Move from system administrator to automation engineer with our Classroom and Online RHCE EX294 Training at WebAsha Technologies. The course builds hands-on Ansible automation skills on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 and prepares you for the performance-based EX294 exam.
Training overview:
The EX294 RHCE training is about writing Ansible playbooks that are fit for production, using the tools of the Ansible Automation Platform. In the labs you install and configure Ansible, manage inventories, use variables and facts, build reusable roles, template configuration files with Jinja2 and protect sensitive data. These are the skills the hands-on exam tests.
Intended audience:
This course is for Linux system administrators, DevOps engineers and automation specialists who hold or are working towards RHCSA and want to automate many systems at once. It also suits professionals in Pune who are moving into infrastructure-as-code and configuration management roles.
Topics covered:
-
Install and configure Ansible: Set up the Ansible development tools, edit the configuration files and build static inventories with host groups.
-
Playbooks and tasks: Write and run playbooks, use modules and handlers, and troubleshoot failures.
-
Variables, facts and templates: Use variables, gathered facts and Jinja2 templates so one playbook fits many hosts.
-
Roles and collections: Create reusable roles and use Ansible Content Collections.
-
Conditionals and loops: Control task flow with when conditions and loops, and handle errors.
-
Ansible Vault: Encrypt variables and files to protect passwords and other secrets.
-
Linux administration tasks: Automate packages, services, storage, firewall rules, users and scheduled jobs.
-
Automation at scale: Organise large playbooks with imports and includes, and target hosts with host patterns.
Requirements:
You should be comfortable with the Linux command line at RHCSA level. Online participants need a stable internet connection and a laptop or desktop to join the live sessions and cloud labs, because EX294 skills are learnt by doing the labs.
Prerequisites:
A current RHCSA (EX200) is required to earn RHCE. To prepare, Red Hat recommends RH124 and RH134 plus Red Hat Enterprise Linux Automation with Ansible (RH294, now listed by Red Hat as AU294) , or comparable experience.
Career benefits:
Employers hiring for Linux automation often ask for RHCE. In India, RHCE holders typically earn ₹6 LPA to ₹20+ LPA in roles such as Automation Engineer, DevOps Engineer and Senior Linux Administrator. RHCE is also the base certification for the RHCA.
