rhcsa8-lab

Practice lab for Red Hat's RHCSA 8 certification exam using Vagrant.

This lab takes advantage of the Red Hat Developer Subscription for Individuals, which lets you register up to 16 systems with Red Hat - and receive access to packages and updates via their Yum repositories - at no cost.

---

The Vagrantfile in this repository will create two servers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 - using the generic/rhel8 Vagrant box - with the following base configuration:

• 1GB RAM
• 1 CPU
• 70GB root disk (dynamically allocated)

Each server will have some extras configured to facilitate practicing the different exam objectives:

• server1

  • 1 additional network interface (for network related objectives)

• server2

  • 3 additional dynamically allocated disks (for storage related objectives)

Usage

After running vagrant up you will be prompted for your Red Hat account credentials, and a provisioner will register each machine with Red Hat Subscription Manager. The machines will be unregistered by a Vagrant trigger upon destruction.

To start the machines and login:

1. vagrant init
2. vagrant up
3. Enter Red Hat account credentials
4. vagrant ssh <server1|server2>

To destroy the machines:

1. vagrant destroy
