EX318 Red Hat Certified Virtualization Administrator (RHCVA)

The EX318 Red Hat Certified Virtualization Administrator (RHCVA) exam continues the Red Hat tradition of benchmarking the skills of IT professionals through hands-on skills assessments. Individuals who earn the RHCVA credential have demonstrated the skills and knowledge to create, deploy, and manage Linux and Microsoft Windows virtual machines hosted on either Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers or dedicated hypervisor nodes using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. An RHCVA credential assures enterprises that their virtualization solutions are administered optimally and establishes credibility for service providers.

• System administrators whose jobs include managing virtual environments

Prerequisites

• Experience using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager and Hypervisor
