This repo brings up an Linux Foundation Certified Engineer (LFCE) Centos 7 exam simulation environment with the help of Vagrant. Several nodes are created and you perform various tasks on each during the exam. The environment has the following properties:

• Each node has all of the other nodes in its /etc/hosts file.
• The starting node is box.
  • You can ssh from box to any other node in the environment.
  • Only the box node can ssh to other nodes in the environment. After completing a task, return to the box node before connecting to another node.
• Root access can be obtain with sudo -i on any node.

You can create tasks to complete based on the LFCE domains and competencies.

If you have not already installed vagrant and VirtualBox, you can run

bash lib/prerequisites.sh

Bring up the exam environment with

bash up_exam.sh

This automatically connects you to the box node in the exam environment. Prepare the systems as you prefer using packages from standard repos, for example:

sudo -i
yum install -y pssh
pssh -H box -H node1 -H node2 "yum install -y tmux bash-completion bash-completion-extras && mandb"
exec bash

man -k ... # search for commands by name, description
man -wK ... # search for commands in man pages
yum provides */binary # search for package providing a binary
rpm -qf $(which binary) # which installed package provides a binary
yum install setroubleshoot-server; sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log # Suggest resolutions for SELinux AVCs

Destroy the exam environment with

bash destroy_exam.sh
