Red Hat System Administration II (RHEL9)

This course is geared toward Windows system administrators, network administrators, and other system administrators who are interested in supplementing current skills or backstopping other team members, in addition to Linux system administrators who are responsible for these tasks:

• Configuring, installing, upgrading, and maintaining Linux systems using established standards and procedures
• Providing operational support
• Managing systems for monitoring system performance and availability
• Writing and deploying scripts for task automation and system administration

This training provides your team members with a solid foundation in Linux system administration, helping ensure improved ability to manage your infrastructure efficiently. This helps provide better system reliability, improve efficient system and storage utilization, and faster and more accurate responsiveness to system failures. 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.

Red Hat has created this course in a way intended to benefit our customers, but each company and infrastructure is unique, and actual results or benefits may vary.

As a result of attending this course, you should be able to perform the key tasks needed to become a full-time Linux administrator. Students will be introduced to more advanced administrative topics, such as storage management using LVM, SELinux management, and automated installation. This course goes deeper into enterprise Linux administration, including file systems and partitioning, logical volumes, SELinux, firewall configuration, and troubleshooting.
