Course Overview
The RH359 Red Hat Services Management and Automation with Exam is a comprehensive training program offered by Red Hat designed for IT professionals seeking to master the deployment and automation of critical network services using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and Ansible Automation Platform 2.4. This course prepares learners for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Services Management and Automation exam (EX358), a credential increasingly sought after by enterprises leveraging Red Hat’s enterprise-grade infrastructure solutions. Targeted at Linux administrators, DevOps engineers, and automation specialists, this course builds on existing RHCSA-level skills and working knowledge of Ansible (such as from RH294). With over 90% of Fortune 500 companies relying on Red Hat technologies, expertise in automating core services directly aligns with high-demand operational needs across cloud, data center, and hybrid environments.
Participants engage in extensive hands-on labs where they configure and automate real-world services including Apache HTTP Server, Nginx, MariaDB, NFS, SMB, DNS using BIND9 and Unbound, DHCP/DHCPv6, Postfix for email transmission, CUPS for printing, and iSCSI for block storage access. Using the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 lab environment, students first manually deploy these services and then create Ansible playbooks to automate their configuration, ensuring consistency and scalability. A key project involves building an automated infrastructure that provisions a secure web server with TLS encryption, integrates it with a backend MariaDB database, and ensures client access via DNS and DHCP—all managed through reusable Ansible roles. These practical exercises simulate enterprise scenarios where automation reduces deployment time from hours to minutes while minimizing human error.
By completing the RH359 Red Hat Services Management and Automation with Exam, candidates earn the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Services Management and Automation certification, a vendor-specific credential recognized globally for validating advanced system administration and automation skills. Certified professionals report average salary increases of 15–20%, with senior automation engineers earning upwards of $120,000 annually in North America. Koenig Solutions enhances this path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Red Hat courseware, and optional 1-on-1 training, ensuring learners gain direct access to expert instructors and structured exam readiness. Graduates are positioned to lead infrastructure automation initiatives, driving efficiency and reliability in modern IT operations.
