EX442 - Red Hat Certified Specialist in Performance Tuning exam

Objectives

You should be able to perform the tasks listed below:

  • Use utilities such as vmstat, iostat, mpstat, sar, gnome-system-monitor, top, and powertop to analyze and report system and application behavior

  • Configure systems to provide performance metrics, using utilities such as Performance Co-Pilot (PCP)

  • Use the pluggable authentication module (PAM) mechanism to implement restrictions on critical system resources

  • Use /proc/sys, sysctl, and /sys to examine, modify, and set kernel run-time parameters

  • Use utilities such as dmesg, dmidecode, x86info, and sosreport to profile system hardware configurations

  • Analyze system and application behavior using tools such as ps, strace, top, and Valgrind

  • Configure systems to run SystemTap scripts

  • Alter process priorities of both new and existing processes

  • Configure systems to support alternate page sizes for applications that use large amounts of memory

  • Given multiple versions of applications that perform the same or similar tasks, choose which version of the application to run on a system based on its observed performance characteristics

  • Configure disk subsystems for optimal performance using mechanisms such as swap partition placement, I/O scheduling algorithm selection, and file system layout

  • Configure kernel behavior by altering module parameters

  • Calculate network buffer sizes based on known quantities such as bandwidth and round-trip time, then set system buffer sizes based on those calculations

  • Select and configure tuned profiles

  • Manage system resource usage using control groups

As with all Red Hat performance-based exams, configurations must persist after reboot without intervention.

Preparation

Red Hat encourages you to consider taking Red Hat Performance Tuning: Linux in Physical, Virtual, and Cloud (RH442) to help prepare. Attendance in this class is not required, so one can choose to take just the exam. Many successful candidates who have come to class already possessing substantial skills and knowledge have reported that the class made a positive difference for them.

While attending Red Hat classes can be an important part of one's preparation to take this exam, attending class does not guarantee success on the exam. Previous experience, practice, and native aptitude are also important determinants of success.

Many books and other resources on system administration for Red Hat's products are available. Red Hat does not officially endorse any as preparation guides for its exam. Nevertheless, you may find additional reading deepens understanding and can prove helpful.

Exam format

This exam is a performance-based evaluation of system administration skills and knowledge. Candidates perform a number of routine system administration tasks and are evaluated on whether they have met specific objective criteria. Performance-based testing means that candidates must perform tasks similar to what they perform on the job.

Prospective employers of a Red Hat Certified Specialist in Linux Performance Tuning should verify any and all claims by people claiming to hold this credential by requesting their certificate number and verifying it using the Red Hat certification verification tool.

Scores and reporting

Official scores for exams come exclusively from Red Hat Certification Central. Red Hat does not authorize examiners or training partners to report results to candidates directly. Scores on the exam are usually reported within 3 U.S. business days.

Exam results are reported as section scores. Red Hat does not report performance on individual items, nor will it provide additional information upon request.

Audience

  • Experienced Linux system administrators responsible for maximizing resource utilization through performance tuning

  • A Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE®) interested in becoming a Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA)

Prerequisites

  • Be a Red Hat Certified System Architect (RHCSA®) or have comparable work experience and skills (RHCE would be even better)

  • Take Red Hat Performance Tuning: Linux in Physical, Virtual, and Cloud (RH442) or have extensive work experience in performance tuning

  • Review the objectives for this exam

Certification

By passing this exam, you become a Red Hat Certified Specialist in Performance Tuning, which also counts toward becoming a Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA®).

DO370 - Enterprise Kubernetes Storage with Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation

Traditional storage options available to Kubernetes administrators are limited and lack flexibility and/or versatility. Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation provides real advantages, even when it is backed by cloud storage such as AWS EBS and sophisticated on-prem legacy storage like SAN arrays. Many companies rely on third-party solutions to manage backup and disaster recovery in production. However, proper planning to implement these solutions requires knowledge of the Kubernetes CSI and OAPD APIs. This course walks the student through the recommended steps of configuring and managing storage services for container and Kubernetes services. Course content coverage Deploy Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation in internal and external mode.  Provision non-shareable block storage to applications like databases.  Provision shareable block storage to applications like virtual machines.  Provision shareable file storage to such applications as CI/CD pipelines and AI/ML. Provision shareable object storage to applications, such as AI/ML and media streaming.  Provision storage for Red Hat OpenShift cluster services, such as monitoring and registry.  Monitor and expand storage capacity and performance. Attach and detach storage from an application for backup and archiving.  Create and access volume snapshots and clones.  Troubleshoot internal Ceph components of Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation.  Perform backup and restore operations using the OADP API.

RH415 - Red Hat Security: Linux in Physical, Virtual and Cloud

Manage security of Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems deployed in bare-metal, virtual, and cloud environments. Red Hat Security: Linux in Physical, Virtual, and Cloud (RH415) is designed for security administrators and system administrators who need to manage the secure operation of servers running Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®, whether deployed on physical hardware, as virtual machines, or as cloud instances. This course is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5, Red Hat Satellite 6.3, Red Hat Ansible® Engine 2.5, Red Hat Ansible Tower 3.2, and Red Hat Insights. Maintaining security of computing systems is a process of managing risk through the implementation of processes and standards backed by technologies and tools. In this course, you will learn about resources that can be used to help you implement and comply with your security requirements. Manage compliance with OpenSCAP. Enable SELinux on a server from a disabled state, perform basic analysis of the system policy, and mitigate risk with advanced SELinux techniques. Proactively identify and resolve issues with Red Hat Insights. Monitor activity and changes on a server with Linux Audit and AIDE. Protect data from compromise with USBGuard and storage encryption. Manage authentication controls with PAM. Manually apply provided Ansible Playbooks to automate mitigation of security and compliance issues. Scale OpenSCAP and Red Hat Insights management with Red Hat Satellite and Red Hat Ansible Tower.
