access to the ansible website during the exam

[Alexandre3]

Are we allowed to access https://docs.ansible.com/ (via browser) during the ex294 exam?

[Travis]

There is no Internet access during Red Hat exams. Many of the exams do have the needed documentation provided as part of the questions or under the "Additional Information" link. In the instance of things like the Ansible documentation, you should also be warned that "searching" doesn't work since all documentation is offline, so you must know how to navigate the documentation without using the search option.

Thanks for the answer. I'm asking because I'm using ansible-doc to prepare. The question was whether we even had offline access to the Ansible documentation, just like there is in the Kubernetes (cka) certification.

So for the system documentation you will have everything needed there. The ansible-doc and the newer ansible-navigator doc is there and you also should have the ability to install any packages and RPMs on the machines just like class. You should also have the ability to use ansible-navigator in the "interactive" mode and look at the collections and the documentation directly there for the modules and collections as this is something I demo when I teach RH294 courses.

Has a bunch of demos and should also be good for the most recent version of the course too as I recently delivered it and updated demos a few weeks ago.

Travis, thank you very much for the guidance.
