What you’ll learn
Build advanced administration capability with Oracle Linux 9 and gain the confidence to manage security, networking, and performance in demanding environments. Learn how to apply the concepts covered on this course to other Linux based distributions including Red Hat (RHEL), Fedora, CentOS and Amazon Linux.
Advanced networking and file sharing
Discover how to configure complex network setups using Ethernet bonding, channel bonding and Virtual LANs during this course. Learn how to deploy secure, enterprise-level file sharing with NFS and Samba, while automating mounts using AutoFS. You’ll also configure FTP servers and learn to manage socket units for efficient service control.
System security and auditing
Strengthen your Linux environment with practical skills in SELinux configuration, auditing, and intrusion prevention. Discover how to analyse denials, apply user and port contexts, and build custom policy modules. You’ll also configure auditing for better visibility and use tools such as AIDE and Fail2Ban to monitor integrity and block unauthorised access.
Service and volume management
Explore how to create, manage and monitor Systemd service, timer and mount units. Learn to build robust storage solutions with Logical Volume Management, from setting up and expanding volumes to resizing filesystems. You’ll also configure RAID arrays and recover from drive failures, which are critical skills for ensuring stable, enterprise-grade Linux systems..
Performance monitoring and Kubernetes
Gain essential performance tuning skills by monitoring system processes, memory usage and I/O throughput. You’ll identify bottlenecks and optimise Linux system behaviour for peak efficiency. The course also introduces Kubernetes, giving you the knowledge to install clusters, manage Pods, and work with namespaces to support container-based applications in modern enterprise environments.

FAQs
Our Oracle Linux 9 Advanced Administration course explores administration topics including secure networking, file sharing, storage management, system performance, and container orchestration using Kubernetes in enterprise environments.
What are the prerequisites for this course?
To get the most from this course, you should already have experience with Oracle Linux system administration. Ideally, this means completing training equivalent to the Oracle Linux 9 Administration course, as the content builds on those core skills to cover more advanced and enterprise-focused administration tasks.
Does this course help prepare for Oracle certification?
Yes, this course closely aligns with the Oracle Linux 8 Advanced System Administrator certification exam (1Z0-106). It supports your exam preparation by providing real-world system administration scenarios, technical demonstrations and applied configuration tasks, helping reinforce the skills and knowledge required to work toward certification success.
Is this course suitable for Red Hat or CentOS users?
Yes, it is highly suitable for learners using Red Hat-based distributions. Although the course content is delivered using Oracle Linux, the administration techniques and concepts taught are fully transferable to other systems such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, Fedora and Amazon Linux.
Will I learn how to manage Kubernetes?
Yes, the course includes a comprehensive introduction to Kubernetes management. You will learn how to install Kubernetes, configure clusters, create and manage Pods, and work with namespaces. These skills support the deployment of containerised applications across Oracle Linux and other compatible enterprise environments.
Is security covered in detail?
Yes, advanced system security is a key focus of the course. You will work with tools such as SELinux, AIDE, Fail2Ban and PAM, as well as auditing frameworks. These are used to enhance system visibility, control access and strengthen overall security in enterprise Oracle Linux environments.
