Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) is the second part of the RHCSA training track for IT professionals who have already attended RH124: 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.
Experienced Linux administrators looking for 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.
