Hi, My name is Steinn; I'm a CCIE "network specialist," whatever that means,
More and more network gear is *nix based, so I figured why not learn some solid basics.

Hoping to take the EX200 in the next 60 days.
To be able to flex on other networking people with my VIM skills.

Hey,

my name is Alexander and I am a senior consultant and (sadly in-active) Red Hat Certified Instructor based in Germany.

I started as a Linux, BSD and Windows administrator, moved to JBoss EAP Administration (giving training, workshops and consulting) and then moved again over to Kubernetes and Openshift Administration.

At the moment I am on my way to the Red Hat Certified Architect and just did the ex180, ex280 and ex288 in the last couple of days.

EX425 (retiring OCP security) is the next one before I give the RHCE exam a new try, as I failed ~2 years ago and had not time to retry in the meantime.

Wow that sounds like a lot of experience. I completed the Redhat administration course for my associate degree and now I would like to take the exam. Any recommendations on which exam to take first and how to prepare would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance

I'm from Brazil. My first language is Japanese, and I also speak Brazilian Portuguese.

In the past, I learned a bit about Linux, Python and OpenStack by joining the OpenStack Cinder community. This experience is being very useful for my current job as a sysadmin in RH Training.

My next steps are learning about Ceph and OpenShift.

I also invented a patent (US9576501B2) which helps visually impaired people to code in Python or locate themselves when reading a long text.

Hello,

I am a current student of Fayetteville Technical Community College.  As someone who always had an interest with computers, I figured I should pursue a degree in technology.  This is my first time dealing with Red Hat but my second class using Linux. Lets hope I retained some of the information to help me get through. Looking forward to learning new things!
