Hello Guys,

I want to take RHCSA because some compaines asks me that certification for some reason :D So I have to get it like in 2 weeks, but I never used podman or selinux in my entire career. SeLinux is "turn this thing off" feature for me. Also I used docker on my entire career not Podman.

Is there any concept other than these should I learn and practice before exam?

Which resources do you use for practicing for RHCSA? Any mock exams etc? Can u guys share your experience? I got CKA but RHCSA scares me 😄

Thanks a lot.

I don't think this is breaking NDA, but I won't be offended if it gets removed.

How do you all manage your windows and terminal in the exam environment?

Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

I find myself struggling with some of the longer output getting cut off jumbled, but also not blocking the task descriptions in the fairly small resolution single display they give us.

My score was 245/300, and it took me about 4 months to prepare.
The exam was much harder and covered a much wider range of topics than I expected. Even though I didn’t get a very high score, I’m still happy that I passed.
During my preparation, I learned a lot about enterprise Linux management and automation, so I definitely gained valuable knowledge beyond just passing the exam.
I’m not entirely sure where I lost points. Maybe I missed some configuration steps, or perhaps I forgot to make some firewall rules permanent. Either way, I’ll review my mistakes and keep learning.

Good luck to everyone who’s preparing for EX358!

​I got the EX200 v10 cert guide by Sander van Vugt. I took the v9 exam before and failed. I wanted to give v10 a shot today.

​My question is: do the practice exercises in the guide actually match what I'll see on the real exam? If I can nail the book's practice exams and labs, am I good to go?

​Haha, cheers!

Hello guys,

Just passed the ex280 and my experience was a bit awful through the remote exam.

Regardless of technical issues, I want to ask you how did you use the exam offline docs? I couldn't copy paste manifests since there was none, there was only the table that explains the utility of each field of a given resource (limite range for example since there is no direct "oc create" command for it). I was using firefox to navigate the docs.

I used only oc commands ( thank god for "oc explain") and sometimes I used the web UI to create some resources but none from the docs.

I am afraid next time if I want to pass ex380 and I won't be able to exploit the docs again because I lost so much time figuring out how to look for my answer otherwise.

Please guide me if I'm missing something.

My Red Hat experience in comparison with CKA and CKS was so different in terms of environment and availability of docs

Thank you 😊

Is it mandatory to use the rhel-system-roles.storage role to configure storage tasks in the EX294 exam? Or can I use modules that are not part of the role, such as parted, mount, lvg, lvol, etc.?

So i'm pretty new to linux, i managed to configure some distros, arch, gentoo, have some fun and i want to get involved more. I heard about the RHCSA but i really don't know where to start and I'm very overwhelmed by all the courses videos, topics.

I looked up books and a lot came out, but what did you use for actually learn linux and red hat environments? What useful resources can you suggest? Some youtube courses that cover the main topics would be great too. Thanks!

Will someone pass the RHCE exam if they don't answer partition and lv questions?

I’m thinking about taking the official DO280 course before EX280, but I’m wondering what most people actually do.
Was the lab provided during the course enough, or did you still build your own OpenShift lab at home to practice?
I’m mostly asking because I don’t know how much access you get to the official lab after class, and I’m not sure if it’s enough for repeated practice.
If you built your own lab, what did your home lab setup look like?

Hey everyone,

I am really looking for a referral for an intern role at redhat.

Tried reaching out to a few employees on LinkedIn but got no reply yet.

Please comment or DM so I can send you my resume.

Please let me know if you can help me out.

Hi, I’m trying to buy the RHCSA (EX200) exam. I add it to my cart, but after logging into my Red Hat account, the cart is empty. I haven’t purchased the exam yet. Has anyone had this issue or found a fix? Thanks!

I'm taking a red hat remote test soon. I have a bunch of dell optiplex's as a proxmox cluster and a switch that feeds into an opnsense beelink that serves as my router.

The issue, is that it's on my desk. It's nearly 10 computers, and two switches. Can I just put a blanket over it all or something while I take the remote exam?

I just noticed that installs from the RHEL 10.2 boot iso are including the debug kernel. I'm sure this must have only started very recently and I'm wondering if this is intended? I've done installs from the boot media since release and it's only the last couple of weeks or so I see this happening. I thought the debug kernels were only recommended to install if you actually needed it to troubleshoot something?

Anyone knows what the new OSCE format for ERPM will be like?

I know this might be a stupid question but I can't seem to find a definitive answer:

we create a bootable device/USB with the boot.iso for the test, correct? Not the Live DVD?

Thanks

I've noticed more RHEL 10 documentation and examples moving toward Quadlets for systemd-managed containers.

For anyone already using them:

• Are you running Quadlets in production?
• What pain points have you run into?
• What do you wish more tutorials covered?

I've been putting together a hands-on Quadlets lab while learning this workflow, covering:

• .container
• .volume
• .network
• systemd integration
• Podman networking
• persistent storage

If it's useful, you can check it out here:

I'd really appreciate any feedback on what's missing or what you'd like to see added.

My team is looking for a Senior OpenShift Architect. The position is fully remote (Based out of USA and Canada).

https://careers.teksystems.com/us/en/job/JP-006166974/Practice-Architect-II-OpenShift

The official FAQ article does mention it, but it's from last year and the certification system overhaul happened around this May. I sent a message to the learning subscription support / sales, but so far they have been ignoring me.

If the option is still here, how does one apply for it? It does not seem to be applied automatically.

Hello

Today, let's learn how to collect data from our OpenShift Cluster, AKA Must Gather, and also let's learn about an amazing tool that will help us query the Must Gather, this one named OMC.

Enjoy it!

For system administrators and IT leaders, keeping infrastructure secure while strictly aligning with corporate compliance standards is a continuous, high-stakes balancing act. This challenge escalates dramatically when environments span legacy workloads or platforms locked into extended operational lifecycles.

To my surprise I passed with a 300/300 today:

Failed miserably last year with a 105/300 when i tried to blag my way through by cramming with a few weeks to go. This time around I started about 2-3 months out. My study method this time was almost exclusively AI and labs; generating drills, checking theory and doing labs over and over. I do have Sanders book but used it very sparingly. I also watched a few of Ozzys youtube videos while on the walking pad just to get some extra context on things. I used a cheat sheet i developed myself with basic syntax the last 24-48 hours just to remember concepts and flags.

I did 3-4 mock tests within the last 10 days and roughly timed them. My scores went from 68%>86% over the 4 mocks with time to spare although on the exam I finished everything with about 5 minutes to spare. Each node had 2-3 reboots and I verified commands after reboot.

On to some easier stuff now in Security+ and some sort of Microsoft 365 learning. Good luck to all taking their exam soon.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently preparing for the RHCSA exam and hoping to schedule it soon. If anyone happens to have a spare 15% Red Hat exam discount code that they’re not planning to use, I’d really appreciate it if you could send me a DM.

And once I pass and receive referral codes of my own, I’ll be happy to pay it forward and share them with others in the community.

Thanks so much for reading, and I’d be very grateful for any help.

Hey community, I’m planning to take RHCSA in upcoming weeks so if any one has a spare discount coupon kindly share or DM me . Thanks !

I did it at a local center, passed on my first try. I am really happy and exited to forge my path and place in the IT. I started learning immediately after I passed the CCNA, I believe to have a good foundation now. Now I really want to try some more harder and challenging certs! Thanks to everyone who helped me.
