This course prepares you for the CompTIA AutoOps+ (AT0-001) exam, a certification built for IT professionals who automate infrastructure, builds, and deployments. You'll work through all four exam domains: automation coding, system configuration, continuous integration, and continuous delivery, with virtual labs to help you get hands-on experience. You’ll build real pipelines by writing Dockerfiles, managing Git branches, storing secrets in vaults, and running blue-green deployments. The course includes training on PowerShell, Python, Linux tooling, and cloud configuration, giving you a broad, practical skill set that applies directly to DevOps, Platform, and SRE roles.

CompTIA AutoOps+ training FAQs

What is the CompTIA AutoOps+ certification?

CompTIA AutoOps+ (exam code AT0-001) is a vendor-neutral certification that validates skills in infrastructure automation, CI/CD pipelines, configuration management, and secure software delivery. It sits at the intersection of traditional ops work and DevOps workflows, covering tools and concepts like IaC, Git, REST APIs, containerization, and deployment strategies. It's one of the few certifications that directly addresses the gap between pure sysadmin work and full DevOps engineering.

How much does the CompTIA AutoOps+ exam cost?

CompTIA exam pricing varies by region and can change over time. The most accurate current pricing is available directly on the CompTIA website at comptia.org. You can also check whether your employer offers exam vouchers or whether a training provider bundles a voucher with the course.

What experience do I need before attempting the AT0-001 exam?

CompTIA recommends 2 to 3 years of hands-on experience in a core IT infrastructure role — think systems, network, or cloud administration, not help desk. Holding Linux+, Cloud+, Server+, or Network+ puts you in a strong position. If you're already writing scripts, managing servers, and working with cloud environments day-to-day, you have the right foundation. This is not a beginner-level certification.

What jobs can I get with the CompTIA AutoOps+ certification?

AutoOps+ is aimed at roles like systems engineer, cloud engineer, network engineer, DevOps engineer, platform engineer, and SRE — specifically for people moving from pure infrastructure work into automated, pipeline-driven environments. The skills it covers (CI/CD, IaC, config management, secure delivery) are directly applicable to any team running modern infrastructure. It's a strong differentiator if you're trying to move from a traditional ops role into a DevOps or platform engineering position.

What makes the AutoOps+ exam different from other DevOps certifications?

Most DevOps certifications are tool-specific or heavily developer-focused. AutoOps+ is explicitly built around the ops side — sysadmin-style automation using PowerShell, Python, Linux CLI tools, and cloud platforms — rather than assuming a software development background. It's also notably lab-heavy, with performance-based questions alongside multiple choice, meaning you'll need to actually do the work, not just recognize terminology. If you want a cert that reflects the real automation work that ops engineers do, this is a closer match than most.

Who is CompTIA AutoOps+ training for?

This course is designed for systems, cloud, and network administrators with 2–3 years of hands-on infrastructure experience who are moving into automated, pipeline-driven workflows. Candidates with Linux+, Cloud+, Network+, or Server+ are well-positioned to attempt this exam.

What our learners say

When learning a new technology, people sometimes build a wall that complicates the learning process because of the unknown. I like tearing down that wall — and having people fall in love with that technology.
