At the OpenStack Summit, the OpenStack Foundation announced the general availability of its Certified OpenStack Administrator (COA) exam.

This test is meant to validate skills for cloud administrators of OpenStack, an open-source infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud. Why does it matter? OpenStack might be powerful, but also very difficult to deploy and manage.

To make sure that COA graduates have the right stuff, the COA is performance-based exam. It can be taken virtually, and anywhere in the world through the OpenStack Foundation and its training marketplace.

To pass the exam, a Certified OpenStack Administrator should have at least six months of OpenStack experience and has the skills required for day-to-day operations and management of an OpenStack cloud. To pick up the skills needed to get that kind of experience, there are dozens of training companies offering the course needed to gain therequired skills and capabilities of a Certified OpenStack Administrator.

Red Hat delivers this training through its Red Hat Learning Subscription. Red Hat offers a full-stack Linux, OpenStack, and container set of classes. Unlike some of the many other companies offering training Red Hat's training is not vendor-neutral. Instead its courses focuses on real world Red Hat OpenStack Platform deployments and management.
