Rhcsa and Rhce Training for a Better Future in 2023.

 

Over 90% of Fortune 500 companies use Red Hat Inc.’s open-source software solutions, including internet service providers, airlines, healthcare providers, and commercial banks. The company has been in business for over two decades and is best known for its Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) distribution. Red Hat offers a fully open technology stack that you can customize to meet your requirements; you are not bound by the vendor’s vision of the software or stack components. JBoss middleware, cross-platform virtualization, cloud computing (CloudForms and OpenStack), and more are all part of Red Hat’s product and service portfolio.

Red Hat provides a variety of professional certifications based on its software products, which include operating systems, virtualization, storage, and cloud-based solutions.

Overview of the Red Hat certification program

The Red Hat certification program is aimed at system administrators, engineers, architects, enterprise developers, application administrators who use RHEL in their IT infrastructures, and cloud and virtualization administrators. The certification program requires candidates to pass performance-based certification exams to ensure they are proficient in RHEL. Unlike many certification exams, Red Hat requires you to perform and complete real-world tasks using Red Hat technologies to pass its exams.

Red Hat has traditionally only offered certification exams after completing a training course. You can now take a Red Hat exam on your own time, outside of training, if you prefer. Each exam session is conducted on a secure system in a professionally proctored testing center. These facilities can be found in cities across the United States, Europe, and Asia.

You become a Red Hat Certified Professional after earning a Red Hat certification. This grants you access to Red Hat Certification Central, where you can network with potential employers, join the Red Hat community, form study groups, and work on projects. You can also look into Red Hat’s training options and schedule individual exam sessions easily. There are discounts on recertification exams available.

RHCSA: Red Hat Certified System Administrator

The RHCSA certification is intended for experienced Red Hat administrators, and it is required by some organizations to comply with US Department of Defense Directive 8570. It is also a Red Hat Certified Engineer certification (RHCE) prerequisite.

To prepare for the RHCSA certification, Red Hat recommends three training classes. Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) and Red Hat System Administration II (RH125) are the Windows administration classes (RH134). To prepare for the RHCSA exam, candidates may also take a Linux/UNIX administration class – RHCSA Rapid Track Course RH199.

Candidates must pass the 2.5-hour RHCSA Exam to obtain RHCSA certification (EX200).

RHCE: Red Hat Certified Engineer

The RHCE certification is aimed at experienced senior system administrators and satisfies the requirements of US Department of Defense Directive 8570.

To obtain RHCE certification, you must first obtain RHCSA certification. Your skill level determines the recommended training for the RHCE certification. To prepare for the exam, Windows administrators with little or no Linux experience should take the Red Hat System Administration I and II (RH124 and RH134) courses and the Red Hat System Administration III (RH254) course.

Linux or UNIX administrators with one to three years of experience should take the RHCSA Rapid Track Course (RH199) and the Red Hat System Administration III (RH254) courses to prepare for the exam. RHCEs who want to recertify, or candidates who want to do a lab-based review before taking the RHCE exam, should take the RHCE Certification lab (RH299). The certification lab is a four-day, instructor-led experience in which you will work through all of the labs from the Red Hat System Administration I, II, and III courses and the Rapid Track course.

You must pass the 3.5-hour RHCE Exam (EX300) to complete the RHCE certification, which is currently based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

RHCA stands for Red Hat Certified Architect.

The RHCA certification is the highest level of certification in the Red Hat Certification program. Red Hat has modified the RHCA program to be more flexible than previous iterations, depending on the candidate’s specific areas of interest and expertise. Red Hat currently provides two RHCA credentials:

RHCA in Infrastructure for Red Hat Certified Engineers (RHCE) and RHCA in Enterprise Applications for Red Hat Certified Enterprise Microservices Developers (RHCEMD) or Red Hat Certified JBoss Developers (RHCJBD) (RHCJD)

To obtain the RHCA in Infrastructure or RHCA in Enterprise Applications, Red Hat recommends specific certification combinations. Candidates can follow the recommended path or choose their certifications based on their professional interests and needs.

There are three recommended certification combinations for the RHCA in Enterprise Applications: application acceleration and integration, application automation, DevOps, containers, and OpenShift. Red Hat recommends that all candidates obtain the Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Application Development and Red Hat Certified Specialist in Enterprise Application Server Administrations certifications, which are not required.

Jobs and careers in related fields

With most Fortune 500 companies now using Red Hat open-source solutions, the value of Red Hat Linux-trained IT professionals has long been recognized. Trained Red Hat professionals are essential for successfully creating and maintaining Red Hat solutions that provide long-term value.

There is a consistent, established, ongoing requirement for IT professionals qualified to serve as administrators, system engineers, and architects, regardless of the type of Red Hat technology deployed.

The foundation of deploying Red Hat Linux solutions is system administrators. Typical duties include creating, configuring, deploying, and maintaining Linux systems, performing software updates, and ensuring system security. As operating system experts, system administrators are well-versed in essential Linux tools, file systems, and storage.

Red Hat, Linux system engineers are the logical next step in the Red Hat professional career ladder. System engineers have the same skills as administrators and are experts at setting runtime parameters and automating system maintenance via shell scripting. Linux system engineers are also experts at configuring the system and remote logging, static routes (including packet filtering and network address translation), iSCSI initiators, and network services such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Network Time Protocol (NTP), secure shell (SSH), and others.

If system administrators lay the groundwork for deploying Red Hat solutions, architects are the creators and finishers of Red Hat solutions for implementation, deployment, and maintenance. Architects create, develop, and test proposed solutions, integrate them with existing systems, define the overall solution architecture, and provide support as the solution goes into production. Red Hat Linux architects, as subject matter experts, formulate and deliver RHEL technology recommendations, create required documentation, and provide installation guidance and assistance.
