WEBVTT 00:01.030 --> 00:05.710 Hello and welcome to Red Hat certified system and the straighter course. 00:05.710 --> 00:10.110 My name is Java bar and I will be your instructor in this course. 00:10.270 --> 00:12.600 I've been teaching online for over two years. 00:12.620 --> 00:19.390 No I have several courses online that include quite a few links courses and some networking courses 00:19.390 --> 00:20.040 as well. 00:20.140 --> 00:23.480 And I've recently started doing some virtualization courses also. 00:23.860 --> 00:29.110 I have over 15 years in Linux and working. 00:29.350 --> 00:40.320 So why are CSA it's one of the most sought after certification in general in I.T. and just like if you 00:40.320 --> 00:47.700 have heard of CCMA for Cisco certifications this certification also stands out because it has retained 00:47.700 --> 00:54.080 its value from the time that it was offered by Redhat till now. 00:54.130 --> 01:00.570 And if you were to talk about strictly Linux then is definitely one off the top model all this the top 01:01.730 --> 01:06.770 sought after our design certification designed by their employers. 01:06.950 --> 01:15.990 If you have the certification you get a higher level off consideration for promotions for job interviews. 01:16.010 --> 01:17.880 It doesn't stand up. 01:18.290 --> 01:24.700 And the fact that I understand is because it's a performance based exam. 01:24.830 --> 01:32.810 Although the trend is most of the exam these days are becoming sort of becoming performance based. 01:33.120 --> 01:35.500 And the days are gone pretty much. 01:35.690 --> 01:44.280 When examinations used certification examinations used to be memorization of things. 01:44.450 --> 01:52.700 But since Linux itself is a subject where it requires you to do tasks all by hand so it makes sense 01:53.150 --> 01:59.750 for the exam to be hands on instead of just something verbal that you memorize and then go ahead and 02:00.650 --> 02:06.470 put it down on a piece of paper on the computer that you know this and thus the employer wants to know 02:06.950 --> 02:09.800 if you actually can do it online. 02:09.830 --> 02:14.060 So it's a certification based exam and it's always changing. 02:14.060 --> 02:19.070 So that's another thing it's not like a certification that we're going to go stale or you just took 02:19.070 --> 02:22.620 the certification today and even 10 years from now is still good. 02:22.760 --> 02:26.150 No it's not because the certification itself is changing. 02:26.150 --> 02:33.590 The technology is changing more and more new things get it added to Red Hat and that's why the certification 02:33.590 --> 02:36.470 has to be redone as well. 02:36.500 --> 02:39.620 Talk about the exam at the number for this exam. 02:39.650 --> 02:43.580 Yes two hundred for our CSA. 02:43.780 --> 02:51.620 It consists of hands on assignments 10 to 15 times that you're given passing a score although it's kind 02:51.620 --> 02:52.710 of vague. 02:52.880 --> 02:55.070 Red Hat kind of keeps it to themselves. 02:55.070 --> 02:57.080 Holiday great things. 02:57.200 --> 03:04.840 But in general people think if you've got one in 10 out of 300 then you should be passing a lot of time 03:04.840 --> 03:16.070 is two and a half hours exam cost as of March of 2018 is 400 USD and the certification validation is 03:16.070 --> 03:17.310 for three years. 03:17.510 --> 03:24.380 After that you have to be certified because in three years I can assure you that there will be new things 03:24.440 --> 03:27.560 added to the operating system itself far ahead. 03:27.950 --> 03:35.000 And some of the things might have changed since the last time you got the certification. 03:35.120 --> 03:45.340 So it makes sense for you to stay up to date on the other operating system. 03:45.340 --> 03:47.930 Now let's talk a little bit about the domains. 03:48.130 --> 03:51.730 Meaning what the exam is going to cover. 03:51.760 --> 03:53.350 It's going to cover a lot of stuff. 03:53.540 --> 04:00.070 They don't want to get you depressed or anything but it has seven different domains and begin to go 04:00.100 --> 04:01.960 briefly over each one of. 04:02.350 --> 04:09.930 First one is understanding and use all the central tools how to access a shell prompt an issue commands 04:09.940 --> 04:18.480 with correct syntax hard use input output redirection use a grab and regular expression access remote 04:18.480 --> 04:27.210 systems using S-sh log in and switch users in multi-user targets archive compress and pack and compressed 04:27.210 --> 04:28.000 files. 04:28.320 --> 04:34.740 So these are some of the tasks and I've read only half of them in the first domain and you've got 7 04:34.740 --> 04:35.440 domains. 04:35.520 --> 04:37.580 So it is quite a bit. 04:37.590 --> 04:43.210 It's very extensive because they are going to cover quite a bit index there. 04:43.470 --> 04:51.250 So they want to make sure that you understand that the second domain is Zerkin domain is operator running 04:51.250 --> 04:58.590 system which will include how to boo how to reboot how to shut down a normal system and hog indirect 04:58.720 --> 05:06.280 causes in order to get access to a system how to locate and system lock files in general and how to 05:06.280 --> 05:08.390 start and stop virtual machines. 05:10.170 --> 05:15.940 Again there are more items in this domain as well. 05:15.990 --> 05:23.240 I just read about half of them to the next one is going to be how to configure local storage. 05:23.290 --> 05:30.370 This is going to include a list create delete partitions or BRG P-T dust's create and remove physical 05:30.370 --> 05:38.140 volumes configure systems to mount file systems at boot kill the next item is going to be create and 05:38.140 --> 05:45.250 configure file system so hard to create mount unmount and use the fat ex-chief for it. 05:45.280 --> 05:53.200 SFX file systems Extel existing logical volumes create and manage access control lists diagnose and 05:53.200 --> 05:57.020 correct file permission problems. 05:57.190 --> 06:00.320 Next one is deploy configure and maintain system. 06:00.490 --> 06:06.130 This will include tasks like a start and stop services and configure services to start automatically 06:06.130 --> 06:07.250 at boot time. 06:07.360 --> 06:15.050 Install Redhat Enterprise Linux systems as Wortzel guests configure systems to use time services update 06:15.160 --> 06:20.550 the kernel package appropriately to ensure a bootable system modify the system bootloader 06:23.500 --> 06:29.620 kit the next one is going to be how to manage users and groups create delete and modify local users 06:30.360 --> 06:36.730 or their accounts change passwords and or just passwords a local user account create delete and modify 06:36.730 --> 06:43.390 local groups and group and bishops configure system to use an existing authentication service for user 06:43.540 --> 06:46.760 user and group information. 06:46.780 --> 06:49.060 Next one is Bendit security. 06:49.620 --> 06:55.150 We've got to learn how to configure firewall settings using firewall dash config firewall ACMD or IP 06:55.150 --> 06:56.340 tables. 06:56.430 --> 07:00.480 We can set enforcing and permissive mode as far as Linux. 07:00.490 --> 07:08.660 We get to the store default file contacts get a diagnose and address routine as the Linux policy violations. 07:08.770 --> 07:14.730 So these are all the domains are loaded the description description of each of the domains. 07:14.920 --> 07:16.930 What are you going to cover. 07:17.200 --> 07:22.990 It's going to be a fairly long course but hang in there and we're going to get a dud. 07:23.140 --> 07:27.890 And by the time we are done with that you're going to feel really confident going into the exam. 07:28.270 --> 07:35.020 I'll make sure that I cover everything that I can think of that could be asked during the test. 07:35.620 --> 07:42.400 The main thing is to get hands on experience so in the next lecture we get to talk about how to get 07:42.400 --> 07:47.550 hands on experience especially if you don't have access to a Linux server.
