EX280 Objectives and DO280 preparation

[m_sigismondi]

Hi to all,

after a tremendous experience with EX288 I'm preparing EX280.

I found some EX288 exam requirements very distant from DO288 course and labs and this surprised me since I passed easily and at the first attempt EX188 using DO188 course.

Now for EX288 I'm trying to take a lot of care with the objectives but I have some doubts: for example, the page https://www.redhat.com/en/services/training/ex288-red-hat-certified-openshift-application-developer-... declare in the Study points for the exam section:

• Deploy multi-container applications
  • Create and use Helm charts
  • Customizing deployments with Kustomize

Now the lab proposed by the DO280 course is only about creating different versions of the application by using different folders and git branches: should I create by myself some exercise to challenge myself with kustomize yaml syntax?

If someone successfully passed the exam can share how he/she practiced the objectives not covered by the labs?

Thank you,

Marco

Hi to all,

I was wondering if there is a preferred way to accomplish a task during the exam when that task can be executed with both web console and CLI. I expect no differences on Openshift but eventually only on the workstation machine.

Thank you,

Marco

@m_sigismondi -

No preferred way at all. Do whatever is easiest and least error-prone for you to do. The only possible issue you might have is if it specifically requests for a resource to exist somewhere as a YAML definition file. Then you must make sure to have the files and components in the specified locations with the specified names.

Just like any other Red Hat exam, it is the end state that matters and it generally doesn't matter how you get there. As long as each objective and sub-objective is met in the checklist then it doesn't matter if you've completed with the CLI, the WebUI, or a combination of the two.
