Recommended preparation
Practice all EX200 objectives on a RHEL or compatible VM: storage and LVM, SELinux, firewalld, users, containers with podman, and systemd. Repetition is key — rehearse tasks until you can complete them from memory without internet access.
Follow the free SysOps 90-Day Learning Path — its final phase (days 76–90) is built for certification preparation.
