This advanced program prepares professionals to design, implement, and manage enterprise-grade Linux infrastructures, focusing on full virtualization, containerization, and virtual machine provisioning. The LPIC‑3 v3.0 certification, issued by the Linux Professional Institute (LPI), validates expertise in key technologies such as Xen, QEMU, libvirt, Docker, Kubernetes, Packer, cloud-init, and Vagrant.

Upon completing the course, participants will be able to:

  • Master virtualization concepts and practices using technologies such as Xen, QEMU, and libvirt
  • Manage virtual machines and images, including snapshots, migrations, and format conversions
  • Configure container platforms and orchestrators, including Docker, LXC, and Kubernetes
  • Implement automated build and provisioning tools, such as Packer, cloud-init, Vagrant, and Terraform
  • Apply best practices for cloud provisioning and creating reproducible environments

To participate in this training, attendees must meet the following requirements:

  • Active LPIC‑2 certification (mandatory to pursue LPIC‑3)
  • At least 3 years of experience administering Linux servers
  • Knowledge of scripting, networking, hypervisors, and container systems

Learning Methodology

The learning methodology, regardless of the modality (in-person or remote), is based on the development of workshops or labs that lead to the construction of a project, emulating real activities in a company.

The instructor (live), a professional with extensive experience in work environments related to the topics covered, acts as a workshop leader, guiding students' practice through knowledge transfer processes, applying the concepts of the proposed syllabus to the project.

The methodology seeks that the student does not memorize, but rather understands the concepts and how they are applied in a work environment.

As a result of this work, at the end of the training the student will have gained real experience, will be prepared for work and to pass an interview, a technical test, and/or achieve higher scores on international certification exams.

Conditions to guarantee successful results:
  • a. An institution that requires the application of the model through organization, logistics, and strict control over the activities to be carried out by the participants in each training session.
  • b. An instructor located anywhere in the world, who has the required in-depth knowledge, expertise, experience, and outstanding values, ensuring a very high-level knowledge transfer.
  • c. A committed student, with the space, time, and attention required by the training process, and the willingness to focus on understanding how concepts are applied in a work environment, and not memorizing concepts just to take an exam.
