Modules
Variables
Facts
Plays
Playbooks
Configuration files
Run ad-hoc Ansible commands
Use both static and dynamic inventories to define groups of hosts
Utilize an existing dynamic inventory script
Create Ansible plays and playbooks
Know how to work with commonly used Ansible modules
Use variables to retrieve the results of running a commands
Use conditionals to control play execution
Configure error handling
Create playbooks to configure systems to a specified state
Selectively run specific tasks in playbooks using tags
Create and use templates to create customized configuration files
Work with Ansible variables and facts
Create and work with roles
Download roles from an Ansible Galaxy and use them

What you need to know

Preparation

Red Hat encourages all candidates for the Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Ansible Automation exam to consider taking the Cloud Automation with Ansible course (DO407). Attendance in this class is not required to take the exam.

While attending Red Hat classes can be an important part of one's preparation to take this exam, 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's products are available. Red Hat does not officially endorse any as preparation guides for its exams. Nevertheless, you may find additional reading deepens understanding and can prove helpful.

Exam Format

This exam is a performance-based evaluation of a candidate’s ability to use Ansible to automate system configuration and application deployment. Candidates will be required to develop Ansible playbooks that configure systems for specific roles and then apply those playbooks to systems to implement those roles. Candidates will also be asked to demonstrate their ability to run Ansible playbooks and configure an Ansible environment for specific behaviors. Candidates will be evaluated on whether they have met specific objective criteria.

Performance-based testing means that candidates must perform tasks similar to what they perform on the job.

This exam consists of one section lasting 3 hours.

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.
