Dear all, This thread is supposed to capture the discussion of the objectives draft for exam 201-500. The current draft for the new version is available in the LPI wiki:
https://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/LPIC-2_Objectives_V5.0#Objectives:_Exam_201 Please note that this document will be edited as the discussion goes. Please use the history and diff features of the wiki to keep track of changes. The major change proposals can be summarized like this: - Topic 200, capacity planning, is merged into the new objective 055.3, Resource Management, and now focuses on resource management using systemd features, with less weight that the topic used to have before - Topic 201, Linux Kernel, and topic 202, System Startup have been merged and aspects of custom kernels have been removed. We focus on kernel updates, modules and DKMS, as well as systemd management. No other init systems are covered beyond awareness level - Topic 203 (old)/202 (new), File systems, has been reduced to remove overlap with LPIC-1 and add systemd specific aspects - Topic 204 (old)/203 (new), Advanced storage management, has received more weight to go into more details of mdraid and LVM. There is also a new objective on ZFS. - Topic 205 (old)/204 (new), Advanced Networking Configuration, has been structured to make the distinction of runtime (iproute2) and persistent (NetworkManager and systemd-networkd) configuration as well as troubleshooting. net-utils are gone. - Topic 206 (old)/205 (new) was updated and extended to include resource management, along with some aspects of the former topic 200. Topic 206 (new) covers configuration management using Ansible. This topic is very similar to the Ansible topic of the DevOps Tools Engineer, which will no longer cover Ansible in the future. Ansible seems to have the largest adoption nowadays, along with the most convenient learning curve of the major tools in this field. This topic mostly fills weights that became vacant due to the reduction of the resource management and kernel compilation objectives. There are, of course, numerous smaller changes, fixes and improvements. Looking forward to your thoughts, Fabian -- Fabian Thorns <[email protected]> GPG: F1426B12 Director of Product Development, Linux Professional Institute
