Practice environment: official Red Hat labs
No local Fedora lab: practice on RHEL environments provided by Red Hat Online Learning and the LMS portal.
Goal
Make it clear where I practice: only on environments supplied by Red Hat courses, not on self-hosted VMs or a separate home lab.
Courses I use
| Course | Role in my path | Where I practice |
|---|---|---|
| RH124 — Red Hat System Administration I (v10.0) | Completed foundation (users, permissions, storage, bash, scripts) | Course ROL / LMS labs and machines |
| RH134 — Red Hat System Administration II (v10.0) | In progress (LVM, firewall, SELinux, boot, containers, etc.) | Same Red Hat-provided environments per chapter |
Usual access:
- LMS portal — sessions and labs with an active account.
- ROL catalog — chapter material and labs.
How I work each session
- Open the chapter or lab on ROL (e.g.
rh134-10.0/pages/...). - Use the machine or environment assigned by the course (RHEL, not a home VM).
- Capture commands and notes in the following modules on this blog.
- If a lab expires or the course window renews, I continue from Red Hat without reinstalling anything locally.
What I do not do
- I do not document a “Fedora lab” with two homemade VMs here — that is not my current workflow.
- I do not mark an exercise as done in this blog until I have actually run it in Red Hat’s lab.
Outcome
Practice aligned with official RHEL labs, consistent with RHCSA EX200 prep and the rest of this blog.
