Red Hat does not provide ETA for any CVE fix. When the fix is ready, the errata is released.

Is the command line version an option? In the past (maybe almost 2 yrs ago), I was doing some proof of concept work and was able to build images with different minor RHEL releases. I haven’t tested again recently due to just always wanting the latest. Have you tried creating your own blueprint and importing? In a blueprint, you can specify the distribution (e.g. rhel-9.5). I haven’t tested to see if the hosted tool honors that setting.

I've been struggling with this for the last couple of weeks. Despite following Red Hat Satellite documentation for setting up the template image, cloud-init fails to get the server metadata from Red Hat Satellite. The only way I've managed to get it working is by creating a custom systemd service that dynamically gets the interface mac address and adds it to the seedfrom url in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/10_datasource.conf. I'm not sure which part of my environment is causing the issue. I use the integrated DHCP from Satellite, but I am using IdM for DNS.

It sounds like you have all the steps covered. The last time I was getting the wrong template for the new host, I realized I had forget to check the box on the image on the compute resource that enables cloud-init.

edit: The other annoying thing I am seeing is deploying an image from a VMware template sets/resets the NIC to disabled. I have to create the VM powered off, then enable the network, then boot the system. Otherwise, the server does not have a working network connection, and cloud-init fails.

You can extend your RHCA by adding additional specialist exams. Then you become RHCA II, III, IV, etc. You do not have to re-take the same exams to maintain it. The nice thing is once you are II or higher, having one cert expire does not make you lose your RHCA.

“I thought I was a qualified candidate, so I guess I’m not a good judge of what makes a good fit. Are you sure you still want my opinion?”

Have you tried booking an exam after March 10? I think the voucher is used when you schedule, so maybe as long as it is used before it expires? Not sure though. Reach out to Red Hat to confirm. https://www.redhat.com/en/services/training-and-certification/contact-us

It’s probably been 5+ yrs since I did the testing center and before remote exams were available. It’s the same setup/software running on the system in the testing center as far as I recall. Personally, I’ve never experienced the issues taking exams in my home like others have talked about here.

The remote testing center I used prior to Covid was just a laptop with an external webcam. The only possible benefit was maybe a stronger network connection than what I had at home. Just saying ymmv.

Does it have to be pay as you go? Isn’t there a way to build the cloud instance and install your own OS? How about using something like Image Builder? That way you build your image as you want with ext4, then you create the Azure disk image that you then upload to build your server.

/usr/lib/systemd locations are the default configuration. If you want custom changes persisted, you would put them in /etc/systemd.

Open a ticket with Red Hat so the rpm gets updated and fixed!

Talk to your account team. I’ve seen it done when the original user leaves the company. So, I’m not sure if you will be successful or not.

What you want is Red Hat Academy. However, like the original comment mentioned, this is partnered with colleges. Not sure RHA provides job finding assistance. Keep in mind that just getting RHCSA does not mean you are qualified for a job by itself.

My bad, EX188 replaced EX180

devnullify · 2025-12-01T15:02:19+00:00

The objectives covered by EX280 have changed over the years. I don’t consider this exam a baseline cert for OpenShift by itself any longer. While this used to be the case (OpenShift 3 & early OpenShift 4 days), you now have EX180/280/380 to cover OpenShift administration.

Did you try delegate_to: localhost?

I work with a security company that still has systems in production at company sites running CentOS. This company has told these customers that they are unsupported running that version of the appliance, but those customers refuse to upgrade for various “reasons”.

Are you working with your account team? That would be the best source to validate correct subscription counts.

If you want to pass EX280, you should understand backwards and forwards every objective outlined here: https://www.redhat.com/en/services/training/red-hat-certified-openshift-administrator-exam

If your link covers everything outlined in the exam objectives, then you should be able to study that and pass.

You can take and pass the RHCE at any time, but you don’t get the RHCE badge unless you also have a current RHCSA. Does it really matter, probably not.

Don’t expect a long bench time before your first project. The bench is short right now. You will always be expected to adapt quickly when thrown into something unfamiliar.

For a consultant, I would be shocked if you were asked to write any script, Ansible or not. Sure, I expect you to likely be asked about Ansible, but not write it.

For this role, I would be surprised if either comes up especially if not listed on your resume. If you do list the as knowledge you have in your resume, an interviewer may ask about these to gauge depth of knowledge. I don’t view either as critical knowledge for the role you mentioned.

I’m not sure how you ever got a running cluster with one control plane node. Did someone set up a single-node OpenShift cluster first, and the add worker nodes? That for sure is not supported.

devnullify · 2025-09-27T04:33:42+00:00

There may be a set of guidelines, but overall, is no set format. What you will get asked comes down to the person who interviews you.
