What is Reddit's opinion of RHCSA Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 Certification Study Guide, Eighth Edition (Exam EX200) (RHCSA/RHCE Red Hat Enterprise Linux Certification Study Guide)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I am trying to study for the RHCSA and have a few digital books already that serve to facilitate that goal. I have been looking into getting one in physical form so I won't be tied to a screen. Having had no experience with any of the ones listed on amazon except the one by Miguel Colino, I was just wondering if it would be worth it to wait for the one by Yang that comes out in September or just fire away on the Ashgar Ghori one from late 2020 and fill in whatever gaps are present from updates to the material over almost two years? Are previous editions of this book even good?

I would recommend books and A Cloud Guru - https://www.amazon.com/RHCSA-Enterprise-Linux-Certification-Study/dp/1260462072/ref=sr_1_8?crid=2JC13ZVVOB2OA&keywords=rhcsa&qid=1644359653&sprefix=rhcsa%2Caps%2C464&sr=8-8

If you need even more options I would recommend INE (for system hardening), ITProTV and CBTNuggets (for other things around Linux) - https://my.ine.com/ITEssentials/courses/1f81f353/linux-security-server-hardening - https://www.itpro.tv/courses/linux/red-hat-enterprise-linux-8-2020/ - https://www.cbtnuggets.com/all-courses

Just a note: CentOS 8 is no longer supported, if you were looking at running the latest and greatest as CentOS 7 upgrade to CentOS 8 would pop red flags on an audit due to CentOS 8 being EOL.

You can continue using CentOS 7 until June 30, 2024, though most orgs are slowly moving everything over to RHEL 8, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux or other RHEL derivatives if they were running RHEL based systems.

You will more than likely have less issues just moving to RHEL 8 for STIGS where some of the others may have a few things off due to the renames done for the alternate operating system in some files which may show up as unrecognized.

For the some orgs they are using Debian, Ubuntu or other derivative and hardening it using the STIGS as guidance along with the CIS.
