Frequently Asked Questions

The EX294 is the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) exam for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, which tests your ability to automate Linux system administration tasks using Ansible. The exam validates skills in writing Ansible playbooks, managing configurations, and deploying applications across multiple systems.

While there are no strict prerequisites, Red Hat recommends that candidates first obtain the Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) certification, as the RHCE builds upon foundational Linux system administration knowledge. Candidates should have solid experience with RHEL 8 and Ansible before attempting this exam.

The EX294 exam is 3.5 hours long and consists of practical, hands-on scenarios rather than multiple-choice questions. A passing score is typically 210.5 out of 300 points, though Red Hat may adjust this score based on exam difficulty.

The exam covers Ansible fundamentals, playbook creation, role-based automation, variables and templating, managing secrets, system configuration, and deploying applications. It also tests hands-on skills in writing and executing playbooks to accomplish real-world automation tasks on RHEL 8 systems.

The EX294 is entirely performance-based, meaning you work in a live environment to complete practical tasks using Ansible rather than answering multiple-choice questions. Candidates must successfully execute playbooks and automation tasks within the allotted time to earn their certification.
