Apache Kafka is a distributed streaming platform. With it's rich API (Application Programming Interface) set, we can connect mostly anything to Kafka as source of data, and on the other end, we can set up a large number of consumers that will receive the steam of records for processing. Kafka is highly scaleable, and stores the streams of data in a reliable and fault-tolerant way. From the connectivity perspective, Kafka can serve as a bridge between many heterogeneous systems, which in turn can rely on it's capabilities to transfer and persist the data provided.
In this tutorial we will install Apache Kafka on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, create the systemd unit files for ease of management, and test the functionality with the shipped command line tools.
- How to install Apache Kafka
- How to create systemd services for Kafka and Zookeeper
- How to test Kafka with command line clients

As part of the RHCSA exam preparation, we already learned how to manage partitions on disk. Partitions are useful to separate disk space (for example, separating database-related files from webserver-related files), but we have a much more flexible solution that can separate or aggregate storage space.
This solution is called LVM, the Logical Volume Manager. LVM allows us to see multiple disks as one filesystem, thus overcoming the limitations of a physical disk's site. We can also create software mirroring on disks to protect or data written to the filesystem. In this tutorial we'll cover the basics: we'll manage the three layers of LVM, physical volumes, volume groups and logical volumes.
- How to create and remove physical volumes
- How to assign physical volumes to volume groups
- How to create and delete logical volumes

While in the desktop world we rarely change our hard drive - and that mostly indicated by hardware failure - in the server world it isn't uncommon for the underlying storage environment to change over time.
In a SAN (Storage Area Network) environment, for High Availability, a server can reach it's storage trough many paths, in reality distributed and mirrored to multiple disks in the storage network. If some paths change, the server needs to identify the "disk" again. That's why it is recommended to use special identifiers set on the device, and mount by these identifiers, not by device name which may change. In this part of RHCSA exam preparation tutorial, we'll add a new disk to our test machine, and configure mounting by UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier) and by label.
- How to get UUID of a given device
- How to get and set label of a device
- How to mount device by UUID
- How to mount device by label

ERROR: Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel. Please make sure you have installed the kernel
source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have
the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may
specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option.
In this tutorial you will learn:
- How to install kernel-headers
- How to install kernel-devel
- How to check kernel version
- How to check for installed kernel-devel version

Disk partitions are the basis of storing our data on disks. To be able to handle partitions, in this part of RHCSA exam preparation tutorial we will add an empty disk to our test RHEL 8 system, and create, list, and delete a new partition on it. First we will use the classic MBR (Master Boot Record) setup, then we'll do the same on GPT (GUID Partitioning Table) setup. GPT is a more advanced partitioning technique that allows large partitions, whereas MBR is limited to 2 TB disk space per partition. So if that doesn't seem like a very limiting size at the moment, think of the trend of disk usage, which may be not that much from the end user perspective, but certainly it is from the Linux system administration job perspective.
In this tutorial you will learn:- How to create a new MBR partition using fdisk
- How to list classic partitions using fdisk
- How to delete partition using fdisk
- How to create GPT partition using gdisk
- How to list GPT partitions
- How to delete GPT partitions
