⚠️ Before You Start: Read This First!

The RHCE (EX294) exam builds directly on the core system administration skills you learned in RHCSA series things like managing users, storage, firewalls, SELinux, networking, and more.

So instead of repeating the same content here, we’ve kept Chapters 2 to 16 (which cover those essentials) in the RHCSA series.

👉 If you haven’t gone through them yet, pause here and complete Chapters 2 to 16 of the RHCSA course first, as these chapters give you the foundation you’ll need to automate tasks in RHCE using Ansible.

Once you’ve covered that, come back and start the RHCE course from Chapter 16 onward, where we dive deep into Ansible, playbooks, roles, templates, and more.
