RHCSA Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (UPDATED): Training and Exam Preparation Guide (EX200), Second Edition

Ive gone through more Linux books than I care to admit. I can say that by far this book has made it easier for me to understand the material. I just love the way the author explains things. while reading, I get the feeling that he is not skimming over anything or assuming someone knows this or that, which is the feeling Ive gotten from other Linux books ive read. reasons I love this book -easy to read -thorough presentation of material -end of chapter quizzes and exercises within the chapters -awesome labs. I cant say enough good things about the labs. The labs really reinforce the information. There are labs which are kind of walkthroughs where the steps are presented (in smaller font) and there are labs where the answer is not presented but touches on every topic discussed in the chapter. book is a 10/10

This book is superior to the Sander van Vugt book, IMO. This book has some grammatical mistakes here and there, but it does a great job at focusing in on what you need for the test, and gives many great CLI examples. The four practice exams, at the end of the book, are well thought out as well, which I cannot say for the Sander van Vugt book. Having bought and read both books, this one stands out as the better of the two, without a doubt (IMO).

This is a great book I went from being a novice to certified in my year anniversary of having this book. It is great for learning Red Hat and I carry it with me everywhere. The labs are great and gives the reader practical experience. So why only 4 stars. This book can be more verbose for topics starting at chapter 17-23. I struggled with learning NFS, SELinux and why my rootless containers weren’t working properly. I love this book but I had to augment my learning with videos especially by Sander van Vugt.

I combined this book with Cloud Guru to study for the EX200. This book provided far deeper explanations. I've learned so much from this book (as someone that relatively recently started learning about system administration). I imagine that even the experienced can benefit from this one, as a lot of ground is covered in detail. This book will remain close to me for reference.

One of the best Linux books by a country a mile. The logical flow of the material is immense. Had to read from cover to cover. The author doesn't assume things. Very easy to read content, well-explained concepts, and nice labs. I recommend it to anyone interested in learning RHEL. The book is a 10/10.

Passed with 300/300 using just this book. Read the entire book, did all of the exercises and did all four practice exams daily until I could do them from memory.

Got a perfect 300 score using ONLY this book. I read it one time, cover to cover, did all the exercises and the 4 practice exams. The only thing I needed to brush up on was the file/directory ACLs, (getfacl, setfacl) and setgid/sticky bits with permission stuff. Tip if you get this book: Do all 4 of the practice exams until you can complete each task from memory without any doubt. If you can do that, you can pass the exam.

Obviously used this in preparation for the RHCSA 8 exam and updated topics including containers. Well written, presented all topics with guided practice exercises.

ho passato l' esame RHCSA i primi di marzo, ho cominciato a studiare solo ed esclusivamente su questo libro (anche se in genere si acquista anche la guida ufficiale), è strutturato in modo da farti passare l' esame, quindi, ti introduce all' argomento, spiega come funziona, con dei semplici esercizi da fare ti spiega come funziona e a fine capitolo il libro ha sempre un set di domande per verificare se hai appreso cio che hai studiato, infine da anche laboratori da effettuare in base all' argomento (in fase di studio consiglio personalente di farli tutti almeno uno ad argomento al giorno) alla fine del libro hai 4 simulazioni di esame. quest'ultime sono prove molto simili a quelle che mi sono trovato all' esame, due server, 23 task da completare, 3 ore. (consiglio di allenarsi a fare le simulazioni di esame in meno di 2 ore e mezza) tutti i giorni, uno al giorno fino al momento dell esame, li devi completare tutti al 100% in meno di 2 ore e mezza (ogni task non ha soluzione, semplicemente ti dice la pagina in cui è presente l' esercizio che ti porta alla soluzione). tempo e dedizione sono il segreto di questo libro, che in fin dei conti non va nemmeno troppo a fondo su certe questioni, ma comunque mi ha permesso di essere certificato. lo consiglio vivamente a chi, come me, segue ALLA LETTERA ciò che ti dice di fare il libro. senza strafare ne inventarsi regole strane, vi ricordo che l' esame anche se basilare la prima metà, la seconda parte diventa molto ostica e serve esperienza nel settore e vi ricordo che avete solo 3 ore in sede di esame. quindi se decidete di comprare questo libro, per l' amor di Dio, fate quello che dice.

Ótimo livro.

Las prácticas guiadas y laboratorios están muy completos

The book is very well organized following all the exam objectives. The material is explained clearly with references and lots of practice examples. Have not passed the exam yet, but I really like learning using this book.
