Red Hat Enterprise Deployment, Virtualization, and Systems Management Training Class

Our Red Hat Enterprise Deployment, Virtualization, and Systems Management training class is a five-day lab-based course that explores the concepts and methods necessary for successful large-scale deployment and management of Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. Course participants will learn how to install and use a Red Hat Network Satellite Server to deploy and manage systems in this virtualization training class. The use of virtualization technology as a key deployment tool is also examined.

Subjects covered in the Red Hat Enterprise Deployment, Virtualization, and Systems Management training course include: installing and managing a Red Hat Network Satellite Server; provisioning systems using RHN, DHCP, and PXE; using version control to maintain configuration files; and building custom RPMS. In addition, a substantial part of the Red Hat Enterprise Deployment, Virtualization, and Systems Management training class is dedicated to the use of Virtualization in systems deployment. Virtualization topics include: an overview of virtualization; installing, configuring, and managing virtual machines; understanding the hypervisor; using virtual machine snapshots; network configuration with virtualization.
