The RHCE RHEL 8 with Ansible course is a complete training program designed for system administrators and IT professionals preparing for the RHCSA and RHCE certifications. The course starts with installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 on VirtualBox, building a hands-on lab environment for real-world practice.
Learners then master Ansible fundamentals, including inventory management, modules, variables, facts, plays, and playbooks. The course provides step-by-step training on configuring Ansible, managing parallelism, distributing SSH keys, and setting up privilege escalation on managed nodes. Students also learn how to validate configurations using ad hoc commands and simple automation scripts.
Advanced topics include services management, firewall rules, storage and file systems, scheduled tasks (cron), archiving, and file content management. The course covers security best practices, Ansible Vault for protecting sensitive data, users and groups management, role creation, templates, and downloading roles from Ansible Galaxy.
