Red Hat System Administration II (RHEL 10) [RH134]

OVERVIEW

Build the skills to perform the key tasks needed to become a full-time Linux administrator.

Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) is the second part of the RHCSA training track for IT professionals who have already attended Red Hat System Administration I. The course goes deeper into core Linux system administration skills in the installation and deployment of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, storage configuration and management, 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.  This course assumes that students have completed Red Hat System Administration I (RH124).  Experienced Linux administrators who seek rapid preparation for the RHCSA certification should instead start with RHCSA Rapid Track (RH199).

This course is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0.

Following course completion, hands-on lab access will remain available for up to 45 days for any live course that includes a virtual environment.

Note: This course is offered as a five day in person class, a five day virtual class or is self-paced. Durations may vary based on the delivery. For full course details, scheduling, and pricing, select your location then “get started” on the right hand menu.

Virtual Learning

This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.
