Frequently Asked Questions
Why has DASA introduced a major update of DASA DevOps Fundamentals?
DASA has introduced an update to address the market needs. Everyone was looking for a lightweight course having an awesome flow (course structure) that can be easily understood. Keeping this feedback in mind and doing a thorough analysis, DASA’s editorial team came up with this new version.
How is DASA DevOps Fundamentals 2.0.0 Syllabus different from the previous version 1.0.4?
The primary impact is on the course structure or content flow. The previous version was structured around how DevOps redefines the IT aspects: Processes, Organization, Culture, and Automation. The 2.0.0 version is structured more like a journey for a DevOps professional: Setting the DevOps Context; DevOps for Individuals; DevOps for Teams and Organizations; and the next steps.
Other than the structure, some of the concepts are added (such as DevOps at Scale), updated (such as ITIL), and removed (such as the Three Horizons Model).
Is the certification exam associated with DASA DevOps Fundamentals 2.0.0 different from the previous version 1.0.4?
The 2.0.0 version of DASA DevOps Fundamentals is associated with a different exam. DASA’s editorial team is in the process of updating the exams as well. The major update of exams will be available soon in the market.
Is the exam expected to take place at the end of the program or it can be taken later?
DASA does not recommend to attempt the exam at the end of the program/training. Learners need some time to go through the concepts to prepare for the certification exams. DASA recommends attempting the exams within 10 days (the best retention time) after the completion of the program.
How long will the version 1.0.4 of the syllabus be available in the market?
We recognize that DASA Training Partners schedule classes in advance. Keeping this in mind, DASA will continue to offer 1.0.4 by the end of Q2 2020.
