A Cloud Guru

This course covers the various software, tools, and utilities used to configure web services on a Linux host. Students will install and configure various use cases for Apache, Squid, and NGINX, including virtual hosts, proxy and reverse proxy servers, HTTPS/SSL, and load balancing. We'll also discuss how to collect Apache metrics, as well as the differences between Apache and NGINX. I'm looking forward to seeing you in the course. Don't forget to give me a thumbs up on the lessons if you like the content!
