Contents
Background
The Internet Society invites engineers from Africa to participate in an intensive online course titled “Introduction to Network Operations: UNIX/LINUX, Networking and DNS” This is an introductory course targeted at novice/entry-level UNIX/Linux users pursuing careers in Network or System Administration. This course provides the necessary skills to progress to more advanced topics in the future. This course is practically oriented and provides step-by-step guidance on how to configure a UNIX/Linux server and then run a Caching Domain Name System (DNS) server in a virtualized environment. The techniques covered in the course are applicable in real-world environments to set up Internet-ready caching DNS servers.
Trainees who complete the course will be awarded with a Certificate of Completion.
