Description

Whether in infrastructure or development, as a DevOps or site reliability engineer, Linux skills are now more relevant than ever for any IT job, forming the foundation of understanding the most basic layer of your architecture. With Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) becoming the most popular choice for enterprises worldwide, achieving the Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) certification will validate your Linux skills to install, configure, and troubleshoot applications and services on RHEL systems. Complete with easy-to-follow tutorial-style content, self-assessment questions, tips, best practices, and practical exercises with detailed solutions, this book covers essential RHEL commands, user and group management, software management, networking fundamentals, and much more. You'll start by learning how to create an RHEL 8 virtual machine and get to grips with essential Linux commands. You'll then understand how to manage users and groups on an RHEL 8 system, install software packages, and configure your network interfaces and firewall. As you advance, the book will help you explore disk partitioning, LVM configuration, Stratis volumes, disk compression with VDO, and container management with Podman, Buildah, and Skopeo. By the end of this book, you'll have covered everything included in the RHCSA EX200 certification and be able to use this book as a handy, on-the-job desktop reference guide. This book and its contents are solely the work of Miguel Pérez Colino, Pablo Iranzo Gómez, and Scott McCarty. The content does not reflect the views of their employer (Red Hat Inc.).

Ich arbeite seit vielen Jahren mit Linux,Fedora und auch RedHat Linux. Dieses Buch ist geeignet für den Einsteiger in RedHat Linux, wie auch für fortgeschrittene Admins.Das Buch ist gut sortiert nach den verschiedenen Adminstrationsthemen, (z.B. Usermanagement, Storagemanagement). Hierdurch kann man sehr gut punktuell nachlesen, wie man administrative Aufgaben effizient umsetzt. Die Konzepte werden verständlich beschrieben und man kann sich dann in die einzelnen erforderlichen Adminstrationskommandos einlesen, mit den man sein entwickeltes Konzept umsetzen kann. Trotz langjähriger Administrationserfahrung, konnte ich so die ein oder andere Aufgabenstellung eleganter und schneller lösen, als es ohne das Buch mögliuch gewesen wäre.Aus diesem Grunde eine klare Kaufempfehlung für alle, die Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (oder entsprechende Clones) administrierenHierbei waren

Unfortunately technical writers and end users disagree on how a manual should be written. The indexing on this one is worse than usual, however. But the content is on par with others. These books are more written for brushing up rather than learning. I find this true of every manual, regardless of who wrote it. I don't need to brush up on this I need to learn it.So, it's average, for what it is. You will find that there are things that must always be done together, but you won't find any mention of that in these kinds of books. It's frustrating, really, but there is no other choice. As far as books go, that is. YouTube has similar issues on the subject matter but is often better at getting to what I need. It's just difficult to find exactly what I need in a timely manner.So, final word, get this book AND search YouTube. Or get any book and search YouTube.
