Red Hat Certified Datacenter Specialist (RHCDS)

Overview

An RHCDS has the skills and knowledge necessary to build reliable, available, scalable, and manageable solutions in mission-critical datacenter environments using fully-supported open source technologies from Red Hat.

Current RHCEs will obtain RHCDS certification upon successfully passing all three Expertise Exams:

* EX401 Deployment, Virtualization, and Systems Management
* EX423 Directory Services and Authentication
* EX436 Clustering and Storage Management

These courses build on system administration skills covered in the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) program, which is a prerequisite.

All upper-level courses are all peer level, meaning each can be taken by someone with RHCE or equivalent skills. Any order is fine.
Eligibility
