Requirements
Attendees are expected to be proficient in basic system administration tasks via the Linux command line. While some sections may benefit from programming or scripting knowledge, these are not strictly mandatory. When making your reservation, please specify any programming languages you are familiar with. If you have no specific language background, the course will rely solely on issuing Redis commands directly through redis-cli.
