About this Course

Linux System Administrator Part Two (RH134) progresses the RHCSA certification journey for IT practitioners who have completed Red Hat System Administration I. It delves further into essential Linux administration capabilities, focusing on advanced storage setup, the deployment and installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, securing systems via SELinux, handling scheduled tasks, overseeing the startup sequence and system diagnostics, elementary performance optimization, and enhancing command-line efficiency through scripting and automation. This curriculum is designed with the assumption that participants have undergone Linux System Administrator Part One (RH124).
This is the course equivalent of Red Hat Administration II.
