Ultra-focused learning series that combine practical challenges, concise theory, and visual explanations.
Practice the most common Linux storage operations in a series of hands-on challenges: discover and mount drives, create partition tables, format partitions with different filesystems, map directories with bind mounts, and make mount points survive a reboot.
Learn how to reach an internal port on a remote machine from the local system, jump through a bastion into a private VPC, expose a development server to the Internet through a reverse tunnel, publish a home network device, and spin up a full-fledged SOCKS proxy with nothing but a regular SSH connection.
Explore how different container runtimes - Docker, Podman, nerdctl, ctr, and runc - execute containers. Compare their UX, architecture, and impact on containerized applications.
Do you want to troubleshoot container and Kubernetes networking issues like a true expert? This is a highly practical learning path that will take you from the basics of container networking like creating a network namespace, to more complex topics like configuring a bridge network and using iptables to set up network address translation (NAT) and port forwarding.
Practice Linux troubleshooting on deliberately broken servers. Investigate vague failures, find the root cause, and make the system work again.
Start by learning how to limit process resources in Linux using cgroups—from the most basic, hands-on cgroupfs manipulation to the more convenient systemd-run command. Then, explore how Docker and Kubernetes leverage cgroups to control the resource usage of containers and pods.
Learn how to author skill paths on iximiuz Labs: bind tutorials, challenges, and other content types into a focused learning experience.
