Mastering Ubuntu Server Fourth Edition

Available from: Publisher Amazon
Ubuntu Server is taking the server world by storm - and with good reason! The server-focused spin of Ubuntu is a stable, flexible, and powerful enterprise-class distribution of Linux with a focus on running servers both small and large. You can use it to host a website, run a publicly available app, set up a virtualization stack, run containers, and much more!

Mastering Ubuntu Server is a book that will teach you everything you need to know in order to manage real Ubuntu-based servers in actual production deployments. This book will take you from initial installation to deploying production-ready solutions to empower your small office network, or even a full data center. You will learn your way around the distribution itself, as well as essential commands, tools and utilities, productivity boosters, and you'll also learn real strategies you can use to troubleshoot any anomalies you may encounter.

You'll see examples of running an Ubuntu Server in the cloud, be walked through set up popular applications (such as Nextcloud), host your own websites, and deploy network resources such as DHCP, DNS, and others. You’ll further see how to containerize applications via LXD to maximize efficiency and learn how to build Kubernetes clusters. This new fourth edition updates the popular book to cover Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, which takes advantage of the latest in Linux-based technologies.

By the end of this Ubuntu book, you will gain all the knowledge you'll need in order to work on real-life Ubuntu Server deployments and become an expert Ubuntu Server administrator that is well-versed in its featureset.
