“Good” as in something that looks just as good as an RH cert on my CV. I was considering LFCS, but I haven’t come across any job listings mention LFCS (at least, not where I live).
My company is moving to Rocky Linux.
Employers aren’t going to change from Red Hat certs any time soon. Businesses are unlikely to move away from Red Hat over the recent changes.
LFCS should be on par with RHCSA. CKA is also a good certificate which should get you a good return.
From my point the RHCSA is still a valid exam despite RedHats recent moves. HR Drones and Managers won’t care what RedHat is doing as long as they are supporting their products.
What happened with redhat?
The whole sudden shutting down of source code repos thereby putting the future of Rocky/Alma at risk, leading to a follow-on effect of sysadmins migrating away from Rocky/Alma and swearing off RH/RH-derived stuff in general.
This is the straw that broke the camel’s back. Red Hat has gotten greedier and greedier since IBM bought it. 99.99% of my work is new RHEL installs, and we are looking at Ubuntu & SLES lately.
In my last organisation, Oracle Linux had come up. Have you looked that up?
You’re considering changing distros due to legal restrictions, and one of the options you’re considering is Oracle?
Some, yes. I think it still being Red Hat adjacent has us talking about the other two more. Should be interesting to see how it plays out. I doubt much will change and we’ll have to keep having difficult conversations with customers about RH license costs.
Well, that’s how I left my org too 😂
It this type of thinking that will drive up the value of the RH certifications. The community oriented people will go do something else and there will be less people certified on a stack that is used by large enterprises.
Look at Cisco and the CCNA. Cisco isn’t a nice and friendly FOSS company they are greedy AF, people still get the CCNA because its valuable to large enterprises that don’t care about nice and friendly FOSS companies.
Everyone hates Red Hat?
I must be way behind. What happen with RH? I just migrated a bunch of servers to Alma , albeit not in prod but still.
Redhat made it against their terms to rebadge rhel as another distro and locked their source behind a paywall basically, theres more to it but thats the jist
Does anyone know if this affects Fedora based spin offs? For example Nobara.
Shouldnt for now
I still love red hat, my favorite distro. I agree with their stance on Alma/rocky but I am less in agreement about their methods.
