Exam sections
DevOps Concepts and Culture
The DevOps Concepts and Culture section covers flow, feedback, learning culture, automation, continuous testing, security integration, deployment practices, metrics, and the organizational behaviors needed to improve digital delivery. For DevOps Foundation, this module connects the official framework language with practical workplace application, including roles, activities, decision points, controls, measures, and the value expected from using the guidance consistently.
Question notes
No separate public percentage weighting is included for this syllabus area in the prepared upload data. PeopleCert exams typically test recognition of official terminology plus application of the guidance to short practical situations, especially where roles, purposes, activities, interfaces, and expected outcomes matter. For DevOps Concepts and Culture, expect DevOps, DevSecOps, automation, testing, flow, and improvement scenarios, with questions that may blend this objective with neighboring exam areas instead of isolating it as a standalone topic.
Preparation tips
When preparing for DevOps Concepts and Culture, study the official syllabus and glossary first, then work through examples that require selecting the correct activity, role, management product, measure, or improvement response for a given situation. Connect practices such as CI/CD, test automation, value-stream visibility, security controls, telemetry, and blameless learning to measurable delivery outcomes. Build a clean vocabulary base first, then add simple scenario practice so the concepts are usable rather than just familiar.
Automation and Delivery Practices
The Automation and Delivery Practices section covers adaptive planning, iterative delivery, product thinking, team collaboration, feedback loops, value prioritization, servant leadership, and the ability to choose practices that fit uncertainty. For DevOps Foundation, this module connects the official framework language with practical workplace application, including roles, activities, decision points, controls, measures, and the value expected from using the guidance consistently.
