30 Days of RHCSA is a challenge-first practice route built from two RHCSA practice exams. It organizes 30 independent administration tickets into six five-day stages, progressing from shell and file work through software, services, users, SELinux, networking, storage, and final system-repair scenarios.
Each day presents a required end state rather than a walkthrough. You inspect a prepared RHEL 10 system, choose the commands and configuration changes, and use automated checks to verify the result. The collection contains 2 Beginner, 24 Intermediate, and 4 Advanced challenges.
What You Will Learn
- Repair file trees, permissions, archives, and configuration workspaces and produce audit evidence
- Write reusable shell scripts to inspect users and summarize application logs
- Configure DNF and Flatpak sources and diagnose systemd services, journals, boot targets, and timers
- Manage users, groups, password aging, limited sudo access, SSH keys, and shared-directory permissions
- Diagnose SELinux file and port labels while keeping enforcement enabled and configuring required service access
- Create and repair persistent XFS, ext4, and VFAT mounts and on-demand NFS access
- Extend LVM storage, grow mounted file systems, and create persistent prioritized swap
- Restore time synchronization, secure file transfer, firewalld rules, hostname resolution, and NetworkManager connectivity
Who This Course Is For
This course is for RHCSA candidates and Linux administrators who already know common command-line workflows and want sustained, verification-driven practice. It is designed to test diagnosis and implementation choices, so it suits learners who have studied the underlying topics and now need realistic administration tickets rather than introductory tutorials.
Prerequisites: You should be comfortable navigating Linux, editing configuration files, using shell commands and sudo, and inspecting services, users, permissions, and storage. Prior study of core RHCSA administration topics is strongly recommended.
Learning environment: Every challenge runs in a terminal-based RHEL 10 instance with a staged starting state, local request files or resources, and the privileges needed for the task. All 30 challenges provide automated verification, targeted hints, and a reference solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the official RHCSA exam or a complete substitute for it?
No. It is a LabEx practice path curated from two RHCSA practice exams, not the live Red Hat exam. Completing it does not award the RHCSA credential or guarantee exam readiness.
How much guidance do the challenges provide?
You receive a scenario, explicit requirements, expected state, and focused hints, but not a step-by-step command sequence. Automated checks show whether the target state is correct, and every challenge has a reference solution for review after your attempt.
What does “30 Days” mean?
The curriculum contains 30 day-labeled challenges arranged into six stages of five. Each challenge is an independent administration ticket; the label describes the learning route rather than combining the work into one continuous system.
Does the course cover every possible RHCSA objective?
No. It provides broad practice across essential tools, running systems, access control, SELinux, networking, and storage, but it is a curated set. For example, it does not include container management, bootloader repair, or root-password recovery challenges.
