Red Hat Certification Links

Lakshmana

Anyone can give some links to study for the Red Hat Certifications
What are the basic things has to be done before certifications?

Best to get some books and go through the material end to end.

Tecmint has an RHCSA series.

I did a quick search and didn't see anything.

scottalanmiller

That's too bad.

I need to start studying again. I wanted to take my RHCSA this year, but too many things have happened. Hopefully I can get it done next year.

I wonder if we can do some sort of ML study group.

That would be cool.

The NTG lab has a few resources for that kind of stuff, too.

They do have a short series for RHCE - part 1

Yes it would be really cool

I missed that somehow ha. Samba and NFS are on the RHCE?

I just looked through and saw it's only mounting Samba and NFS on the RHCSA. I'm all out of whack with my skills I guess. I've set up Samba and NFS plenty of times but never needed some of the things on the RHCSA list like LDAP or kickstart.

RH Exams are famous for being full of useless stuff or completely inappropriate tasks. For the longest time the core focus of the exam was printer management - something almost no one senior enough to consider the certification would ever do. To this day, having worked in Linux for two decades, I've never done nor known anyone that did printer management.

As a side question, what's the advantage to kickstart if you can clone templates. Cloning is much faster. Is it just for large deployments?

Kickstart is how big companies did it in the pre-virtualization era.
