Red Hat RHCE 8 (EX294) Capsules: Certification Guide

By Waleed Hassan

MAGIC has just started !!!

Red Hat RHCE 8 (EX294) Capsules will help you prepare and practice for the exam.

We will walk together through the exam objectives ; which is publicly available in the EX294 Exam Objectives Section in Red Hat official site; that are required before going to the actual exam. Practicing a lot is a key point here, so, please, practice, practice, practice!

We will review examples for each objective point from EX294 exam objectives that will let you get ready for the actual exam.

To make it clear! This is not the actual exam of-course as this is violating Red Hat exam NDA "Non Disclosure Agreement"! This is for Educational purposes only to get you ready for the exam and get your hands dirty with more practices and examples!

Also, I will never ever explain each and every word I'm talking about here. I follow the capsules concept. If you need something else, you will find many; and I mean it; many resources out-there which covers the theoretical and other stuff in more details. Are we clear?!

By the way, you can manipulate and customize any files or any configurations mentioned in the eBook as much as you want for the purpose of practicing things very well, why not! Just please revert it back or keep what we've mentioned in the capsules there; if it does not conflict with any other things you would put/change; when done with practicing so we can follow up and continue with our capsules!

What will be included in the eBook to be able to master RHCE (EX294) Exam:

Creating prerequisites to have a functional Ansible managed environment.
Separated and combined examples to try each and every exam objective.
Knowing modules == Knowing Ansible! We will work with many of them!
Roles. Are we ready for creating and using them!
Ansible Galaxy world. How to work with that world?!
LVM and Storage is a critical component. Let's make it simple here!
Generating custom reports using Ansible!
Vaults! shall we work with them?!
LAB preparation steps that we will use during practicing the provided examples.
Exam tips and tricks ;) !
and many more...

Again; all this will be in a short, simple, and easy to implement "Capsules" that will allow you to understand easily and quickly with simplicity what is needed and how to implement it even in real life! Capsules are short and direct to the point so let's keep it like that!

This is also important and let us make it clear:
I'm assuming that you are already familiar with Ansible and having enough experience with Red Hat System Administration tasks even through Ansible or without it. Being RHCSA certified engineer or having equivalent experience. I will explain in-short what I'm doing to keep the capsule simple and easy! But, please make sure you are really familiar with Ansible, RHCSA, and RHCE topics in order not to be unsatisfied with the capsules! As mentioned before, there are lots of resources and books out-there for learning such things. Here you will get ready for the exam through Capsules!

Are you ready ?!

One favor is required from you:
Your feedback matters to me, so, please let me know your feedback and your review about this eBook.

You can send me your feedback either here by reviewing the book or to my E-mail or through a message to my LinkedIN profile. You will be able to find them somewhere ;) !!!

Thank you!
