Continuous delivery, infrastructure as code, observability and site reliability engineering exams.
DevOps exams assess the delivery pipeline end to end: source control strategy, build and release automation, configuration management, progressive deployment and the feedback loops that catch regressions before users do.
Site reliability topics — error budgets, service level objectives, incident response and toil reduction — now appear on most professional-tier cloud exams as well as on dedicated DevOps credentials.
