What you need to know
Preparation
Red Hat
encourages you to consider taking Red Hat OpenShift Administration II: Operating
a Production Kubernetes Cluster (DO280) and Red Hat OpenShift Administration III:
Scaling Kubernetes Deployments in the Enterprise (DO380) help prepare for this
exam. Attendance in these classes is not required; students can choose to take
just the exam.
While
attending Red Hat classes can be an important part of your preparation,
attending class does not guarantee success on the exam. Previous experience,
practice, and native aptitude are also important determinants of
success.
Many
books and other resources on system administration for Red Hat products are
available. Red Hat does not endorse any of these materials as preparation guides
for exams. Nevertheless, you may find additional reading helpful to deepen your
understanding.
Exam
format
This
exam consists of a single section lasting four hours. The exam is a performance
based evaluation of candidates' abilities to implement and manage tasks related
to large-scale OpenShift Container Platform deployments in the enterprise.
Candidates perform a number of routine tasks associated with automation and
integration similar to those they would be expected to perform in a large-scale
OpenShift Container Platform environment and are evaluated on whether those
tasks meet specific objective criteria.
Scores
and reporting
Official
scores for exams come exclusively 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.
