This course provides an overview of the low-level Linux features (capabilities, namespaces, and cgroups) used to build container, virtualization, and sandboxing technologies.
This course is a heavily abridged version of the 4-day Linux Security and Isolation APIs (M7D-SECISOL02) course, which provides much more detailed coverage of the same topics.
The course employs a lecture+lab format.
The primary audience comprises designers and programmers building privileged applications, container applications, and sandboxing applications. Systems administrators who are managing such applications are also likely to find the course of benefit.

A significant part of the course is spent on practical exercises. The lab sessions also provide participants with the opportunity to obtain one-to-one assistance from the trainer on the course material and exercises.
Course participants receive course books of around 125 pages. The course books include all of the slides and exercises presented in the course.
The course book has been developed by the trainer, and is constantly updated based on ongoing changes in the Linux kernel, as well as practical teaching experience in courses.
