Introduction to Linux Containers (LXC) Training Course

This practical course contains topics addressed to system administrators, developers, embedded developers and ordinary desktop users (including managers) who would like to have an introduction to virtualization in general. After this course, administrators will be able to create private clouds for use in production, and developers will be able to test their code on multiple operating systems without needing a second PC or a non-x86 board.

We understand that the set of topics presented in this course covered a wide range of subjects that might not be applicable for all customers. When booking this course, please specify what you wish to achieve using QEMU or KVM, and we will customize it by reallocating time from less relevant topics to the ones that would be important for you.

DC/OS (Distributed Cloud Operating System) is an open-source distributed operating system built upon the Apache Mesos project. Apache Mesos was built using the same principles as the Linux kernel, only at a different level of abstraction. The Mesos kernel runs on every machine and provides applications such as Hadoop, Spark, Kafka and Elasticsearch with API’s for resource management and scheduling across entire datacenter and cloud environments. Apache Mesos abstracts CPU, memory, storage, and other compute resources away from machines (physical or virtual), enabling fault-tolerant and elastic distributed systems to easily be built and run effectively.

DC/OS brings together Mesos and more than 30 applications into one coherent system, similar to how a Linux distribution packages the Linux kernel with applications to create a working operating system.

This course provides participants with an overview of Apache Mesos and DC/OS and demonstrates through hands-on practice how to deploy and manage a complete Data Center Operating System.

Alpine Linux is a security-oriented, lightweight (80 MB) Linux distribution based on musl libc and BusyBox. Alpine Linux is produced by the makers of Docker and is one of several in the recent proliferation of distros tailored for virtualization, containerization and the cloud. Alpine Linux replaces Ubuntu as the official base image for Docker containers.

This training introduces Alpine Linux's architecture and walks participants step-by-step through the setup of Alpine Linux in a live lab environment. By the end of this training, participants will have the knowledge and practice to deploy Alpine Linux as the foundation for running containers in development, test and production environments.

Audience

• DevOps engineers
• System administrators

This instructor-led, live training in Switzerland (online or onsite) is aimed at penetration testers who wish to penetrate test networks in Kali Linux using Python.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Create Python programs to seek network vulnerabilities.
• Explore and use Kali web shells and shellcode in exploits.
• Apply various Kali tools for penetration testing.
• Exploit systems with Python.

This instructor-led, live training in Switzerland (online or onsite) is aimed at DevOps engineers and developers who wish to use Podman to create, run, and manage containers and pods as a non-root user.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Podman in rootless mode.
• Build and run containers, container images, and pods.
• Manage container networking and lifecycle.
• Use Podman instead of Docker for creating and deploying containerized applications.

Docker is a platform for developers and sysadmins to maintain distributed applications. It consists of a runtime to run containers and a service for sharing containers.

With docker the same app can run unchanged on laptops, dedicated servers and virtual servers.

This course teaches the basic usage of Docker, useful both for developers and system administrators. The course includes a lot of hands on exercises and the participants will practice in their own Docker environment and build their own Docker images during the 2 days.

Training objectives: Acquire theoretical and operational skills on Docker and Kubernetes.

The objective of this practical course is to provide all the tools that address the practical aspects of Docker and Kubernetes, in order that the participants can count on the necessary skills for the proper management of the program.

Docker is a platform for developers and sysadmins to maintain distributed applications. It consists of a runtime to run containers and a service for sharing containers.

With docker the same app can run unchanged on laptops, dedicated servers and virtual servers.

This course, during the two first days, teaches the basic usage of Docker, useful both for developers and system administrators. The course includes a lot of hands on exercises and the participants will practice in their own Docker environment and build their own Docker images.

On the last day participants will learn about more advanced tools that supports Docker. It will be Docker Machine, Docker Compose and Docker Swarm.

This instructor-led, live course in Switzerland provides participants with an overview of Rancher and demonstrates through hands-on practice how to deploy and manage a Kubernetes cluster with Rancher.

In this instructor-led, live training in Switzerland (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to create and manage Docker containers, then deploy a sample application inside a container. Participants will also learn how to automate, scale, and manage their containerized applications within a Kubernetes cluster. Finally, the training goes on to more advanced topics, walking participants through the process of securing, scaling and monitoring a Kubernetes cluster.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up and run a Docker container.
• Deploy a containerized server and web application.
• Build and manage Docker images.
• Set up a Docker and Kubernetes cluster.
• Use Kubernetes to deploy and manage a clustered web application.
• Secure, scale and monitor a Kubernetes cluster.

In this instructor-led, live training in Switzerland (online or onsite), participants will learn how to install, configure, and manage OpenShift Container Platform v4.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Undersand OCI (Open Containers Initiative) and its implications for using container enginees such as Docker in OpenShift.
• Understand the relationship between the different versions of OpenShift (OKP, OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat OpenShift, etc.).
• Create, configure, manage, and troubleshoot an OpenShift cluster.
• Implement Openshift's self-manage capabilities to improve platform stability and consistency.
• Secure OpenShift Container Platform.
• Monitor and gather metrics.
• Manage storage.
• Upgrade an OpenShift Container Platform 3 cluster to OpenShift Container Platform 4.
