virtualjackI'm officially in the certification trap!
I'll be taking the ITILv3 in early March.
The RHCSA on the ides of March and the RHCE towards the end of March.
The ITILv3 is a great framework. It is useful for my consulting practice and will be useful if I go to an organization that uses the concept of best practices in their IT work. It is a nice little tag to add to the resume.
The RHCSA/RHCE are slam dunks. I do need to study in order to fill in some gaps, but I did well on the assessment test so there should be no surprises.
So the weirdness to the exams is location. The ITILv3 is in New York City, so I have a place to crash. The RHCSA/RHCE exams are only offered on Friday's which makes travel a pain. Based on my location, I'll be driving to Toronto for one and driving to Boston for the other.
