About the course
Develop practical knowledge of cloud operating systems, configuration, and security through a series of self-paced, hands-on labs.
The course introduces cloud-based Linux environments, including installing Kali Cloud Linux and updating Ubuntu Cloud Edition, while exploring the essential tasks involved in configuring, maintaining, and securing operating systems deployed in cloud environments.
Learners will work through practical scenarios involving SSH key configuration, TCP/IP networking, adding services to a cloud operating system, and using hashing functions to support data integrity and security.
Additional labs cover configuring an IoT cloud device, viewing and analysing system logs, conducting controlled penetration testing against a cloud operating system, and implementing security measures to strengthen cloud-based systems.
The labs connect cloud computing concepts with practical system administration and security techniques, helping learners understand remote access management, network configuration, service deployment, log monitoring, and system hardening.
Activities also highlight the importance of secure configurations, access control, integrity verification, and identifying potential vulnerabilities in cloud-hosted operating systems.
By completing the labs, learners will develop foundational skills in cloud Linux administration, SSH security, TCP/IP configuration, service management, hashing, IoT cloud connectivity, log analysis, penetration testing, and secure operating system implementation.
The course provides a practical foundation for further study in cloud administration, Linux security, and cloud cybersecurity. Penetration testing activities should be conducted only in authorised, controlled lab environments.
