RHCA - DevOps

[jthiatt]

Hello,

I am interested in gettng the RHCA in DevOps but it seems that the curriculum keeps changing.

When I check the exam list on this page - https://www.redhat.com/en/services/certification/rhca/devops

it says that to get the RHCA in DevOps you need to be an RHCE or a RHCJD and pass 5 exams.

The page then lists 6 exams,. 2 of which have been retired.  So, how exactly do you get the RHCA in DevOps if you need 5 exams but only 4 are available?

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,

Hiatt

I think you're looking at an oudated page.  The RHCA program has not offered an additional certification in DevOps, but instead suggested a collection of exams that were DevOps themed that would stack onto your RHCE or RHCJD to get you to an RHCA.  Recently, the RHCA page was updated to indicate 'concentrations' in Infrastructure or Enterprise Applications.  But these are just collections of certifications that, based on the technology used, could appeal to different audiences.

Thanks @Scott that makes a lot more sense.

HI Scott,

same question after 2 years : is there a RHCA in DevOps offered based on the exams you have cleared ? if yes what are those exams ?

Here's the authoratative resource for the RHCA program https://www.redhat.com/en/services/certification/rhca 

I've passed all the "DevOps" exams (in quotes because there are no official DevOps exams) and I have a  regular RHCA. 

What we previously had done was grouped exams together to form a track which would appeal to Infrastructure Specialists, DevOps practioners, and Developers but that led to questions about different RHCA certifications when there was in fact always only 1 RHCA certification.
