Summary
In this chapter, we took a deep dive into Linux, explaining the fundamental tasks of every Linux system administrator: managing software, the network, storage, and services.
Of course, as a Linux system administrator, this is not something you're going to do on a daily basis. Most likely, you're not going to do it manually, but automate or orchestrate it. But to be able to orchestrate it, you'll need to understand how it works and be able to verify and troubleshoot the configuration. This will be covered in Chapter 8, Exploring Continuous Configuration Automation.
In the next chapter, we will explore the options available in Linux that limit access to the system:
- Mandatory access control
- Network access control lists
- Firewalls
We'll also cover how to join Linux machines to the domain using Azure Active Directory Domain Services.
