Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA)

Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA) develops practical capability in advanced Red Hat architecture capability across enterprise Linux, automation, OpenShift, cloud, application platforms, security, integration, specialization planning, and portfolio-based solution leadership.

Learners progress through RHCA Pathway, Architecture Principles, Enterprise Linux, and Core Infrastructure; Automation, Ansible Automation Platform, Security, Reliability, and Operations; OpenShift, Cloud, Virtualization, Storage, Application Platforms, and Integration; Specialization Portfolio, Architecture Case Study, Evidence, Leadership, and Roadmap. Each stage connects Red Hat technology with implementation decisions, operational controls, troubleshooting, and reviewable evidence.

The learning journey follows a senior engineer assembling a coherent Red Hat architecture pathway and demonstrating cross-domain solution leadership and produces a practical RHCA capability portfolio, specialization roadmap, architecture case study, and continuing development plan for implementation and operational use.

What You Will Learn

• Validate RHCA pathway design and specialization selection against security, reliability, governance, and acceptance criteria.
• Compare enterprise Linux architecture and infrastructure foundations alternatives and explain operational and technical trade-offs.
• Document automation architecture with Ansible Automation Platform using repeatable commands, evidence, ownership, and handover notes.
• Improve security, reliability, governance, and operational controls through monitoring, exception handling, automation, and review cycles.
• Map OpenShift, cloud, virtualization, and storage choices across architecture, roles, dependencies, controls, and evidence.
• Configure application-platform and integration architecture trade-offs with reproducible settings and validated prerequisites.
• Execute evidence-based architecture case study and portfolio development and interpret outputs, events, logs, and system behavior.
• Diagnose technical leadership and continuing capability roadmap through targeted checks, traces, and corrective testing.
