Managing servers is a fundamental aspect of computer science that involves the administration and maintenance of computers that provide web, file, electronic mail, and other networked services. This subject specifically focuses on servers that run the Linux operating system and provides students with an understanding of how to operate them through the command line. Through practical approaches, students will learn how to automate management tasks by writing scripts, analysing and optimising the performance of servers, and create basic information services. Additionally, students will explore the methods required to secure data and services accessed from the internet to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of critical information.
