Course Description:
The RHCSA Fast Track course (RH199) is designed for experienced Linux System Administrators who want to harden their technical skill sets and become accredited with the RHCSA certification. Using a best-of-breed contemporary teaching approach, students will learn to properly manage a Linux workstation and server, including installation and configuration of local components and services as well as connections to existing network services. To successfully navigate this course, students must already have solid Linux command line experience to perform tasks at an accelerated pace. In addition, they should possess the necessary skills to execute common commands, such as cp, grep, sort, mkdir, tar, mkfs, ssh, and yum, and be familiar with accessing man pages for help. At the completion of the course, students will be adequately prepared to take the
Red Hat Certified System Administration (RHCSA) exam.
Audience:
Practiced Linux system administrators who currently manage Linux servers at the enterprise level
Skilled Linux system administrators who want or are required to demonstrate competencies by earning the
RHCSA certification
