Linux Administration Certification
Linux is the preferred choice of OS over Windows, amongst programmers and developers. Linux is free and can be downloaded and customized as per a user’s needs. It is an open-source operating system, which is highly robust and adaptable. Another advantage of Linux is the immense number of libraries and utilities it carries. Besides the reasons mentioned above, there are other key aspects of Linux which make it a popular choice in the server market. To begin with, Linux is cost-effective, technically superior, and more secure in nature. Also, Linux’s involvement in emerging cloud infrastructure is a reason for its growth.

Project-Based Learning
Collabera’s Linux Administration Training also involves a project on Linux Administration to give you hands-on experience on the platform. The project would involve a series of activities that one needs to perform on a daily basis as a Linux Administrator. Creation of users and groups, setting permissions for them, taking data backups, restricting access to specific users, copying or moving files, managing processes and services, and performing system security are a part of the Linux Administrator project. Apart from these activities, the project also includes training on partitioning and other features, taking security measures for the protection of the environment, configuring different types of servers, and writing shell scripts.
Advantages of Linux Administration Training
94% of the world’s supercomputers are powered by Linux. The maximum number of servers powering the internet, and innumerable Android devices, work on Linux. The world’s most popular websites, vis-a-vis Google and Facebook, are working on Linux servers as well.
