This week has been quite boring, we finished the challenge last week and they haven’t introduced the new challenge yet, so we are just planning the remaining weeks.
In Database Management we haven’t started with anything new, so we are just using these hours to work in other subjects.
In Operative System Management we started with SSH, telnet, VNC and Webmin services, which can be used to manage a server remotely. We are configuring each service in our Ubuntu 17.04 OS and connecting from our windows clients. SSH and Telnet are pretty straightforward while Webmin and VNC are quite harder to install and configure.
In Internet and Network Services we saw some information about mail servers, but we haven’t done anything yet. The teacher said it’s going to be a bit harder than other services because it has more configuration options and more files.
In Security and High Availability we are learning about VPN (Virtual Private Network). This service is used to open an encrypted tunnel over a public network, so we can work from our home as if we were on our company network.
In Web Application Deployment we are going to see some improvements that can be done to our current web. We will have an exam in which we’ll have to connect to our database and create a page which can be either a formulary to add a product to our database or a list which shows every product or even a product browser which is probably the longest one since you have to create more variables and queries.

Last week we finished the first challenge so this one was a little more relaxed.
With Javi we started learning things about the remote access between operative systems.
We use tools like VNC, SSH, Webmin and Telnet.
We are working with 2 computers using Ubuntu and one more with Windows installed.
The objective is to connect the machines between each other using the different tools we have mentioned before.
With Ricardo we started knowing things about mail services, but we havent seen anything yet.
Also we are learning about VPN (Virtual Private Networks).
VPN essencially is like a tunnel between computers to establish a secure connection between them.
