Project Work

Project #1
1. Deploy a two node highly available Apache Webserver, using HA proxy.
2. The Apache web Server configuration must be maintained using Puppet and any manual change must be overridden in 15 minutes.
3. The Apache web Server must keep logs for 1 month and the maximum size of any Apache log file must be less or equal to 2 GB.
4. Configure Nagios to monitor the health status of Apache Web Server and if there are any issues send an alert to any configured email.
5. Write a custom Nagios Plugin to monitor the interface speed of the NIC card on your system. If NIC speed is less then 1Gbps, it must
send a Nagios alert.

Project #2
1. Configure DNS split zone cluster1.com and make sure that they return different IPs when resolved internally and externally
2. Make sure all the changes to the DNS config and zone files must be audited
3. Write a script to find all the users who never logged-in in the last 3 months and lock their accounts.
4. Setup up a Docker container to serve as an Apache web server and allow ssh to it from any node.
