RHCDS Training
RED HAT CERTIFIED DATACENTER SPECIALIST
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
EX436 Clustering and Storage Management
EX423 Directory Services and Authentication
OR
Ex318 Enterprise Virtualization
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.

Certified Datacenter Specialist (RHCDS), while anyone can attend
the courses in this track.
- Current RHCEs will obtain RHCDS certification upon
