The Red Hat Certified Specialist in Linux Diagnostics and Troubleshooting exam tests learners on their ability to discover, analyze, and fix common issues one may expect as a Red Hat Specialist, systems administrator, or DevOps engineer working with Linux. We’ll learn how to handle issues related to system boot, package management, system files, network connectivity, application degradation, and authentication issues, as well as how to gather forensic information and handle any server issues we may encounter with a positive, curious mindset — and not abject terror.
This course will be Red Hat focused and assumes a general knowledge of administrating Linux systems. Learners should be comfortable with the concepts of Linux file systems, package management, system startup, and networking. The course will include refresher lessons for boot procedures and networking, but it will focus only on troubleshooting in-depth.
**This course is not approved or sponsored by Red Hat.**

With a background at a cloud hosting company, I started learning Linux and DevOps from the bottom up as a technical writer set out to document configuration management systems. Falling in love with Linux, DevOps and tech as a whole, I eventually took my ability to explain technical concepts to wide audiences to the training area, creating courses on Red Hat, SaltStack, HashiCorp, LXD, Docker, and more.
