The CompTIA Server+ Training is a hands-on, instructor-led course that prepares you to install, configure, secure and troubleshoot server hardware and operating systems — both on-premises and in the cloud — and to sit the CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 certification exam. Over five days you work through 33 practical labs aligned to the four official exam domains, all on the free browser-based Killercoda Ubuntu playground — no local install or physical hardware required.
It is designed for IT support staff, system administrators, data-centre technicians and anyone responsible for keeping servers running who wants a vendor-neutral server administration credential.
| # | On completion, you will be able to |
|---|---|
| LO1 | Install and manage server hardware — racking, cabling, power and cooling; deploy and manage storage (RAID, shared storage, capacity planning); and maintain hardware with out-of-band management and firmware upgrades. |
| LO2 | Administer server operating systems and services — OS installation, partitions and file systems, IP/DNS/DHCP/VLANs, server roles, monitoring, high availability, virtualization, scripting and asset management. |
| LO3 | Secure servers and plan for disaster recovery — data and physical security, identity and access management, mitigation strategies, server hardening, decommissioning, backup and recovery. |
| LO4 | Troubleshoot server hardware, software, storage, OS and network problems using a structured methodology, and validate disaster-recovery and failover readiness. |
Each lab lives in its own file under labs/ with full step-by-step commands and reference links.
Every lab runs inside a disposable Ubuntu VM in the browser — all software is free (open source or free tier).
