Course Description

The Secure SHell (SSH) provides a secure method to remotely log into remote computers over an unsecured network.  The protocol further avoids the need to use (and remember) password. It is not only used by humans to access computers, but can facilitate secure computer to computer interactions.  Extensively used in modern IT operations, it is a fundamental tool that anyone interested in cloud systems should be familiar with.  This course provides background on what SSH is and how it works and then provides hands on labs that will give you practical experience generating and using SSH keys.
