Hey man thanks so much for all these RHCSA videos. Without a doubt they're going to be a huge reason why I'm going to pass my upcoming RHCSA exam. Very concise and easy to follow.
@@natepowell2737 congratulations mate! which of the videos in this playlist was core and critical to your passing and the exam in general? which of the objectives in the course outline do you feel you should have practiced more?
hi, last year in september i took my first try for the rhcsav9 and i totaly failed. yesterday i took a second attempt and passed! one of the best sources were your videos, they are all well explained and educational. keep up the good work. im looking forward to start the rhce and using your videos.
i passed The RHCSA V9 exam by the help of your videos, thank you so much for making them, cant fully express my gratitude but i hope you feel me thank you Beanologi !!!
Hi there. I am aiming to get back to producing content again here as soon as possible - Especially to refresh some more of the now outdated videos. Thank you!
Hey beanologi, your videos are absolutely amazing! (Subscribed) I finished Sanders Van Vugt's course. However, it started to feel like reading a book without practicing enough... Are your videos enough to be prepared for the RHCSA? (I'm watching them while writing the code myself along with ChatGPT explanations and Sanders summaries that i wrote) How much does the playlist cover? Can you recommend another source after finishing watching your videos? I'm fairly new to Linux :)
Thank you for your feedback. The RHCSA videos of this channel currently satisfy most of the listed objectives but there are still several subdomains and areas that are yet to be covered. At least I got through most of the "hard" ones but I hopefully will be able to finish up the series in the near future. Also, I especially recommend having a diverse set of resources to learn from so please keep up the good research work! Another good source is Red Hat's own training material... but in terms of freebies, there are videos by `Computers Security and Gadgets` and `Eddie Jennings` on TH-cam - I watched those a bit back when I was preparing for the cert and before I made videos. I also used Red Hat's free product documentation which is a separate entity from their training offerings to supplement my studies. One piece of advice is to create your own practice scenarios and try to work through them in a VM without access to other resources except man pages. Many people watch videos and absorb information well but aren't always retaining as much of the hands-on skills as they would desire. Videos like mine "feel" informative, and sure, they probably are lol, but nothing beats testing yourself! Thats kinda what I want to say.
@@beanologi Thank you! I’ve checked their videos already, yours are the best ;) I think I’ll go through all of them and just fill the missing objectives with the two others
Hey @beanologi, I'm approaching the end of the series. Can you advise on a good source to get an idea of what the real exam will look like? Is there a simulator or a place where I can do a sample test? I'm a bit worried about spending $400 before trying the real thing.
Hi,@@samuelalbershtein3122 , Red Hat has a nice video showing what the exam experience will be like. You can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/Me6Y12-sux8/w-d-xo.html They aren't pulling any goofs or gags, they show a real screencap of how the exam environment typically works. It may have gotten some updates in the past years but the same core idea remains with how they issue the questions and your chat with the proctor and whatnot. Note that this is for the remote exams, but as far as I am aware, it is basically the same kiosk software they would use if you went to a testing center. Remote exam is a good option though, as then you don't have to worry about the testing center having slow bad equipment. The ones I've been to have been suboptimal for me so now I opt for remote whenever its available (I always pick a good day with no bad weather to reduce chances of power outages lol). That was a bit of a tangent but yeah, choosing remote or not is up to you. I am not sure what you're planning to go with. As far as simulators and sample tests go, I would suggest to stick with practice test questions and labs from published authors or you can try doing what I do in the videos where I pick an objective out of the list and try familiarizing with it using different situations. I have emailed Red Hat training reps years back about the objectives list and they basically told me it is a very accurate list of what they expect from a candidate during the exam - no tricks. Many people who have taken such exams will tell you that the published objectives are a very good representation of the exam content and anything they missed on the exam was on them for not thoroughly practicing all of the points in the list. Mind maps of the objectives also can help a lot - where you draw lines between the objectives and create a map of a realistic scenario that uses all of them to accomplish some tasks. Your "simulator" should ideally be your own homelab. If you want a more "Red Hatty" environment, the Red Hat Learning subscription has various free trial programs that give you about an hour or two of web-lab time which has a full network set up for you to interact with. Lastly, the exam voucher should still be applicable to the free retake program they introduced last year. Overall, it is understandable to be worried or nervous, vouchers aren't cheap at all but it is also a motivator to make the most of that purchase. I think you have what it takes to score very well or even perfectly as you are showing a lot of interest. I applaud that 👏
You’re welcome. I didn’t change any vim-specific config - I tweak the default gnome-terminal colors and crank up the brightness sliders for each of them in the settings so everything is high contrast to maximize readability.
I wonder why it tells me bad configuration option on all the lines of my .ssh/config file I have it set exactly like yours, I am running RHEL, also how do I figure out the ports of my appservers?
Your port numbers should be the default (22) unless you recall specifically changing the sshd listening port setting for one of your machines (and you won’t need to specify it when it’s the default). I indent with spaces in the video and use proper case for the config directives, hope that helps.
What's up beano I set up all the servers , if I want to make it a replica of the exam environment how would I do that with the just two nodes. Would I use workstation and app server one or make a clone of workstation and use workstation one as node one and the clone as node? Thanks
Hi there, I cannot disclose many details about the exam environment. In general, with the disclosed exam objectives and Rhcsa documentation in mind, they do imply you will be configuring more than one machine which you show to understand just fine. Nonetheless, It doesn’t hurt to have more than 2 servers set up, as I have in my labs, as you can test more admin configurations simultaneously without resorting to many VM snapshots. In a realistic sysadmin environment, it isn’t uncommon for sysadmins to use a GUI terminal and ssh client like SuperPUTTY or gnome-terminal and ssh to administer a real system in the field. The rhcsa tries to be realistic in that aspect. Another general tip is to use the minimal available installation profile for RHEL so you know how to fetch any DNF packages that are not guaranteed to be installed out of the box. Lastly, You may want to watch Red Hat’s remote exams tutorial which can provide some context about the environment with a RH approved resource for exam candidates to refer to. Thanks
Without a doubt, one of the easier to understand videos on TH-cam! Tks.
Nice to hear! 😊

what color scheme are you using for vim ? thanks for you vid
