Note: I'm reusing the links from my RHEL 6 post, so if something doesn't quite work let me know and I'll update the post with a new RHEL 7 post. I do intend to go through them but it might take me a while.
I'll attempt to link newer post to the relevant objective, where appropriate. Almost always, it won't be appropriate and in that case I have made an attempt to link to a page with the relevant information for the objective.
Feel free to suggest a better or alternatively link to ones I have provided.
RHCSA Exam Objectives
Red Hat reserves the right to add, modify and remove objectives. Such changes will be made public in advance through revisions to this document.
RHCSA exam candidates should be able to accomplish the tasks below without assistance. These have been grouped into several categories.
Understand and Use Essential Tools
* Access a shell prompt and issue commands with correct syntax
* Use input-output redirection (>, >>, |, 2>, etc.)
* Use grep and regular expressions to analyze text

* Configure key-based authentication for SSH
* Set enforcing and permissive modes for SELinux
* List and identify SELinux file and process context
* Restore default file contexts
* Use boolean settings to modify system SELinux settings
* Diagnose and address routine SELinux policy violations
RHCE Exam Objectives
Red Hat reserves the right to add, modify and remove objectives. Such changes will be made public in advance through revisions to this document.
RHCE exam candidates should be able to accomplish the following without assistance. These have been grouped into several categories.
System Configuration and Management
* Use network teaming or bonding to configure aggregated network links between two Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.
* Configure IPv6 addresses and perform basic IPv6 troubleshooting
* Route IP traffic and create static routes
* Use FirewallD, including Rich Rules, Zones and custom rules, to implement packet filtering and configure network address translation (NAT).
* Use /proc/sys and sysctl to modify and set kernel run-time parameters
* Configure system to authenticate using Kerberos
* Configure a system as an iSCSI initiator that persistently mounts an iSCSI target
* Produce and deliver reports on system utilization (processor, memory, disk, and network)
* Use shell scripting to automate system maintenance tasks
* Configure a system to log to a remote system
* Configure a system to accept logging from a remote system
Network Services
Network services are an important subset of the exam objectives. RHCE candidates should be capable of meeting the following objectives for each of the network services listed below:
* Install the packages needed to provide the service
* Configure SELinux to support the service
* Use SELinux port labelling to allow services to use non-standard ports.
* Configure the service to start when the system is booted
* Configure the service for basic operation
* Configure host-based and user-based security for the service
RHCE candidates should also be capable of meeting the following objectives associated with specific services:
HTTP/HTTPS
* Configure a virtual host
* Configure private directories
* Deploy a basic CGI application
* Configure group-managed content
* Configure TLS security
DNS
* Configure a caching-only name server
