The Ansible System Administration for RHCE RHEL 8 course focuses on automating core Linux system administration tasks using Ansible. It is designed for system administrators who want to manage enterprise Linux environments efficiently while preparing for the RHCE certification.
Learners begin by managing software packages and repositories, automating installation, updates, and version control across multiple systems. The course then covers service management, teaching how to start, stop, enable, and monitor system services using Ansible modules.
A major section is dedicated to firewall rules and security configuration, showing how to control network access and protect managed nodes. Students also learn to automate file systems and storage devices, including mounting, partitioning, and managing disk resources.
Additional topics include file content management, archiving, and scheduled tasks (cron) to automate backups and recurring jobs. The course also covers users and groups management and applies security best practices to maintain system integrity.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to automate daily Linux administration tasks, manage system resources securely, and build reliable automation workflows for RHCE certification and enterprise environments.
