This project offers environment for all the labs in Red Hat RHCSA/RHCE 7 Cert Guide: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 book written by Sander van Vugt.
- server1: CentOS box (Server With GUI).
- server2: same as Server1
- cache-server: Debian box used for package caching.
- labipa: CentOS box with FreeIPA configured.
- Virtualbox: cross-platform virtualization application.
- Vagrant: tool for building complete development environments. With an easy-to-use workflow and focus on automation
Don't worry you don't have to be expert on any of these tools.
