Course update

An updated version of this course is available that uses a newer version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the lab environment. Therefore, the RHEL 9.0 version of the lab environment will retire on December 31, 2024. Please complete any work in this lab environment before it is removed on December 31, 2024. For the most up-to-date version of this course, we recommend moving to the RHEL 9.3 version.

Introduction

RHCSA Rapid Track

The Red Hat Certified System Adminstrator Rapid Track (RH199) course is designed as a rapid training course on system administration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux for IT professionals with significant exposure to Linux. Students with a foundational understanding of the Linux command line will learn key tasks to administer a single Red Hat Enterprise Linux system. This course is an accelerated course. When delivered as an instructor-led course, this course covers training content in 5 days that is normally covered during 10 days in Red Hat System Administration I and Red Hat System Administration II. Some concepts from those other two courses are covered only briefly in this course or are not covered.

Course Objectives	Expand on and extend skills that you gained during the Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) course. Build the needed skills of an RHCSA-certified Red Hat Enterprise Linux system administrator.
Audience	RHCSA Rapid Track (RH199) is designed as a rapid training course on the system administration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux for IT professionals with significant exposure to Linux. Students should be comfortable with running common Linux commands from the shell prompt. Students who lack this knowledge are strongly encouraged to take Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) instead.
Prerequisites	You are expected to be comfortable with the following list of activities: Create files and directories with relative and absolute paths. Copy and move files. Create and restore archive files. Interpret file system permissions. Locate files in the system. Write simple Bash scripts.
