Shelll Programming


Course Description

This hands-on course is a Lecture/lab format with 50% for each. Students will write many shell programs. Many examples are presented and enhanced by the students. This class covers Linux virtualization from the introductory level up to a more advanced level. Not only covering “how to” but also the “how” of how things work behind the scenes. How virtualization is implemented on Linux. From the role of qemu to the role of the Intel and AMD specialized instructions.

We examine what virtualization really means. We compare containers, processes, threads, chroot, KVM, and how these all provide separation and more.
