Requirements
Attendees should possess a solid understanding of basic system administration tasks via the Linux command line. While certain modules benefit from programming or scripting proficiency, prior experience is not strictly required for all sections. Please specify any programming languages you are familiar with during the booking process. If you do not have scripting experience, we will execute Redis commands directly using redis-cli.
