The OpenStack management part was fun.
EX280 Exam Experience
I took an individual exam that was based on CloudForms 4.
In short, EX220 is a 2-hour exam, but that’s plenty of time to solve all questions. It isn’t a difficult exam because the majority of things are configured using a web UI. It also doesn’t go that deep into utilising the tool to its full potential (e.g. Ansible integration and OpenSCAP are not part of the exam objectives).
I believe there was a problem with my lab environment during the exam, hence the low score, but I’m happy I passed.
The exam score 247/300.
Exam Preparation
I’ve used ~20 lab hours on RHLS, including the CL220 course.
Congratulations Tomas! Not a bad score either.
Passed mine today. I found the 2 hours sufficient to complete tasks.
Understanding how the technology works and hands-on lab time are essential preparation.
Well done, congratulations!
Congratulations Tomas, well done!
Thank you Karol.
Hi Tomas.
Did you have to pay additional costs for 6th and 7th exam after you spent 5 primary attempts or were all your 7 exams used from one rhls?
Thanks
Hi Karol, I did not have to pay anything extra, it was included in my RHLS.
I believe that Red Hat have recently enforced the rules where you can only take 5 exams and 2 retakes.
Congrats! What material did you use to prepare?
RHLS.
Hi Tomas.
I can’t believe I only stumbled upon this amazing blog on GitHub in 2026. Major respect to the author! I’m currently studying for my Red Hat certification, and RHEL 10 is just around the corner now.
Hi Wenwei, better late than never I suppose :) Thanks for stopping by and your kinds words, good luck with your studies!
