Just finding out whether Kodekloud DevOps Labs help in terms of getting DevOps experience or getting probably DevOps jobs or gigs.

So before I start I will give some background:
Im 27 yo, I have 8 years of corporate experience, 5 years of IT exp. I have eng degree in Networking. Currently I work in a large bank as a Ops/DevOps - I take care of Opensfhit envs, deployments, pipelines etc. I can’t code tho. Only simple bash things.
I have 3 certs: CKA (kubernetes), ACE (GCP) and CAPA (ArgoCD). Before getting into IT I’ve spend a lot of time gaining background knowledge - during my studies and also reading books about networking (Kurose & Ross and CCNA cert guide).

My company paid me for RHCSA voucher. It was my co-worker idea. She said she want to gain some understanding of underlying system and she want to pass it and maybe I want to join. I was like yeah whatever. So she requested the vouchers for us 2.

Thing is - I can’t find a drop of motivation within me to pass this exam. I have tried Sanders course on OReilly and immidiately my brain was in sleep mode after listening to 5 mins to the course. I find this so boring and odd. I feel like the commands are being portrayed as something so advanced and so important to remember while most of the time all you need is cd, ls, grep, cat/tail and vim. Everything else can be found in google or, currently, by asking AI. I feel like the industry has evolved so much that nobody actually memorizes all of this. I’ve also tried Sanders cert guide (I prefer books more) and it’s better but again I have a impression that Im learning something just for the sake of passing the exam and I will never see it/use it again.

CKA was fun and interesting for me, I liked it because it’s something commonly and widely used.
Learning Red Hat feels like preparing to become a sad Unix Team member that sit in a basement and add users to /etc/passwd.
I also can’t see many job offers that require or value RHCSA. I just can’t see a reason to put any effort there. The voucher expires by the end of November so I have some time to finish the guide and try it out.

What do you think? What are your experiences? Is it still a valuable cert & skill or it’s a way for Red Hat to take even more money from everyone selling the ,,Red Hat Admin” title?

have they stopped this version of exam>??

Hello everyone,

I'm preparing for the RHCSA exam and I have a quick question for those who took it recently:

Does the Tab key (command-line autocompletion) function normally in the exam environment? I use it heavily for completing paths and commands, and I want to make sure it's available before I rely on it.

Any feedback from recent test-takers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!"

Hi, can anyone pls suggest the super best resource to prep for RHCSA (RHEL-10) EX-200 exam on Udemy ? I know Sander Van Vugt course is the best, however it is out of budget for me and so looking for similar prep course on Udemy…
