linux functions, allowing you to fully harness its capabilities. Familiarizing yourself with Linux internals will allow you to surpass mere commands and gain valuable insights to optimize your use of Linux.

The first module dives into a deeper understanding of Linux architecture; you will learn about the inner workings of key Linux components like the kernel, systemd, and the Linux boot procedure. The following module will focus on storage and filesystems, encompassing local devices as well as cloud and datacenter storage solutions. Next, we will cover core components, including memory, processes, and the intricacies of command execution. Finally, we will explore Linux's evolution into a container-based platform.

Each lesson concludes with a real-world scenario, where Sander demonstrates the practical implementation of various features explained in the lesson videos.
