Exam

What is the format of the Observability Foundation exam?

The OBSF exam has 40 single-answer, multiple-choice questions to be completed in 60 minutes. It is an open-book exam based on the Observability Foundation Exam Blueprint and Body of Knowledge published by the DevOps Institute.

What is the passing score for the OBSF exam?

The passing score is 65 per cent, which means answering at least 26 of the 40 questions correctly. Focus on broad understanding across the three pillars, SLIs and SLOs, OpenTelemetry and alerting.

How is the exam delivered?

The exam is delivered online through PeopleCert OnVUE proctoring or at an authorised test centre, so you can sit it from home, the office or a centre. Our team can guide you through registration.
