projectatomic Project Atomic: Re-designing the operating system with the LDK (Linux, Docker, Kubernetes) stack. 14 hours

Project Atomic is an umbrella for many projects related to re-designing the operating system around principles of "immutable infrastructure", using the LDK (Linux, Docker, Kubernetes) stack.

Many of the components of Project Atomic are upstream components of OpenShift Origin v3.

The primary building block of Project Atomic is the "Atomic Host", a lightweight container OS. Project Atomic also encompasses other tools which are essential to immutable, container-based infrastructures, including:
    Cockpit gives visibility into your hosts and your container cluster.
    Many patches and extensions to Docker for better SELinux and Systemd integration.
    AtomicApp and Nulecule for composing multi-container applications.
    Atomic Registry for registering your containers.
    Commissaire to provide a better API for Kubernetes hosts.
    The Atomic Developer Bundle to make development of containerized applications easy.

This training introduces the architecture, components and tools behind Project Atomic and walks participants through the deployment and integration of these in a live lab environment.

ulshscr UNIX/Linux Shell Scripting 14 hours

This 2 day course gives an introduction to the writing of UNIX Shell scripts using the Korn and Bash shells and to the more advanced features of UNIX including the batch editor sed and the text file processing language awk.

Although based on the Solaris version of UNIX running on a desktop PC, the principles learnt may be applied to all other versions of UNIX including Linux, AIX, HP-UX and SCO.

The course takes the format of a workshop, with a mix of lecture, working examples and practical exercises. Although the content may be customised, at least 1 day is normally needed to cover the core elements.

Full course notes are provided along with sample script files and free software tools for use in accessing a UNIX server.
