Hi, I'm your host Sophie and I'm here
with our subject matter expert, Don.
We're here to tell you a little
bit about the course L Pick2.
So Don, you're the subject matter
engineer for the SME for this course,
can you tell us a little
bit about yourself?
Sure, so, I've been working with
Linux and one from another since 1992,
basically right around
the time when it came out.
So I've got a lot of experience in the
field, I've worked in the financial and
insurance industry.
So, I've supported production Linux
environments that have handled tens of
thousands of employees and
customers, very active environments.
And I get to bring a lot of that knowledge
into what we do right here on the show.
So, we're gonna be learning about
everything we need for L pick 2, but we're
also gonna be learning a little bit about
how it's used out there in the real world,
which is a lot of fun.
So before I take this course,
are there any prerequisites or
training that I should have first?
All right, well,
I know this is called L pick2,
but it's a little bit confusing because
it's actually L pick two, part two.
So, if you are watching this show,
you're expected to have all of
the knowledge from both parts of L pick
one and the first part of L pick two.
Now, L pick 1 and
Linux+ basically are identical.
So either one will do and
with the first part of L pick one or
L pick two is actually the 201-4 50 course
we expect you to have that knowledge
either to have watched the course or
to just have the relevant knowledge
from your own experience.
If you're just getting started,
this episode or
this course might not be the right place
for, you should consider jumping all
the way back to the L pick one first and
working your way up to here.
So, what are some topics that we're
gonna be covering in this course?
Well, that's one of the neat
things about this course,
we cover a lot of really cool stuff.
You're gonna see how to actually configure
services, we'll bring up DNS servers,
web servers, things like Apache,
like we'll actually see how to
bring up a web server on Linux.
So it's not just
the operating system anymore,
now it's focusing on some of the services.
We'll do some neat authentication, will
set up an open lDAP authentication system
for our machines to authenticate with.
We'll even authenticate against an active
directory server because why not, right?.
We need to learn how to do this,
we use them out there in the real world.
And on the security side,
we'll see a little bit about
hardening Linux servers as well as
using things like open VPN to set up a VPN
server and VPN client infrastructure.
So, really cool things that you
actually use in the real world,
it's a lot of neat stuff.
And once we finish this course,
is there a certification or
an exam tied to the course?
Yeah, this is all tied to the L
pick to engineer certification or
the Linux Professional Institute
certification level two,
that's what this is.
Now, to get the certification,
you have to pass the 201-4 50 exam and
the 202-450 exam.
This particular course
is just the 202-450,
you need to watch the other course for
201.
Once you've got both under your belt,
you take the exams,
each exam is just 60 questions you have,
I believe it's 90 minutes.
You can take it through Pearson view,
and when you take the exam and pass,
once you pass both of them, you're
awarded the LPIC2 engineer certification.
And since you're gonna be
leading us through this course,
what are you most excited about?
I'm excited about doing real workloads,
right?
A lot of times when we do Linux training
like this, we're focused on things that
are important, how the colonel works or
how do you install software.
But it's really kind of these
vague general concepts and and
foundational knowledge, but
in this course we do real skills.
You need to build a web server,
we're going to build a web server,
you need to build DNS,
we're going to build a DNS server, so
we get to run through those processes.
And this is the skill that you can
actually take and use in the workplace.
So that's really exciting to me,
this to me is the real work that
we can get done with Linux.
Well, if all that sounds interesting
to you, then you're in the right place.
So stay tuned,
we'll get ready to dive into LPIC.
Thank you for watching ITPro TV.
