The Observability Skills You Will GainMetrics, Logs and Traces in Practice

This programme builds the practical capability behind the OBSF credential. Structured across the DevOps Institute's six modules, it takes you from observability fundamentals to OpenTelemetry, SLOs and incident response, so you can keep distributed systems reliable at work.

Apply the Three Pillars of Observability

Work confidently with metrics, logs and distributed traces to understand system behaviour, correlate signals and pinpoint the root cause of failures in modern systems.

Instrument Systems with OpenTelemetry

Use OpenTelemetry SDKs, collectors and semantic conventions to collect vendor-neutral telemetry across microservices, so you are never locked into a single tool or platform.

Design Metrics and Alerting Strategies

Apply the RED and USE methods and the Four Golden Signals, and move from alert-on-symptom to burn-rate alerting that cuts noise and reduces on-call fatigue.

Define SLIs, SLOs, SLAs and Error Budgets

Set user-focused service-level indicators and objectives, and use error budgets to balance reliability with delivery velocity in a measurable, defensible way.

Build Telemetry Pipelines and Manage Cost

Aggregate, transform, route and sample high-cardinality telemetry using head-based and tail-based strategies to control observability spend without losing insight.

Lead Incident Response and Retrospectives

Run effective on-call rotations, runbooks and blameless postmortems that turn incidents into continuous-learning loops and stronger, more resilient services.

The OBSF exam is an open-book, single-answer multiple-choice paper of 40 questions with a duration of 60 minutes. It is delivered online, proctored through PeopleCert OnVUE, or at an authorised test centre.

How many questions are on the OBSF exam and what is the pass mark?

The exam has 40 questions and you have 60 minutes to complete it. The passing score is 65%, which means answering at least 26 of the 40 questions correctly.

How is the Observability Foundation exam delivered?

The exam is delivered online through PeopleCert OnVUE remote proctoring, so you can sit it from home or the office, or at an authorised test centre. The DevOps Institute partners with PeopleCert for exam delivery.

What if I do not pass the OBSF exam first time?

Our training focuses on first-attempt readiness with mock exams and practice questions. If you need to re-sit, verify the current re-sit policy with the DevOps Institute; our trainers help you target weak areas before you try again.

Which standard is the OBSF exam based on?

The exam is based on the DevOps Institute Observability Foundation Exam Blueprint (Body of Knowledge). It covers observability principles, the three pillars, OpenTelemetry, SLIs, SLOs and SLAs, alerting strategy, incident response and the role of observability in SRE.

Course Content

What topics does the Observability Foundation course cover?

The course spans the DevOps Institute's six modules: observability principles and the three pillars; metrics, logs and distributed tracing; SLIs, SLOs, SLAs and error budgets; OpenTelemetry and telemetry pipelines; alerting and incident response; and SRE, AIOps and exam prep.

No prior experience is required, as there are no formal prerequisites. Some familiarity with DevOps or IT operations helps, and the training builds from fundamentals, so newcomers to observability can follow along comfortably.

What are the three pillars of observability?

The three pillars are metrics, quantitative measurements of system behaviour over time; logs, timestamped records of discrete events; and traces, end-to-end records of requests across distributed systems. Together they explain how a system is behaving and why.

What is OpenTelemetry and why does it matter?

OpenTelemetry (OTel) is the CNCF project providing a standardised, vendor-neutral framework for collecting metrics, logs and traces. It is the de facto standard for instrumentation, so the skills you learn transfer across any observability backend.

Are practice tests and mock exams included?

Yes. The programme includes OBSF practice questions, mock exams and case studies aligned to the 40-question, open-book format. These help you identify weak areas and build confidence before exam day.
