Red Hat Certified Engineer Course, Red Hat Linux + Ansible

About Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE)

The Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) course is a professional-level program tailored for Linux system administrators who want to advance their automation skills using Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ansible. Building on the RHCSA foundation, this course equips learners with real-world capabilities in system automation, security hardening, performance tuning, and container management, making them enterprise-ready DevOps professionals.

An RHCE is not just a Linux expert — they are automation architects who can configure, manage, and scale infrastructure efficiently using Ansible playbooks, roles, variables, and automation content collections.

Here are some of the responsibilities and skills covered in the RHCE course:

Automate Infrastructure Tasks Using Ansible: RHCEs design and implement automation workflows using Ansible playbooks, managing system configurations, services, and deployments at scale across multiple nodes.
Manage and Secure Enterprise Linux Systems: They configure SELinux policies, firewall rules, and access controls to secure Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments in line with enterprise IT security standards.
Deploy and Maintain Containers: RHCE professionals are responsible for running lightweight, isolated applications using Linux containers, ensuring portability, scalability, and consistency across environments.
Optimize System Performance: They perform system tuning and resource scheduling using tools like tuned, nice, and ionice to ensure high availability and performance of mission-critical applications.
Administer Storage and Logical Volumes (LVM): RHCEs create, extend, and manage LVM-based storage, enabling flexible and scalable disk space management, especially in dynamic enterprise infrastructures.
Implement Scheduled Tasks and System Automation: Using tools like cron, at, and Ansible’s automation capabilities, RHCEs ensure that routine jobs and maintenance tasks are executed efficiently and on time.
Troubleshoot, Monitor, and Maintain Logs: They analyze system behavior by interpreting log files, using utilities like journalctl, and maintain system health by identifying and resolving faults proactively.

o become a Red Hat Certified Engineer, candidates must first complete the RHCSA certification and then pass the RHCE exam. This performance-based exam evaluates your ability to manage and automate Linux systems in real-world scenarios — no multiple-choice questions, only hands-on problem solving.

RHCE is a globally respected credential that validates your readiness for roles in DevOps, cloud, and enterprise infrastructure management.
