Professionally administering Automic requires more than day to day operational experience. Understanding the architecture, running systems reliably, analysing issues correctly, and implementing changes safely are all part of an Automic admin’s daily responsibilities. This is exactly where the PEM Automic Admin Bootcamp comes in.
After several months of focused work, the Admin Bootcamp is now fully completed. A total of 10 courses are available, covering all core aspects of Automic administration on Automic V24. The learning path combines solid technical knowledge with hands on exercises in real systems and concludes with a comprehensive final exam of 30 questions and a personal certificate upon successful completion.
Architecture as a Solid Foundation
The bootcamp intentionally starts with architecture. In AD01 – Automic Architecture, you learn how an Automic system is structured, how its components interact, and what role the Automation Engine plays at the core of the platform. Modern deployment options such as Kubernetes and Automic SaaS are also clearly explained and put into context.
This architectural understanding forms the foundation for all subsequent courses and helps you make confident decisions later when configuring, operating, and maintaining your system.
From Agents to Utilities – Administration Step by Step
As you progress through the Admin Bootcamp, you are guided systematically through all relevant areas of Automic administration. Each course is clearly scoped, logically structured, and includes practical tasks that you can execute directly in the PEM Labs.
You will work with topics such as:
- Agent management from installation and configuration to certificates
- ServiceManager usage including starting, stopping, and modifying services
- User and permission management with users, groups, and privileges
- Utilities for data management such as reorg, archive, unload, and transport
- Client and system administration including client handling and system startup
- Daily operations and maintenance to keep an Automic system stable and reliable
All content has been newly recorded for Automic V24 and is aligned with real world requirements from everyday admin work.
Learning with Real Systems Instead of Theory
A central element of the PEM Admin Bootcamp is the PEM Labs. You do not work with screenshots or simulations, but with real Automic systems. Each exercise reflects typical situations from daily operations and provides immediately applicable knowledge.
The goal is clear: after completing the bootcamp, you should feel confident making changes, handling operational tasks, and knowing where to start when issues arise.
Final Exam and Personal Certificate
At the end of the learning path, you will complete a comprehensive final exam with 30 questions covering all modules. Upon successful completion, you receive your personal PEM certificate, documenting your Automic admin expertise.
The certificate can be used both as internal proof of your skills and as a valuable addition to your professional profile.
The Next Step Is Already in Planning
The Admin Bootcamp provides a stable foundation for all future admin related topics. Building on this, a new learning path is already in preparation, focusing on more advanced scenarios. This will include complex operating models, deeper troubleshooting strategies, and advanced automation concepts.
Anyone who has completed the Admin Bootcamp will be perfectly prepared for what comes next.
Who the Admin Bootcamp Is Designed For
The PEM Admin Bootcamp is specifically designed for Automic administrators who want to operate, maintain, and further develop their systems professionally on Automic V24. The focus is on technical fundamentals, system architecture, configuration, operations, and maintenance.
Designers and operators do not have access to this learning path, as the content deliberately dives deep into administrative responsibilities and assumes ownership of the Automic system.
The learning path is available to all PEM members with the Admin role. A detailed overview of roles, access rights, and memberships can be found on our pricing page.
Conclusion: A Complete Learning Path for Automic Administration on V24
With the completed PEM Admin Bootcamp, you now have access to a full, practice oriented learning path for administering Automic V24 safely and professionally. From architecture to agents, ServiceManager, utilities, and stable system operations, PEM supports you step by step.
Now is the perfect time to deepen your admin knowledge and prepare for the next stage of your Automic journey.
