“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).
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.
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.
Would a sysadmin really be looking to move away from a Red Hat certification track just because RH behaved like a for-profit corporation? I think it’s naive to assume this will have much of an impact on the reputation and desirability of an RH cert in the business world.
But, I suppose if you just want to avoid giving RH your testing money, then the Linux Foundation certs would be fine.
But what are the ramifications of doing away with the “free” version of RHEL in the form of centos/alma/rocky?
Personally, I never ran anything with CentOS, and haven’t touched RedHat since version 6, but I am very very comfortable spinning something up in Ubuntu or Debian at work because that’s what I’ve run on home and personal projects for the past 15 years. Although at work we are a windows shop, and few things are running Linux.
When the community doesn’t have as much experience and hands-on time with RHEL spin-offs, are the sysadmins that would make the call on what OS to use going to choose one they have little to no experience on? Or is red hat so ingrained into corporate type networks that nobody will blink at the choice and just do it?
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?
My company is moving to Rocky Linux.
