Objective

Purpose of the course
You learn to design and implement the most common infrastructure services with Linux applications.

Competences:
EUR-ACE Knowledge and understanding
EUR-ACE Engineering practice

Competence goal of the course
You will know the most common infrastructure services produced on Linux and the applications they are produced on. You know how to plan and implement the deployment of service-producing applications, manage services and the content connected to them. You understand how the services produced with Linux are connected. You know how to harden applications that produce services and implement their implementation in accordance with general best practices.

Content

Most common Linux application services:
- Web servers (Apache, NGINX)
- Application backends (PHP-FPM, Node.js, Java)
- Proxy servers
- File servers (SMB, NFS)
- DNS servers
- Mail servers (MTA, MDA, webmail)

Also important general server components:
- System service units
- sendmail program and local mail delivery
- LDAP authentication
- alternatives -system

Security and hardening:
- Linux firewall structure
- SELinux
- TLS, OpenSSL usage

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Sufficient: The student knows what infrastructure services are generally offered with Linux applications. The student can implement the service according to common configurations.

Satisfactory 2: The student understands the common operational models of Linux infrastructure services. The student is able to design and implement a service requiring simple configuration.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Good 3: The student understand the common operational models of Linux infrastructure services and the existing best practices regarding them. The student is able to design and implement a service according to best practices.
