EX294 RHEL 8

[DanN7]

Has the RHEL 8 version of EX294 been discontinued?

The EX294 page only mentions RHEL 9.

Hello @DanN7 

To get the most accurate and up-to-date information

I suggest you get in touch with the exam team by submitting the form at the below link

This is a terrible response. Why not just answer their question? Why bother answering at all? Of course they can submit the form, but they are taking advantage of the community forum to ask the question here. How about you get on internal chat, ask the question to the exam team and answer then the user? You're a moderator - pointing someone to another place defeats the entire purpose of this forum.

Update:  

The user would get only two versions now

Thanks @alexajo

Hello @DanN7 !

Thanks for reaching out!

Yes EX294 v8.4 is still available. While purchasing the exam it will not show any version but during scheduling the exam - you will have the option to select either v9 or v8.4. 

Let me know if you need any other info on this. 

All the best!

@Matt86 Yes it is still available if you are talking about EX294. And also the respective course is also available RH294v8.4

There is no info about the RH294 v8.4 becoming legacy content in a near future ( atleast there is no such banner in the learning portal - if it is being planned then there will be a banner about it - not yet )
