I enjoyed jumping to topics I needed in this well written book and recommend picking it up to everyone. Maybe even follow with DO294 course after to get some automation skills as well. (Posted March 2023)

As a longtime user of RHEL, it’s always exciting to see a new version that highlights performance, security, and manageability improvements. I’ve relied heavily on RHEL for over 20 years to run critical web-based workloads that include Python, Java, NodeJS, PHP, MySQL, and Postgres applications. RHEL has never let me down. Occasionally, I’ve tried other Linux distributions that may have offered more cutting versions of core components or features at the time. Still, I’ve always gone back to using RHEL for its stability and long-term support. If you need stability, then RHEL is for you.The RHEL 9 Administration book, co-authored by four Red Hatters, is a comprehensive guide for beginners and those targeting a Red Hat Certified System Administrator certificate. The authors included guided exercises to help readers apply their knowledge to practical use cases. The book weighs in at 530 pages and covers various topics such as installation, best practices, and recommendations for configuration, tooling, and getting started with Ansible for the automation of provisioning and administration of RHEL 9.The authors are careful to call out topics not covered RHSCA exam so the readers know not to spend too much time on specific subjects if they plan to take the test. The authors target newbies who have never installed RHEL to experienced system administrators who might want to know how to install RHEL on a hyper-scaler such as AWS or Google Cloud. Overall, the authors do a great job of targeting the middle so that there is something for everyone at all technical levels.If you have an eye for the future, the authors end the book with a comprehensive overview of Podman, Buildah, and Skopeo. These are tools used for building and managing containers. According to Gartner, 75% of organizations globally will be running containerized workloads in production in 2022, up from around 30% in 2020. (Casey, 2022) Podman is an open-source Docker-compatible replacement that readers can run on Linux, macOS, and Windows.Overall, this book is of great value and an essential reference book for anyone who needs or wants to use RHEL 9.

Its's very clear, complete and easy to follow, step by step; I a would recommend it for everyone who likes to learn with the help of a book. Of course the focus is on RedHat but it's perfect to learn Linux anyway, focusing on admin tasks and taylored for the RHCS9. Thank's to the authors, this is a lot of work.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
