RHCDS Overview 

  

alt

An RHCDS has the skills and knowledge necessary to build reliable, available, scalable, and manageable solutions in mission-critical datacenter environments using fully-supported open source technologies from Red Hat.

Current RHCEs will obtain RHCDS certification upon successfully passing all three Expertise Exams:

  • EX401 Deployment, Virtualization, and Systems Management 
  • EX423 Directory Services and Authentication 
  • EX436 Clustering and Storage Management

These courses build on system administration skills covered in the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) program, which is a prerequisite.
All upper-level courses are all peer level, meaning each can be taken by someone with RHCE or equivalent skills. Any order is fine.

RHCDS Curriculum and Expertise Exams
  • Only current RHCEs are eligible to be certified as a Red Hat Certified Datacenter Specialist (RHCDS), while anyone can attend the courses in this track.
  • Current RHCEs will obtain RHCDS certification upon successfully passing all three Expertise Exams.
  • The courses are not required as the tests can be taken separately but they are strongly recommended.
