Go beyond knowledge—to mastery.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the leading open source platform for modern datacenters, with a stable, flexible foundation that adapts as your business changes. That’s just 1 of the reasons why more than 90% of Fortune Global 500 companies use Red Hat products and solutions.

Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) builds the skills and knowledge needed to become a full-time Linux administrator, helping ensure improved ability to manage your infrastructure efficiently.

This is the second of a two course series that takes a computer professional from minimal Linux experience to being a fully capable Linux administrator.

Overview

Focuses on the key tasks needed to become a full-time Linux administrator.

Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) serves as the second part of the RHCSA training track for IT professionals who have taken Red Hat System Administration I (RH124). The course goes deeper into core Linux system administration skills in storage configuration and management, installation and deployment of Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®, management of security features such as SELinux, control of recurring system tasks, management of the boot process and troubleshooting, basic system tuning, and command-line automation and productivity.

Experienced Linux administrators looking for rapid preparation for the RHCSA certification should instead start with RH200: RHCSA Rapid Track with exam.

This course is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0.
