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.). This work has no connection to Red Hat, Inc. and is not endorsed or supported by 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.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
