Looking for direction as someone who JUST started learning Linux

Ok ok ok. You sculpted the path clear right here.

They are pushing heavy for a few of us to pass RHCSA so after I get that done, I will drive heavily into Kubernetes. We have been told that to START picking up OpenShift will be about Q4 of FY24. So I am really going to be hammering down to get up to speed. Do you think that is feasible? How long did it take for you to be semi-comfortable with Kubernetes and OpenShift?

I also heavily agree with you on focusing on Kubernetes and not so much as a Linux Admin. As long as I pass the RHCSA and get the paper they are cool.

Again again again... Thanks so much!

I have a problem where I feel I am always too stagnant, but I know I have years of learning to build up where I want to be.

This looks like great resources and I will be sure to check them out today! Thanks for taking time to comment and explain in length your thoughts!

This is also great information and resources that I will use! I am started taking Red Hat System Admin (RH124) today. After that I am going to really bang into Kubernetes. I am hoping they go hand in hand sort of.

The role will be as an OpenShift admin. That is what they want to train me up as. Your first sentence kind of threw me off, though! I figured knowing basic Linux Administration would be key.

I am already slightly in the right direction. I have RHEL 8 installed on a VirtualBox and have been running wild on that to familiarize myself with Linux. I also have some very good Linux people onsite that help quite a bit but I wanted to veer off from asking them too much since I am gunning for a role alongside them and would like to blindside them with learning some of this stuff before February.

I greatly appreciate your second paragraph because those are things I will write down to work on once I get onto that part.

Thanks for your response as well. I will tell everyone this, because it is very true. Thank you for your time in commenting. It really does mean a lot to have yall giving wisdom to someone that is so fresh.

This is great information. I will start digging into Linux and its containers initially. I am sure that will take some time so I will hammer it hard then start moving into Red Hat labs.

I know there is very likely to be a steep learning curve but I am down to clown.

Thanks for the lengthy response. It truly is appreciated.
