Course - Red Hat System Administration III (RHEL9) – RH294+EX294
I really enjoyed this course and whilst I consider myself to be more intermediate level rather than beginner I took a lot away from it with regards to Roles, Jinja2 and Encryption. Kumbulani was friendly and patient, and was keen to ensure no one was left behind before moving on to the next task.

The most I enjoyed is the best instructor who knew everything with Ansible plus everything else in other related topics. He was always patient to answer to everyone's question in detail and even encouraged everyone to ask, even if too obvious or too stupid.
