Learn how to configure and manage essential services integrated with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, then use Ansible automation to perform the same work at scale.
Red Hat Services Management and Automation (RH358) is designed for IT professionals who already have experience administering Linux systems and want to expand their skills in deploying, configuring, and managing essential network services provided with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Participants first learn how to manually install, configure, and manage the basic configurations of services commonly used in enterprise environments. The course then demonstrates how these same operations can be automated with Ansible, transforming manual administration tasks into scalable, standardized, and repeatable automation processes.
The course covers DNS, DHCP, email transmission, printing, network file sharing, SQL databases, and web services. It also addresses advanced networking configurations for server environments.
This course is based on Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4.
Benefits for Organizations
RH358 helps IT teams develop the skills required to manage and automate common infrastructure services that support business-critical applications.
By standardizing and automating manual configuration activities with Ansible, organizations can:
- Reduce service deployment times.
- Automate repetitive configuration tasks.
- Improve infrastructure service reliability.
- Support compliance with defined architectural standards.
- Reduce the time IT teams spend on routine operations and allocate more resources to improvements and innovation.
