The Linux Professional Institute (LPI), which recently announced version 2.0 of the DevOps Tools Engineer Certification, is offering new learning materials along with a series of articles to help you prepare for the certification exam.

The new certification covers the methodologies and open source tools needed for implementing modern DevOps, with general topics including:

• Software Engineering
• Application Container
• Kubernetes
• Security and Observability

The free, downloadable learning materials are structured around these same topics to provide in-depth lessons on required concepts. Lessons include an overview of each topic, guided exercises, explorational exercises, and answers.

For example, within the Security and Observability section, you’ll find lessons on:

• Cloud-native security
• Prometheus monitoring
• Log management and analysis
• Tracing concepts

“The new DevOps Tools Engineer exam covers the most important methodologies and tools along the entire lifecycle of modern software applications,” says Fabian Thorns, Director of Product Development at LPI.

The exam consists of 60 questions that must be answered in 90 minutes and is available in English, with a Japanese language version planned for 2026.
