Description
Enterprises running systems in air-gapped environments face unique challenges: no internet access, security and compliance requirements, the need for reliable updates and system management. Its a tough job for sysadmins to manage things on a large scale.
Enter Landscape, which provides security patching, auditing, compliance tasks, multi tier repository mirrors and other features. Landscape is free to use on up to 5 machines and has different plans (SaaS/Managed/self-hosted) available for enterprise use cases. It comes included in an Ubuntu Pro subscription.
After completing this workshop, you will gain an understanding of how to manage machines in air-gapped environments and make use of Landscape features like repository mirrors and package management. Moreover, you will also get to know how Ubuntu archives work and how to manage VMs using Multipass when we deploy self-hosted landscape.
