Whats the difference between the new RHCSA and the outgoing RHCT certifications?
While the new RHCSA exam and the earlier RHCT exam have much in common, it is important to understand that these are two different exams and that the differences reflect the evolution of Red Hat technologies and the ways in which its customers use the technologies. For example, Logical Volume Management (LVM) was introduced in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and LVM skills became an RHCE exam objective at that time. Since then, use of logical volumes has become the default in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installer and LVM has become the standard, ubiquitous approach to disk management. Red Hat’s survey of certified professionals found that this is a core skill that all system administrators should have, not just senior system administrators, so LVM is an exam objective of RHCSA.
