Short update

ForgeOne has added another verified SUSE credential to its Enterprise Linux practice: Mathias Rumbold has been awarded the SUSE Certified Administrator in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16 certification.

The credential is issued to Mathias Rumbold personally. For ForgeOne, it strengthens the practical foundation for projects around SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16, Linux operations, migration, platform standardization and day-to-day administration.

Why this matters for customers

SLES 16 is relevant wherever Linux platforms need to be operated in a structured, maintainable and supportable way. Certification does not replace project experience, but it documents that core administration topics have been validated against the current SUSE certification path.

  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16 administration
  • Remote administration with SSH and Cockpit
  • Users, groups and file system permissions
  • Storage, networking and system services
  • Security basics including SELinux
  • System log analysis and operational fundamentals

What ForgeOne uses this for

ForgeOne supports organizations with Enterprise Linux architecture, installation, migration, lifecycle management, automation and operations. The certification fits directly into current work around SLES 16, SUSE Multi-Linux Manager, mixed Linux environments and open source infrastructure.

For customers, the important part is not the badge alone, but the combination of certified knowledge, real lab work, documented implementation paths and operational experience.

Verification

The public digital credential is available through the SUSE badge portal. SUSE describes the certification on the SCA SLES 16 exam page. The certification date is 26 September 2026.
