Requirements
Participants are expected to be proficient with basic system administration tasks via the Linux command line, as certain modules require programming or scripting capabilities. When making a booking, please specify the programming languages you are familiar with. If you do not have experience in specific languages, the course will focus on issuing Redis commands directly using redis-cli.
