Yuan Meng: Virtual Training for Ubuntu enterprise applications

In this article, "Virtual Training" refers to professional training in connected virtual classrooms. What is "Connected Virtual Classroom? What is the actual use? What is the practical significance?

When you are sitting in front of the computer display, log on to the relevant website (requires at a specific time) with your browser wherever you are, and after verifying your identity, you can immediately enter an "electronic classroom" (a so-called "Connected Virtual Classroom "). In the electronic classroom, in addition to being able to directly listen to instructors, there are also virtual lab teaching links. Under the guidance of instructors, the instructors can perform specific operations, ask questions (like asking questions in the classroom), and obtain answers, it seems to be immersive and get a real experience. As we all know, the compilation of this "teaching courseware" (application software) is a very huge project, because this electronic learning process involves a large number of interactive links, unlike TV teaching, poor results.

Ubuntu has been widely used in North America and Europe. A critical practical problem is how to deploy, manage, and maintain Ubuntu servers in the enterprise information infrastructure? That is to say, how can we ensure that Ubuntu servers can run smoothly, stably, and reliably in the enterprise environment for a long time? In fact, this involves a lot of practical engineering experience, some of which can be said only. This is like driving, swimming, and skating. It's useless to read books. Have you ever seen the swimming instruction manual? It must be harmful books. Simply put, how can we effectively and quickly train Ubuntu system administrators?

There is a problem to be noted that the Ubuntu software itself and its related engineering experience are two things that cannot be confused. Strictly speaking, Ubuntu software can be Freely distributed (Freely-redistribute), while engineering practices related to Ubuntu cannot be Freely distributed, because, obtaining these engineering experiences requires a great deal of operation costs. It is clear that obtaining these engineering experiences must pay a certain price. Ask an aunt to go home for housekeeping services and spend money! If you want to be a Ubuntu System Administrator, you must pay the tuition fee. To put it bluntly, it is not difficult to possess Ubuntu, but it is difficult to master Ubuntu.

To train a large number of Ubuntu system administrators, Canonical decided to hold a virtual connection training for Ubuntu enterprise applications from October 11, May this year for two weeks (a total of 10 units and 40 hours ), currently, only trainees in North America and Europe are allowed. It is worth noting that Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of Ubuntu, personally teaches (as one of the dedicated instructors ). The fee for Beta courses (started in May 4) is USD 1,200. For general courses (started in July 6), plus the UVT0001 certification exam, the fee is USD 1,380.50. In fact, when you get the UVT0001 Certification Examination Certificate, your annual salary is generally more than 0.1 million US dollars. This is one of the most valuable technical certificates.

(Note: Any Linux enterprise cannot block Linux by embedding its own Linux engineering experience into its own products. We should separate the Linux product from its related engineering experience and carefully learn the practical experience of Canonical. On the homepage of Ubuntu official website, there is a text: "Ubuntu will always be free of charge, including enterprise releases and security updates. it can be seen that Ubuntu is free software in enterprise applications and pre-installed mini-books. This is the most fascinating part of Ubuntu !)
