Move beyond Linux fundamentals and build the administration skills required to manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.
Linux administrators must manage storage, security, system services, networking, automation, containers, and system recovery as part of day-to-day infrastructure operations. This course builds on Red Hat System Administration I and develops deeper administration skills for managing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 environments.
- Why get trained: Build practical skills in shell scripting, task scheduling, storage and logical volume management, SELinux, firewall configuration, boot process control, system tuning, troubleshooting, containers, and image mode for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- Why it matters: RH134 is the second part of Red Hat’s RHCSA skills path and develops the system administration capabilities assessed through the performance-based EX200 exam. These skills form the foundation for managing Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments and progressing towards advanced Red Hat certification paths.
- Who should attend: System Administrators, Platform Engineers, Developers, and IT professionals who have completed Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) or have equivalent foundational Red Hat Enterprise Linux administration knowledge.
Build the practical administration skills required to manage, secure, troubleshoot, and operate Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems while progressing towards RHCSA certification. HRD Corp Claimable.
