QUESTION 1
Which of the following MOST accurately describes DevOps?
A. A team
B. A methodology
C. A standard
D. A cultural and professional movement
Answer: D
Explanation:
DevOps is not simply a team, methodology, or standard. The PeopleCert DevOps
Foundation v3.6
materials define DevOps as a oecultural and professional movement that stresses
communication,
collaboration, integration, and automation to improve workflow between software
developers and IT
operations professionals. The cultural transformation is fundamental,
emphasizing shared
responsibilities, breaking down silos, and fostering continuous improvement.
Reference: DevOps Foundation v3.6 syllabus section 1.1; State of DevOps Report;
"The Phoenix Project".
QUESTION 2
Why is it important for IT to understand and support the business' "why"?
A. IT must understand why the organization exists and its purpose, cause and
belief
B. IT must understand why they should develop or acquire certain software
products
C. IT must understand why the organization will benefit from a DevOps approach
D. IT must understand specific business processes so that they can support the
organization properly
Answer: A
Explanation:
One of the core DevOps values is aligning IT efforts with business
objectives”understanding the
business oewhy. The Foundation syllabus highlights the need for IT to understand
the organization's
purpose, cause, and belief. Without this, IT cant effectively support value
delivery or drive digital
transformation. Understanding the organizational oewhy connects daily activities
to strategic
objectives, a key DevOps mindset.
Reference: DevOps Foundation v3.6 syllabus section 1.2; "Start with Why" by
Simon Sinek.
QUESTION 3
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of DevOps?
A. Ensuring overall organizational success
B. Working towards a common goal
C. Fast flow of unplanned work into production
D. World-class stability, reliability, availability and security
Answer: C
Explanation:
A fast flow of unplanned work into production is not a characteristic of DevOps.
In fact, DevOps
practices strive to minimize unplanned work (like emergency changes or outages)
through
automation, testing, collaboration, and rigorous change control. The other
options”ensuring
organizational success, working toward a common goal, and world-class stability/reliability”are
all
key DevOps characteristics.
Reference: DevOps Foundation v3.6 syllabus section 1.4; State of DevOps Report.
QUESTION 4
According to the State of DevOps Reports, LOW performing organizations have:
A. More frequent code deployments
B. Faster lead times from commit to deploy
C. Faster mean times to recovery
D. Higher change failure rates
Answer: D
Explanation:
The State of DevOps Reports show that LOW performing organizations have higher
change failure
rates, meaning a larger percentage of changes lead to incidents, outages, or
degraded service. In
contrast, high performers have more frequent deployments, faster lead times, and
quicker recovery from incidents.
Reference: DevOps Foundation v3.6 syllabus section 2.2; Accelerate: The Science
of Lean Software and DevOps.
QUESTION 5
A healthcare organization's software developers have been practicing agile
development techniques
and have been able to make new features available at the end of every two-week
sprint cycle. But
the set-up of the production processes and infrastructure means that they have
to deploy to live every quarter.
Why would DevOps be a solution to their problems?
A. IT Operations have been left behind
B. DevOps is focused on software development
C. It will break the cadence between development and IT operations
D. DevOps is the same as agile
Answer: A
Explanation:
When developers practice agile but operations is slow to deploy, it means IT
Operations have not
kept pace”classic oeleft behind scenario. DevOps aims to align development and
operations,
breaking down barriers and enabling faster, safer, and more frequent
deployments. DevOps is not
only about development (B is incorrect), does not break cadence but instead
aligns it (C is incorrect),
and is not the same as agile but complements it (D is incorrect).
Reference: DevOps Foundation v3.6 syllabus section 1.5; The Phoenix Project;
Accelerate.
QUESTION 6
Which of The Three Ways increases the flow of work from left to right?
A. The First Way
B. The Second Way
C. The Third Way
D. All of the above
Answer: A
Explanation:
The oeThree Ways are foundational principles in DevOps:
The First Way focuses on increasing the flow of work from left (development) to
right (operations).
It is about optimizing the entire system for fast delivery, limiting
bottlenecks, and enabling a rapid flow of features and fixes to customers.
The Second Way is about amplifying feedback loops so corrections can be made
early.
The Third Way emphasizes continual learning and experimentation.
Extract-style reference:
oeThe First Way emphasizes the performance of the entire system, as opposed to
the performance of
a specific silo of work or department. The goal is to maximize the flow of work
(value) from
Development to Operations to the customer.
