Introduction
Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) is designed for IT professionals without previous Linux system administration experience. The course provides students with Linux administration competence by focusing on core administration tasks. This course also provides a foundation for students who plan to become full-time Linux system administrators by introducing key command-line concepts and enterprise-level tools.
This course is the first of a two-course series that helps a computer professional without Linux system administration knowledge to become a fully capable Linux administrator. These concepts are further developed in the follow-on course, Red Hat System Administration II (RH134).
This course is based on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux 10.0.
Audience profile
System administrators, platform engineers, developers, and other IT professionals who have limited Red Hat Enterprise Linux experience but need to perform essential Linux administration tasks on a single server.
Pre-requisites
Basic familiarity with computer systems as a user. Previous experience as a Linux user or with system administration of other operating systems might be beneficial.
