- 32m
- 32 questions
The Core DevOps Competency (Intermediate Level) benchmark assesses your recognition of core DevOps principles and components, DevOps and Agile requirements, and using Docker, Kubernetes, and Chef for DevOps. You will be evaluated on your skills in recognizing high-level elements of Docker and Kubernetes and their workflows in DevOps, key Chef features, configuring a cloud-hosted Chef server, and creating Linux recipes and cookbooks on a Chef Workstation. Learners who score high on this benchmark demonstrate that they have a solid understanding of intermediate-level DevOps concepts and tools.
