Does Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.0 support Cephadm?

Hi,

Does Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.0 support Cephadm? According to https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2045583 Cephadm Ansible Package was only introduced in Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.2. I want to confirm.

While the latest Cloud Storage with Red Hat Ceph Storage (CL260) course is heavily focued on Cephadm, the Ceph Cloud Storage (EX260) exam seems to only be available on versions 4.2 and 5.0 - seemingly a very unfortunate misalignment.
