A qui s'adresse cette formation
This course is designed for existing Linux administrators who want to configure highly available services using the SUSE Linux Enterprise HA Extension. This three day course teaches students to deploy and administer the SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability 12 product. The course introduces the product features and implementation planning for both on premise and the public cloud. A SLE12 HA cluster is deployed and then applications and clustered storage are configured, tested and administered.
