FAQs
Our Oracle Linux training blends live labs and instructor-led guidance to teach you the skills needed to effectively use these operating systems. The courses cover OS fundamentals, automation, security, and networking.
Which Oracle Linux course should I start with?
If you’re new to Linux or have limited command-line experience, Linux Introduction is the best place to start. It builds the essential skills and understanding needed to navigate the operating system.
Once you’re comfortable with the basics, you can progress to Linux Fundamentals or Oracle Linux 9 Administration, depending on your goals and whether you’re aiming for general Linux skills or focusing on Oracle environments.
What’s the difference between Oracle Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
Oracle Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) are based on the same open-source framework, meaning the same software packages and commands apply. The key difference lies in support and licensing: Oracle Linux is free to download and use, with optional paid support, while RHEL requires a subscription for official updates and support.
Oracle Linux also offers additional features such as Ksplice for zero-downtime kernel updates, DTrace for performance monitoring, and tight integration with Oracle Cloud. Training in Oracle Linux gives you transferable skills relevant across both platforms and vendor environments.
Is Oracle Linux suitable for cloud and hybrid deployments?
Oracle Linux is designed with cloud and hybrid environments in mind. It supports secure, scalable deployments across both on-premise infrastructure and major cloud platforms. With built-in tools for virtualisation, containerisation and automation, it offers the flexibility and control needed for modern IT operations.
Does Oracle Linux support automation tools like Ansible?
Oracle Linux fully supports Ansible and other automation tools commonly used in enterprise environments. Ansible can be used to automate system configuration, application deployment, patching, and other repetitive tasks, making it an ideal choice for managing Oracle Linux at scale.
Our Linux Automation with Ansible course is specifically designed to help you apply these tools effectively within a Linux environment. Gain experience using Ansible to manage Oracle Linux systems, learning how to write playbooks, create roles, use modules and integrate automation into your workflow.

What our customers say
Testimonial
Exceptional training
“I attended this course as I have very little knowledge and experience using Linux. I was nervous before the training started in case I wouldn't be able to keep up due to my inexperience. I didn't need to worry at all as the course and manual was exactly what I needed. Mark was an exceptional trainer. He was patient and delivered the training in a way that was easily digestible.”
