IBM Linux training: Linux on Power and Linux on IBM Z

This category groups the general IBM Linux catalogue: Linux fundamentals, Linux on IBM Z (SUSE and RHEL) and LinuxONE, Linux on IBM Power (both for AIX administrators moving to Linux and for Linux x86 admins landing on Power), PowerVM base and Docker on Power. Entry point into the Linux world within IBM’s portfolio. Pairs well with the Linux training hub.

What this category covers

  • Linux fundamentals: Linux Basics, Linux Basics System z Perspective, Linux Basics and Installation, Linux System Administration I – Implementation.
  • Linux on IBM Z / LinuxONE: Linux Implementation for z Systems (SUSE), Advanced Solutions for Linux on z Systems (SuSE), z/VM and Linux on IBM Z and LinuxONE Bootcamp.
  • Linux on Power: Linux on Power for AIX Administrators, Linux on IBM Power intensive for Linux x86 admins, Power Systems Running Linux: Server Admin.
  • PowerVM base: Introduction to IBM PowerVM and Power10.
  • Open Source and performance on Power: Implementing Linux Open Source on Power, Linux Power Performance Management on PowerVM Base.
  • Containers: Advanced Docker for Power Systems, Enhancing Workload and Capacity Management with Docker on Power.

How this differs from adjacent categories

This category is the general IBM Linux catalogue, the entry point. For advanced project-focused Power solutions (Pacemaker HA, OpenShift on Power, SAP HANA on Power) go to Linux on IBM Power: it’s a project-focused subset. There are 4 base courses (PowerVM and Power10, Linux Open Source on Power, performance management, x86 admins intensive) shared between both categories because they cut across the Linux/Power sysadmin role. For Ubuntu (Canonical partner) there’s a dedicated category.

Format

IBM training with labs on real environments. Synchronous virtual, on-site or private. Pairs well with the Linux training hub and the official IBM training catalogue.

Recommended learning path

New to Linux: Linux Basics and Installation followed by Linux System Administration I. Linux x86 sysadmin landing on Power: Linux on IBM Power intensive for Linux x86 admins. AIX sysadmin moving to Linux: Linux on Power for AIX Administrators. Mainframe with Linux: Linux Implementation for z Systems (SUSE) plus z/VM and Linux on IBM Z and LinuxONE Bootcamp. Containers on Power: Advanced Docker for Power Systems. For HA, OpenShift or SAP HANA on Power jump to Linux on IBM Power.
