Detailed information about this program

Overview As teams and organizations pursue digital transformation, the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) credential helps you to demonstrate skills critical to managing systems in a DevOps environment. One of the key tenets of DevOps is automation and the RHCE is an extension of the knowledge required to automate the deployment, management, and support of multi-system environments — making your credential even more valuable and relevant. By developing automation skills to complement your deployment and configuration expertise, you will show your understanding of how Ansible Automation interacts with other Red Hat technologies. Existing or future RHCEs and RHCSAs can follow multiple tracks to complete or renew their RHCE certification. View our Red Hat Certified Engineer skill path infographic to see the courses and exams needed for each track. For existing or former RHCEs If you are certified on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or were certified on an earlier version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux you can grow your automation skills in a container-based infrastructure by recertifying your credential with the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) exam (EX294). The automation skills covered by the RHCE credential are the foundation for building and operating automation across an organization and are critical to scaling a wide range of Red Hat technologies. While you are not required to recertify on the new version, the changes we have made to the RHCE credential offer unique opportunities for you to expand your knowledge. The RHCE credential also applies toward becoming a Red Hat Certified Architect in Infrastructure. You can also apply the following exam towards your RHCA credential once you’re an RHCE: - Red Hat Certified Specialist in Developing Automation with Ansible Automation Platform exam (EX374) - Red Hat Certified Specialist in Managing Automation with Ansbile Automation Platform exam (EX467)
