Requirements
Participants should possess a solid understanding of fundamental system administration tasks via the Linux command line. Familiarity with programming or scripting is beneficial for certain modules. Upon registration, please specify the programming languages you are proficient in; if you have no programming experience, the course will rely exclusively on issuing commands directly through redis-cli.
