About this exam
A hands-on exam on three real Rocky Linux 10 machines in your browser, built on the public EX200 objectives: networking and host names, software repositories, users and sudo, permissions and ACLs, SELinux and the firewall, web services, scheduling, time, storage with partitions and LVM, NFS with autofs, tuning and shell scripts. Every task is graded on the machines when you submit. It prepares you for the Red Hat exam and is not the official Red Hat exam.
This is an INFOTICS performance exam that prepares you for the vendor exam (EX200). It is not the official vendor exam.

Integrity policy: Live online proctoring
PeopleCert-style delivery: at check-in you complete a system check, show your photo ID and a 360° room scan. Your webcam and microphone stay on, a proctor can message you, pause or end the exam, and leaving full screen, switching tabs, using a second screen, copying or pasting are violations. The attempt is submitted automatically after 6 violations.
