There are 3 modules in this course

This comprehensive course equips learners with the essential skills to analyze, configure, and maintain advanced storage environments using the Zettabyte File System (ZFS) on Linux. Designed for system administrators, DevOps engineers, and IT professionals, the course begins by exploring the architecture and foundational principles of ZFS, including pooled storage and Copy-on-Write mechanisms.

Through structured modules, learners will demonstrate the ability to install and manage ZFS on Linux systems, construct and evaluate storage pools using RAID-Z and mirroring, and implement robust snapshot and replication strategies for data protection. Additionally, the course delves into configuring file system properties such as quotas and compression, and performing advanced disk operations like offline replacement and resilvering. By the end of the course, learners will be able to apply administrative ZFS skills in real-world environments, differentiate storage configurations based on workload needs, and evaluate system health using integrated ZFS tools.

This module introduces the foundational concepts of the Zettabyte File System (ZFS), its origin, advantages over traditional file systems, and key architectural principles. Learners gain insights into ZFS features, its design goals, and installation requirements.
