Опис курсу

The course “Operating Systems” is aimed at developing theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of modern operating systems, their architecture, and principles of resource, process, memory, and file system management.

Within the course, students master practical aspects of installing operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android) using ISO images, creating and configuring virtual machines with hypervisors (VirtualBox, VMware, Parallels), as well as remote administration tools (PuTTY, WinSCP).

Special attention is paid to:

• OS architecture (x86, x64, ARM);
• Virtualization and hypervisor principles;
• Network configuration modes (NAT, Bridge, Host-only);
• Basic Linux administration;
• Features of modern versions of Windows 10/11 and ARM-based solutions.

The course has an applied orientation and is designed to develop digital competencies required for working in IT environments and administering information systems.

Course Objective

The objective of the course “Operating Systems” is to provide students of specialty 051 “Economics” with a systemic understanding of modern operating system principles and to develop practical skills in installation, virtualization, configuration, and basic administration for effective use in economic and managerial activities.

The course aims to develop digital competencies necessary for working with enterprise information systems, corporate software, and business digital infrastructure.

Course Goals

Upon completion of the course, the student should:

• Develop an understanding of the role of operating systems in the digital economy and enterprise information systems;
• Master the principles of OS architecture (process management, memory management, file systems);
• Understand virtualization as a tool for optimizing business IT resources;
• Learn to install and configure operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android) using ISO images;
• Perform basic OS administration to ensure stable operation of application software;
• Configure virtual machines and network modes for testing software solutions;
• Use remote access tools (SSH, PuTTY, WinSCP) to work with server environments;
• Analyze the efficiency of operating system use within enterprise activities;
• Understand the economic aspects of implementing server infrastructure and cloud solutions.
