[LINUX] Reasons to prioritize LPIC2 qualification study over AWS study

I'm using Linux on AWS.

~fin~

Preface

Being aware that you are working as a member of society is how you spend your time. I'm wondering whether to get this qualification "LPIC2" or continue learning AWS, and write down the reason why I chose LPIC. ~~ (Personal reasons are also mixed, so please take a warm look.) ~~

Top of the development platform

According to IPA's White Paper on Data 2018-2019 (link) Linux is the most popular development platform of choice. Considering that various cloud services in the world also run on linux, it is versatile and does not rot. Various software and services will be developed and linux will be used in the future.

I wanted to know the value of AWS

"You can do XX by using this service!" When it was announced

"Wow! Breakthrough! Convenient!" (Understanding the service) "Huh, what are you happy about?" (I know the service) "What's that?" (I don't know the service)

Of the above, what kind of reaction do you often do?

"What is that?" Was the most common for me. If you don't know the state so far In the first place, there was an XX function, and there was a problem of the XX function, but since the new service can be done, the problem can be overcome. I tend to understand it one by one and stop feeling satisfied there. Where does this feature guarantee? The question that the level has risen once It was difficult to think that I didn't know the state so far, After studying LPIC, I was able to understand the value of the cloud again.

If you suppress the historical transition of technology, existing technology, and what you can do with that technology, I think you can make more use of cloud services.

(Digression) The contents of LPIC2 are around networks, servers, and services. It is inevitable when using cloud services. I'm mainly in development and not in charge of infrastructure, I was able to review the settings of the web server again.

I wanted the results to be evaluated

This is a personal reason from here.

Actually, I also have the qualification of AWS SAA (← suspected title fraud)

To supplement the background, I started using AWS with no infrastructure, I studied because I thought it was bad for me. Through studying, I was able to understand the concept and types of services as a whole.

I think that there is little merit in getting a qualification when using AWS in practice. It is more efficient to learn the knowledge you need, when you need it. What is useful in practice is not the qualification, but the content studied to obtain the qualification.

However, what remains as a career is qualification. Some companies focus on qualifications. (Some companies hire people without a code test.) The sound of GAFA is good. It feels like something. (Although there are qualification frauds) Since many years of work depends on the environment in which I grew up, I can't tell without looking at the output.

I think there are some opinions that it doesn't make sense to remember because in practice only 〇〇 is used in the end. I think it makes sense to narrow down the options. Instead, you can take other options such as studying.

In the environment where I am, the qualification acquisition is highly evaluated, I learned AWS! Then the evaluation was low, that's it. (I got AWS qualification! But it was good, but for the reason in the previous chapter, I chose LPIC ...)

The deadline for renewal of qualification was approaching

I took LPIC1 5 years ago and it's about to expire ... I thought that was one of the major factors. AWS qualification is also 3 years. It is justified to shorten the expiration date because of the frequency of service updates ... Good qualification business (I praise you)

LPIC2 study details

What did you do to study for qualifications? Content for people ↓ ↓

Wai spec

--I have basic information and applied information. ――A man whose career went somewhere when he was doing planning, sales, development, and research at an SI company. ――Fifth year of working life.

Books and services used

--Linux textbook LPIC Level 2 Version 4.5 compatible | Shoeisha (so-called red bean book)

I bought the kindle version, but it's hard to see around the commands, so I remembered it with ping-t and felt like complementing what was missing.

--ping-t 3 months course

I consulted with my study time and bought an extra month for ping-t in case I fell.

Study period / study time

Two months. LPIC 201 and 202 each take about 50 hours. 1-2 hours on weekdays, 3-5 hours on holidays.

How to study

  1. Read azuki book
  2. Ping -t to make money
  3. Read the red bean book again
  4. Do the ping-t practice test or all 60 questions about 10 times
  5. ↑ Over 90% → Apply for the next day's exam

Impressions

--LPIC 202 will not be accepted unless you keep in mind the red bean book ping-t. ――We recommend that you purchase another book. ――I was barely able to pass. --I want memorized bread

Finally

I still have a lot of things I don't know about IT, so I think I have to continue studying. I've neglected to study as a member of society, so I feel like studying there too.

Thank you for reading.
