Course Overview
Hi everyone! My name is Anthony Nocentino, Enterprise architect, and founder of Centino Systems. Welcome to my course, SQL Server on Linux Administration Fundamentals. Can you believe it? SQL Server is now available on Linux. And let's get you started on your journey to becoming an effective DBA using SQL Server on Linux. In this course, we're going to get you started on your path to do just that. First, we're going to introduce SQL Server on Linux and look closely at its architecture. Then we'll dive right in and install and configure SQL Server on Linux together. After that, we'll look at some of the Linux skills needed to effectively administer SQL Server on Linux. And then we'll look at some of the new tools that are available for SQL Server on Linux and how we can leverage some existing tools and using both to administer our system. And then, finally, we'll look at some of the high availability and disaster recovery options available to us in this new environment. And we'll also do an overview of backups and restores. By the end of this course, you'll be production ready for SQL Server on Linux. Before beginning this course, you should be familiar with Linux operating system concepts like logging in and basic command line usage. You'll also need to be familiar with basic relational database engine concepts. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn SQL Server on Linux in my course, SQL Server on Linux Administration Fundamentals.
