This week (and next week) I'm helping run back to back sessions of System Administrator trainings centered around our Enterprise hosting solutions. We'll be training 4 of our newly promoted staff so they can effectively manage and administrate our complicated hosting solutions.

In total they will end up being exposed to the following tech:
- MySQL replication,
- block device based replication (via DRBD),
- clustering tools (heartbeat/pacemaker),
- KVM,
- iSCSI, and
- OCFS2.
A massive amount of things to learn in a brief period, but it's all great stuff!
