Dear All Member,

I am quite silent member of this forum, and Now finally I have some question , I have CCNA and CCNP expired certification but my current job is totally related to *NIX environment. Now I have decided to go for good *NIX certification, So I want to go for Redhat certification but its Ban in here in Pakistan, So what is the best industry certification beside Redhat? and any path to devOps

Many Thanks

    Your best bet might be LPI certification.

    Lpic is pretty recognized and standard if I may say. Apart from that and Redhat you really don't have anything else to choose from. There are some other certs like Ubuntu, BSD, Novell or SUSE and some other but they aren't really 'worth much' marketing-wise. I guess *nix is still pretty underground as there aren't that many companies pushing certification for their products like Redhat. It's hard to do that when you have so many alternatives. Go for Lpic-3 and RHCE and you're golden if you want to be marketable.

    You could go lpic if you want the piece of paper at the end.

    Level 2 and 3 the material becomes scarce though. Urban penguin on YouTube has some videos.

    Alternatively get a few books on devops and a Linuxcbt.com subscription and start going through that material with some virtual machines set up. I'd love to do this myself but it's $100 a month which is to expensive.

    RHCE is much more valuable, and I have a pretty objective point of view

    Many Thanks Prism ... But I am unable to take RHCE in Pakistan because its ban here. Can you please tell me your experience about LPIC 1 -> LPIC 2 -> LPIC 3 and how much time it took for all three certification.
