Red Hat Certified Virtualization Administrator (RHCVA) is a certification program for virtualization administrators and is performance-based, like all other Red Hat Certifications.
Virtualization provides greater IT efficiency and reduces capital & operational costs, by running multiple operating systems within a single server system. Cost and operational efficiencies make virtualization a hot favorite to data centers and other businesses, thus creating a huge demand for Virtualization Administrators.
Red Hat Certified Virtualization Administrator (RHCVA), through its hands-on skills assessments approach, ensures that system administrators (virtualization administrators) are knowledgeable and skillful enough to design, implement and manage virtual environments successfully.
One advantage to RHCVA certification is that it is focused and comprises of only one module.
RH318 – Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
RHCVA exam (EX318) & Pre requisites
The RHCVA certification can be attained by clearing a half-day exam (EX318 – Red Hat Certified Virtualization Administrator Exam), where participants are required to demonstrate their skills in the presence of a Red Hat Examiner.
Pre requisite for RHCVA :
RH133 Red Hat Linux System Administration or equivalent experience with Linux or
System administration experience on Microsoft Windows ® operating systems beneficial,
but is not necessary for this course.
RHCVA Training Course & Study Guide
Red Hat provides an official RHCVA Study Guide (Click Here for details), and recommends to attend the RH318 Red Hat Virtualization Administration training course.
For the first time in India, GRRAS now offers RHCVA Training.
Currently, there are no systems in wide use that will keep data secure as it transits a public network. Several methods are available to encrypt traffic between a few coordinated sites. Unfortunately, none of the current solutions scale particularly well. Two general approaches dominate this area: Virtual Private Networks: This is the concept of creating a private network by using TCP/IP to provide the lower levels of a second TCP/IP stack. This can be a confusing concept, and is best understood by comparing it to the way TCP/IP is normally implemented. In a nutshell, IP traffic is sent across various forms of physical networks. Each system that connects to the physical network implements a standard for sending IP messages across that link. Standards for IP transmission across various types of links exist, the most common are for Ethernet and Point to Point links (PPP and SLIP). Once an IP packet is received, it is passed up to higher layers of the TCP/IP stack as appropriate (UDP, TCP and eventually the application). When a virtual private network is implemented, the lowest levels of the TCP/IP protocol are implemented using an existing TCP/IP connection. There are a number of ways to accomplish this which tradeoff between abstraction and efficiency. The advantage this gives you in terms of secure data transfer is only a single step further away. Because a VPN gives you complete control over the physical layer, it is entirely within the network designers power to encrypt the connection at the physical (virtual) layer. By doing this, all traffic of any sort over the VPN will be encrypted, whether it be at the application layer (such as Mail or News) or at the lowest layers of the stack (IP, ICMP). The primary advantages of VPNs are: they allow private address space (you can have more machines on a network), and they allow the packet encryption/translation overhead to be done on dedicated systems, decreasing the load placed on production machines. Packet Level Encryption: Another approach is to encrypt traffic at a higher layer in the TCP/IP stack. Several methods exist for the secure authentication and encryption of telnet and rlogin sessions (Kerberos, S/Key and DESlogin) which are examples of encryption at the highest level of the stack (the application layer). The advantages to encrypting traffic at the higher layer are that the processor overhead of dealing with a VPN is eliminated, inter-operability with current applications is not affected, and it is much easier to compile a client program that supports application layer encryption than to build a VPN. It is possible to encrypt traffic at essentially any of the layers in the IP stack. Particularly promising is encryption that is done at the TCP level which provides fairly transparent encryption to most network applications.
It is important to note that both of these methods can have performance impacts on the hosts that implement the protocols, and on the networks which connect those hosts. The relatively simple act of encapsulating or converting a packet into a new form requires CPU-time and uses additional network capacity. Encryption can be a very CPU-intensive process and encrypted packets may need to be padded to uniform length to guarantee the robustness of some algorithms. Further, both methods have impacts on other areas (security related and otherwise- such as address allocation, fault tolerance and load balancing) that need to be considered before any choice is made as to which is best for a particular case
