Systems thinking

Understand how Linux infrastructure connects.

Linux administration is not a collection of isolated commands. It is a connected system of users, processes, filesystems, networks, services, storage, security and applications.

Administrator Commands, policies, configuration and operational decisions.
→
Shell / CLI Command interpretation, scripting and system interaction.
Users & Permissions Identity, groups, ownership and authorization.
→
Processes & Services Applications, system services, jobs and runtime state.
Linux Operating Environment

Kernel + User Space + Filesystem + Networking + Services

Storage Disks, filesystems, mounts, swap and logical storage.
→
Networking Interfaces, routes, DNS, sockets, ports and remote access.
Security Authentication, authorization, policies, patching and logs.
→
Automation Bash, scheduling, configuration workflows and repeatability.
