The Evolution of Certified Professionals

Other certification holders Red Hat Certified Professional

 CONFIDENTIAL Designator

Early recorded history

 Red Hat Linux was quietly becoming a preferred operating system for the web and
other services
• Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) launched officially in 1999

Emphasis is on edge-of-network, department file/print, and rebuilding the kernel

Most interest from enthusiasts and from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)
• Red Hat Certified Technician (RHCT) launched in 2001

Subset of RHCE skills, mostly omitting network services

Since superseded by Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA)
• Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA) launches in 2005
 CONFIDENTIAL Designator

The Early Middle Ages

 The development of the subscription model and Red Hat Enterprise Linux meant the
beginning of the true enterprise adoption for mission-critical workloads
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (2010)

RHCSA replaces RHCT

The RHCSA and RHCE exams become two separate, discrete exams (EX200 and
EX300)

RHCE remains network services-focused, but incorporates other, more advanced
skills
 Individual Exams using kiosks introduced
 CONFIDENTIAL Designator

The Late Middle Ages

 Red Hat Enterprise Technologies besides Red Hat Enterprise Linux begin gaining adoption
(Enterprise Application Platform, OpenStack, OpenShift, Gluster, Ceph, Red Hat
Virtualization, etc.)

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (2014)

• Red Hat Certified Professionals reject plans to re-shape RHCE at the Red Hat Summit
• RHCE exam (EX300) becomes longer and tests an assortment of skills (and network
services)

• Red Hat begins offering developer-oriented certifications

• Red Hat Individual Exams (RHIE) using laptops for delivery are introduced
 CONFIDENTIAL Designator

Today
• Red Hat Certified Architect is now two programs

Red Hat Certified Architect in Infrastructure

Red Hat Certified Architect in Enterprise Applications

• Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) is now an automation credential, largely focusing on Ansible

Automation has become the critical skill for addressing scale, availability and performance
requirements

Ansible is the automation framework for a growing list of Red Hat technologies

Today’s RHCE is a Red Hat systems engineer, not just a Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems
engineer.
 CONFIDENTIAL Designator

Tomorrow
• Preliminary Exams (PE) aligned to first level courses that currently do not have certification
exams

RH124 Red Hat System Administration I

CL110 Red Hat OpenStack Administration I

DO180 Introduction to Docker, Kubernetes and OpenShift

• No certification will be granted, but recognition will be provided on the Red Hat Certification
verification page online

• Exams will be performance-based but offered online
