Course Overview
The UNIX Internals Training course provides experienced developers an intensive, low-level examination of the Linux kernel architecture.
Topics include kernel compilation, debugging tools and techniques, and internal kernel APIs, including synchronization, process management, and memory management. These topics provide a solid understanding of the kernel's architecture, providing a useful base from which more specialized topics, like those presented in Red Hat Enterprise System Monitoring and Performance Tuning or Red Hat Enterprise Linux Kernel Device Drivers, can be addressed.
