RHCSA 7/RHCE 7 certification books • Asghar Ghori‘s (04/2015) covers the RHCSA objectives quite well. Each time, he introduces the subject and covers most of the configuration details with lots of explanations. Except the lack of OpenLDAP/IPA server configuration, making difficult any client side testing, the RHCSA part is well written and pretty exhaustive. However, the RHCE part didn’t receive the same attention. Because the topics are pretty new, the quality is lower. If the introduction is still good, some chapters lack real technical material besides a basic tutorial. The IPv6, Kerberos and MariaDB coverages are minimal.
The iScsi chapter needs a rewriting. Also, there is no Kerberos KDC/IPA server side configuration. If the RHCSA exam doesn’t require expert level, the RHCE exam does, which is not possible without troubleshooting experience. If you are searching for a good book preparing for the RHCSA exam, go for it. But, if you are mainly interested in a RHCE book, there are arguably better options. • Sander van Vugt‘s (09/2015) is the first book arguably offering advanced RHCE 7 material.
Disclaimer: As I was one of the voluntary proofreaders of this book and spent more than one hundred hours on it, I’m obviously a little biased. Despite the proofreading job done, the first edition of this book displayed a lot of typos. A second edition is now available (03/2016). • Michael Jang & Alessandro Orsaria‘s (03/2016) finally released their book. The RHCSA part of the book explains pretty well all the basics with very few typos.
However, the coverage of the LDAP client configuration is very light with no LDAP server building instructions. Also, a major command to deal with disks, lsblk, is even not mentioned. The RHCE part of the book provides a good coverage of the different objectives. Postfix, Samba, iScsi, Apache and MariaDB topics are all discussed in details with a special attention for NFS and Kerberos. Globally, the book is a real success and should satisfy most of the readers.

Because perfection doesn’t exist, there is still a minor drawback: only the RHEL 7.0 version is presented; all changes appearing in minor versions after it ( nmcli syntax, NFS configuration, etc) are not discussed. That’s fine, because until now the RHCSA & RHCE exams currently use the RHEL 7.0 version. When that changes, ask for a book update (a second edition should come by the end of June 2017). • Quote from Archivis on Discord (): “The RHCE is a requirement for my job at Red Hat and I had access to all sorts of training material and I still prefer Jang’s.” Other books on RHEL 7 • Andrew Mallett‘s could almost belong to the RHCSA & RHCE 7 guides if some topics of the curriculum were not missing like the procedure to change the password at boot or some networking subjects like bonding, teaming or routing, something incredible for a book with this name.
