Exam Format
This hands-on, practical exam requires you to use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) playbooks to perform real-world tasks. You will be provided with multiple systems and will be required to configure AAP and then use it to perform standard system administration tasks similar to what you would do on the job.
You will be required to create playbooks and use those playbooks to configure systems for specific roles and behaviors. Your work will be evaluated by applying the playbooks created during the exam against freshly installed systems and verifying that those systems and services work as specified.
During the exam, you will be provided a list of tasks to accomplish related to the exam objectives. In most cases, the tasks will be described in terms of a specific end state that you must achieve. Your exam will be evaluated on whether your systems meet the criteria specified.
Internet access is not provided during the exam, and you will not be permitted to bring any hard copy or electronic documentation into the exam. This prohibition includes notes, books, or any other materials. For most exams, the documentation that ships with the product is available during the exam.
