Practice labs
- Get to know a server in ten commands: In ten minutes you run ten commands gathering version, disk, memory, network, service and user details and produce a summary file.
- Clear three small faults in fifteen minutes: You find and fix a wrong permission, a stopped service and a missing DNS setting in turn and verify each.
- Find the fault on a server with no briefing: Starting only from the fact that the application is down you work layer by layer to find and clear a randomly chosen fault.
- Administration tasks: a fifteen-minute set: In fifteen minutes you complete four tasks covering a user, a group, a package and a scheduled job.
- Security tasks: a twenty-minute set: In twenty minutes you do sudo rule, ACL, firewall and SSH hardening tasks and verify them with the checker.
- Timed mix across four domains: In twenty-five minutes you finish a set with a storage extension, a service repair, a script fix and an access problem.
- Redo a missed task on a clean server: You redo a task you scored nothing on in the last mock on a reset server and get full marks from the checker.
- Prove your work survives a reboot: After completing three tasks you reboot the server and check that the mount, service and network settings persisted.
- Run a round with a time budget per domain: You set a time for each task in advance, finish a twenty-five-minute mixed round within budget and record where you drifted.
