This book is, in my opinion, pretty impressive; set into four major parts or sections, it really does cover the key things a modern Linux sysadmin must know.The book begins (Part 1) with a gentle learning curve – to all things a budding Linux sysadmin might require to know. Part 2 then moves you into a bit of deeper detail – on learning about and managing filesystems, the network, Bash scripting (with practical examples), and even securing a modern Linux system. I learned new stuff here: about Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP), and more on SELinux and AppArmor!Cloud-based sysadmin techniques, including working with Linux’s powerful KVM hypervisor, and managing containers with Docker, form the next major part (Part 3).Part 4 of the book is a wholly devoted to modern cloud administration tech on Linux. It begins with an introduction to cloud computing, which covers the now well-known (at least it should be!) [X]aaS solutions, DevOps, and common cloud management tools (including Ansible and Puppet). The book then goes further! - the last two chapters get into the details of (the very popular) Kubernetes app deployment and automation with Ansible.The book’s GitHub site has all the source-level code examples and config fragments. All in all, a great read for budding as well as experienced Linux sysadmin’s / users on a modern Linux (cloud) environment.

I say it's the best book on Linux administration because of his thorough coverage. The book goes into the fundamentals of administering the Linux system and then covers the advance components including virtual machines and containers. Containers are used a lot today in the cloud, many companies are moving towards this and this makes this the right book at the right time.

You can tell this was written by someone with some real experience, and the best part is its written without the extra fluff. Its to the point, informational, but well written for the reader to understand. This should go on every Linux admins shelf.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.
