Linux skills aren’t one‑size‑fits‑all; they support different responsibilities across IT roles. Systems administrators use Linux to manage servers, implement backups, and ensure uptime. Network engineers rely on Linux‑based tools for monitoring and troubleshooting. DevOps teams automate deployments with containers and continuous integration tools that run on Linux. Cloud and Kubernetes platforms are built on Linux, and virtualization and data‑centre engineers need Linux expertise for optimal performance. Below, you’ll find Linux training grouped by role to help you find the right path quickly.
