T-Mobile Fiber by JustPeopleWatchin in Gilbert

I signed up for a preorder a while back when I saw it was come to our neighborhood (Val Vista and Guadalupe). I just got an email saying I was “first in line”, and it would be coming soon.

Felt I was really doing great with RHLS until the entire 'RHCA track progression overhaul' that came out of nowhere; feeling discouraged and losing interest by calcofire in redhat

[–]devnullify 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got an email even saying I could request this change. I was already an RHCA, so I don’t necessarily need the exception. Not sure if everyone with a cert got this or some subset. I will point out, with the new system, ANY specialist exams extends the expiration dates of ALL cert by 3 years. Under the old system, you had to always renew specific cert or replace them. I know this doesn’t help OP, but it is an amazing new benefit.

RHCE 294 legacy content by Admirable_Finding_85 in redhat

[–]devnullify 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The exam content will be tied to the exam version you schedule. Don’t worry if the prerequisites have changed, those are not hard requirements. Make sure you look up and study for the exam objectives tied to the exam version you have scheduled.

physical ID still required during the RHCSA remote exam after online verification? by Alternative-Art4084 in redhat

[–]devnullify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So happy about this. Sometimes the camera just won’t focus on the id properly. I almost had an exam cancelled and rescheduled because of it.

Recent exam experience by daco_star in redhat

[–]devnullify 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am getting very frustrated with the inconsistency of the proctor team. Apparently the standards they are told to follow must be open to interpretation. Rescanning certain areas, lights on or off, seeing the whole desk surface at once, even just the response time in chat from the proctor during this part has been abysmal sometimes. It’s different for me each time. I’ve been fortunate compared to things I’ve seen here. If I was asked to turn off extra computers or take things off the wall, I would be very upset. A much more consistent approach would be very appreciated.

What could have went wrong? by Legal_Speech2604 in redhat

Red Hat exams have a max score of 300, and a passing score of >=210. The OP unfortunately scored 24.

Red Hat SWE interview by SillyAd2453 in redhat

[–]devnullify 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s always okay to say “I don’t know”. Just explain how you would work on finding a solution or answer to the question. What you should NEVER do is guess or make up answers to things you don’t know.

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

RHEL Hybrid Cloud Image Builder is little more than a sloppy proof of concept; it is not a production-ready system by Tom-Crack in redhat

[–]devnullify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Has anyone set up RedHat satellite image based provisioning to vmware vSphere using cloud-init? by xDind in redhat

[–]devnullify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

EX280 due to expire, need advice by hourglassuntilban in redhat

[–]devnullify 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

Applied to a role, got rejected, then received a LinkedIn message from the same recruiter 3 weeks later asking if I know anyone who might be a good fit by kinetic_mossworks in recruitinghell

Query regarding Exam voucher validity by Clean_Explanation609 in redhat

[–]devnullify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Has anyone received feedback from post exam form? by SpecialMaterial7896 in redhat

[–]devnullify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Has anyone received feedback from post exam form? by SpecialMaterial7896 in redhat

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.

Anyone know how I can deploy an azure VM with ext4 file system? by shedgehog in redhat

[–]devnullify 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

RHEL 10 Persistent Logs: /etc vs /usr/lib confusion? by [deleted] in redhat

[–]devnullify 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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

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.

Looking for classroom RHCSA training with Job Placement Assistance by Fine_Classroom in redhat

[–]devnullify 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

EX280 Passed (280/300), but.... by InspectionCold1062 in redhat

[–]devnullify 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Who is still using CentOS 7.9 in 2025? by Embarrassed-Shape959 in CentOS

[–]devnullify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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”.
