1. WEB SERVER

2. Web servers are software applications or computer systems that
deliver web content (such as web pages, files, images, videos) to
clients (typically web browsers) over the internet. They handle
requests from clients and respond with the requested resources.
INTRODUCTION TO WEB SERVERS

3. The HTTP protocol is the foundation of communication on
the web. It defines the structure of requests and
responses between clients and servers. Understanding its
methods and status codes is crucial for effective web
server management.
UNDERSTANDING HTTP PROTOCOL

4. Configuring a web server
involves setting up virtual
hosts, managing security
settings, and optimizing
performance through
caching and compression.
Proper configuration
ensures reliability and
scalability.
SERVER CONFIGURATION

5. Implementing SSL/TLS
certificates, firewalls, and
regular security audits are
essential for protecting web
servers from cyber threats.
Understanding and applying
security best practices is
crucial for safeguarding
sensitive data.
SECURITY BEST PRACTICES

6. Load balancing distributes incoming traffic across
multiple servers to ensure high availability and fault
tolerance. Understanding load balancing techniques
is crucial for achieving scalability and reliability.
LOAD BALANCING AND SCALABILITY

7. Optimizing web server
performance involves caching,
compression, and content
delivery networks. These
techniques improve response
times and reduce server load,
enhancing the overall user
experience.
WEB SERVER PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION

8. Effective web server management requires real-time
monitoring of server metrics and logging of server
activities. Understanding the significance of
monitoring and logging is crucial for troubleshooting
and performance analysis.
MONITORING AND LOGGING

9. Identifying and resolving
server errors, performance
issues, and security
vulnerabilities is essential
for maintaining a healthy
web server. This slide
covers common
troubleshooting
techniques and best
practices.

10. Implementing regular
backups and disaster
recovery plans is crucial
for mitigating data loss
and ensuring business
continuity. Understanding
backup strategies and
recovery procedures is
essential for data
protection.

11. Automating routine tasks
such as deployment,
maintenance, and scaling
can streamline web
server management.
Understanding
automation tools and
best practices is essential
for efficiency and
consistency.
