I got my RHCSA certification last April.
|
|
It was my first certification since shifting from my security-centered education and first job to my current role as a systems engineer.
|
|
I learned plenty of stuff for my job while preparing for it, and it's the most fulfilling exam I've taken to date because it is entirely practical.
|
|
I also had a major head-start to learning it because I'd been using Linux as a daily OS since 2019.
|
|
|
|
The next exam in the series for Red Hat is the EX294 AKA the RHCE exam.
|
|
The prior versions of the RHCE exam focused on advanced Linux topics, but the modern version is all about Ansible.
|
|
Unfortunately, I had minimal exposure to Ansible prior to starting at this job.
|
|
It wasn't *none* but it was fairly close.
|
|
|
|
Luckily, I've had plenty of opportunities to get acquainted with it.
|
|
We are quickly moving to using Ansible for as much as possible at work - enrolling servers in LDAP, setting up services on servers, etc...
|
|
We're also using Ansible Automation Platform, so learning to use execution environments and Navigator has become essential as well.
