Development of instrument classification system administration of servers

Abstract

The article is devoted to the topical issue of searching for methods of application of server system administration tools that provide the ability to manage and maintain the server infrastructure of the cloud environment. The task is to determine the classification of system administration tools that are necessary for effective system administration of cloud servers. It is known that the system administrator is responsible for managing and maintaining the server infrastructure that helps the company achieve its business goals. To perform a variety of tasks, you need to decide on the choice of server administration tools from a variety of existing or new ones. This raises difficulties in selecting the most effective means of solving problems and describing these administrative tools for study due to the lack of defined criteria for selecting the appropriate tool for the relevant administrative situation. This is especially important when there are issues of training system administrators, i.e. it is necessary to achieve certain learning objectives, after which the administrator will be able to: describe the functions of the administration center; rules for effective use of toolkits for system administration, cross-platform administration tools, tools for automation of individual administration tasks; use various analyzers and administration sniffers, remote server administration tools to manage servers; determine the order of server scheduling; to find special software for maintenance and configuration of many computer systems and monitoring networks, as well as various utilities, applications and administrators for administration. To solve this problem, the article proposes a method for determining the characteristics for the classification of many administration tools by determining the types of system administrators: database administrator; server administrator; network administrator; security administrator; web administrator; systems engineer; reliability engineer. The list of groups of typical tasks is defined: administration of users and groups of users; administration of system security tools; administration of local and network printers; event and resource monitoring; data archiving and recovery. Classes of tools of automation of tasks of system administration are offered: packages of tools for system administration, cross-platform tools of administration, tools in the form of automation of separate tasks of administration. The analysis of classes of tools for system administration is carried out. It is shown that knowledge of system administration tools is necessary to troubleshoot, test, communicate, and fix systems that are required to continue. With the right tools, the work becomes less tedious, as many tasks can be performed with these system administration tools.
