Admin Training & Workshops
Digital Independence Starts in the Mind
Switching to Open Source is more than a technology change — it requires new ways of thinking, new tools, and time for your team to internalize them. We support this process with training and workshops that meet your team where they are today.
Understanding Instead of Just Managing
GUIs abstract things away. That’s often convenient, but sometimes they also hide what’s really happening. Our workshops reveal the underlying mechanisms — reading logs, understanding processes, tracing configurations. Those who understand the system can also fix it.
Our Approach
Gradual Migration in Waves
Nobody gets thrown in at the deep end. We plan together which systems will be migrated when, and train your team step by step — alongside ongoing operations. Each wave brings new skills without overwhelming the daily routine.
Practice Over Theory
Our workshops use real scenarios from your infrastructure. No abstract exercises, but concrete tasks: setting up servers, building pipelines, automating deployments. What works in the workshop works the next day in production.
Vendor-Independent Security Strategies
Open Source means transparency — including for security. We teach how to secure systems without relying on proprietary black boxes. Auditable configurations, traceable decisions, documented processes.
Topics
Linux Fundamentals
Filesystem, permissions, services, package management. The foundation for everything else — systematically structured, with room for questions.
Shell & Scripting
Bash, text processing, automating routine tasks. Small scripts, big impact — reproducible instead of manual.
GitLab & CI/CD
Version control, pipelines, automated tests and deployments. From your first pipeline to production-ready automation.
Ansible
Infrastructure as Code without a programming language. Configure servers consistently, changes documented and repeatable.
Containers & Docker
Isolate applications, make them portable, deploy uniformly. Understand, build, and securely operate containers.
Security & Hardening
Secure Linux servers, configure firewalls, automate updates. Security as a process, not a product.
Monitoring & Alerting
Open Source monitoring with the MAT approach (Metrics, Alerting, Trending — trend analysis for proactive capacity planning). Smart alerting with business intelligence instead of alert fatigue. Auto-repair for known failure patterns.
For Decision Makers
- Predictable costs: Workshops in defined packages, no hidden license fees
- Lower risk: Gradual migration reduces downtime risks
- Long-term independence: Your team can make decisions and take action on their own
- Demonstrable competence: Documented learning content and progress
For Your IT Team
New tools mean new possibilities. We know that the transition takes time and we respect the experience your team brings. Our workshops build on existing knowledge and expand it systematically — without pressure, with clear learning goals and practical exercises.
Questions are welcome. So is skepticism. Both are part of the learning process.
