[NitinBakaya]

Hello,

I am little bit confused about the ansible certification as there is little info about the certification, i need to know the exam pattern and which ansible certification should i take.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, 

First, Red Hat exams are protected by NDA, therefore we cannot discuss exam patterns. They are all practical exams. Therefore you will need to perform tasks via ansible playbooks,  roles and so forth.

Regarding Ansible certifications, I would suggest going with this order:

1. RH294 - Explain the Ansible basics. You will get the RHCE certification if you already have the RHCSA.
2. DO374 - It is a bit more advanced, depending on your experience on Ansible
3. DO467 - It is on managing automation with Ansible Automation Platform
4. DO457 - Managing automation for network devices with Ansible 
5. DO417 - Managing automation within Windows environments

From my experience the first three are quite easy, but this is personal and it might depends on your previous experience with Ansible.

I never taken the last two classes or exams, hence I cannot say much.

Hope it helps

For a clear overview of the Ansible certification path and recommended learning progression, I suggest reviewing this official Red Hat skills path guide:
