objectives
1
Automation coding concepts
31%- Use code to support automation: write, test, and maintain automation scripts using variables, functions, and loops to streamline IT operations.
- Apply source control techniques: version and manage code using Git commands, branching strategies, and semantic versioning.
- Explain concepts related to infrastructure as code (IaC): define and apply IaC principles such as reusability, immutability, and idempotency.
- Troubleshoot common issues with the code life cycle: identify and resolve syntax, runtime, and merge errors that occur during development and deployment.
2
System configuration
25%- Use configuration management techniques: deploy solutions and manage configuration drift using automation tools and state management.
- Compare and contrast approaches to automation: distinguish between remote vs. local, declarative vs. imperative, and push vs. pull methods.
- Interact with RESTful systems: perform create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations using REST APIs and associated tools.
- Troubleshoot common configuration issues: resolve API communication failures, certificate problems, and syntax errors in configuration files.
3
Continuous integration
24%- Explain environmental factors related to CI management: apply concepts of secrets management, artifact management, and task runners.
- Explain workflow management concepts in CI: use orchestration, dependency handling, and automated rollback techniques to manage CI pipelines.
- Analyze configurations to manage basic automation pipelines: configure hooks, triggers, and pipeline definitions using CI tools such as Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
4
Continuous delivery
20%- Implement techniques of continuous delivery: apply deployment strategies such as canary, blue-green, rolling, and in-place releases.
- Explain concepts related to application service levels: interpret SLOs, SLAs, uptime, MTTR, and feedback loops in delivery environments.
- Compare and contrast methods to secure connections to providers: configure CLI, SDK, and identity and access management (IAM) settings to protect automated delivery pipelines.
