Requirements to complete the course

Exercises 40% of the course evaluation
Students on the subject install the operating system environment in a virtual environment, either on the platform of the chosen provider (eg Google Cloud Platform) or in a virtual environment directly in the PC (eg Oracle Virtualbox). Subsequently, the installed OS student trains to configure and run system services, which serve as another extension for users in the system. Such exemplary services may be, for example, the installation of a web server or database server or other operating system services. The work on the exercises is also mastered the basics of scripting languages, especially in the Linux operating system (bash language) and also the basic configuration in Windows. Verification of practical skills takes place directly at the exercises, where several students are randomly selected who demonstrate the acquired knowledge (points A to G) or together with the teacher solve the current problems that arise in the implementation of solutions. The theoretical part of the course is provided in the form of presentations, where students present knowledge of the topic they have worked on (H).
Exam 60% of the course evaluation
Verification of the acquired knowledge is performed during the semester in the form of a test and at the end of the semester in the form of a test and an oral exam (the theoretical knowledge base A to G is verified).
