LPI High Availability & Storage Clusters (LPIC306)
The LPIC-306, Linux High Availability & Storage clusters course teaches you the skills needed by a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to build and maintain reliable systems. The focus is on highly available, fault-tolerant and resilient system engineering.
The skills and knowledge gained with this course will enable you to build and maintain robust systems that can withstand failure and recover. Learn how to leverage native Linux solutions to architect a solution for your own infrastructure requirements.
LPIC-306 Course Objectives
