EX380ExamOpenShift 1 day

The performance-based Red Hat Certified Advanced System Administrator in OpenShift exam (EX380) tests the knowledge, skills, and ability to plan, implement, and manage large-scale OpenShift Container Platform deployments in the enterprise.

Earning a passing score on this exam is a requirement to attain the Red Hat Certified Advanced System Administrator in OpenShift certification.

Exam Delivery

This is a hands-on, practical exam. Rather than answering multiple-choice questions, you are required to perform routine system tasks on a live system to meet specific objective criteria.

The tasks are based on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.22. Relevant product documentation is provided during the test, but you must complete the tasks without outside assistance.

Exam results are reported via email from Red Hat Certification Central. Red Hat does not authorize examiners or training partners to report results to candidates directly. Scores on the exam are usually reported within 3 U.S. business days.

Exam results are reported as total scores. Red Hat does not report performance on individual items, nor will it provide additional information upon request.

Multiple versions of this exam are in use. Please navigate directly to the Learning Management System (LMS) to view and complete your designated exam version at Red Hat Certification Exam Objectives by Version.

Prerequisites

›Candidates for this exam should have:

›Reviewed the Red Hat Certified Advanced System Administrator exam (EX380) objectives

Who should attend

›These audiences may be interested in becoming a Red Hat Certified Advanced System Administrator in OpenShift:
›Cluster engineers (systems administrators, cloud administrators, or cloud engineers) focused on planning, designing, and implementing production-grade OpenShift clusters. Cluster engineers require automation skills to scale their manpower to provision and manage an increasing population of clusters, applications, and users, at the same time ensuring these clusters remain in compliance with corporate standards.
›Site reliability engineers (SREs) focused on keeping OpenShift clusters and applications running without disruption. SREs are interested in troubleshooting infrastructure and application issues with OpenShift clusters and require automation skills to reduce the time to identify, diagnose, and remediate issues.
›Performance Rule
›As with all Red Hat performance-based exams, configurations and services must persist and remain functional across the normal lifecycle of the platform without requiring manual intervention to restore or start them.
