Learning RHEL Networking

Chapter 1. Introducing Enterprise Linux 7

Welcome to the world of enterprise-level Linux version 7. This was first introduced to us on June 9, 2014. Red Hat started its journey with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 with its beta release on December 11, 2013. This was followed by the next release candidate on April 23. Finally, as expected, the gold release reached the market on June 2014. Currently, at the time of writing this book, we have Update 1 in the beta release. During the course of this book, this is what we will use for demonstration purposes.

This chapter will help you understand why enterprise-level Linux differs from other bleeding edge distributions. It will also help you understand the relationship between Red Hat, CentOS, and Fedora. We also hope that this short chapter will give you a great understanding on how to use RHEL 7 on your hardware platform of choice. The topics for this chapter are broken down as follows:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • CentOS
  • Fedora
  • Determining your distribution and version

Who is this book for?

This book is ideal for administrators who need to learn the networking abilities of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. You may not be a Linux administrator already, but you will need to be able to test files in Linux and navigate the filesystem.

What you will learn

  • Master the new time daemon, chronyd, and understand why it is used over the more traditional NTP
  • Delve inside the workings of the kernelbased iSCSI target that shares disks on your network
  • Share data with your Windows network and make use of their users and groups for authentication, without the need to replace your existing infrastructure
  • Shield your users and data from the everpresent dangers that exist on the Internet by implementing and understanding SELinux
  • Deploy Apache 2.4 and make use of its new features
  • Provide saleable and faulttolerant file systems with btrfs, more quickly than you could ever imagine
  • Protect your investment using the new firewalld process, enabling you to deploy firewall changes while the firewall is in place

What can I say, it's the Urban Penguin. This book is amazing. It really helped me to understand how to configure Networking via the SystemD framework. Book does a very good job breaking down the nuances you'll need to understand what's new and how it differs from the old. Amazing books. I would like to have had more on DNS concepts, but the Author did a great job with what he did include. I would give this book a 6 is I could.Thanks

A lot of the graphics are missing from the Kindle version. A lot to pay for a book that is missing a good part of it's content.

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
