What the 701-100 Exam Covers
The 701-100 focuses on DevOps tooling across container technologies, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure management. You'll face questions on Docker, Kubernetes, Git, Jenkins, and monitoring solutions. Expect practical scenarios that mirror real-world deployment challenges.
Container Fundamentals You Need to Master
Docker remains central to this exam—understand image layers, Dockerfile syntax, and container networking. Practice building multi-stage builds and securing containers in production. In exam conditions, you'll need solid hands-on experience, not just theoretical knowledge.
Kubernetes and Orchestration Skills
Master Kubernetes deployments, services, ConfigMaps, and persistent volumes before test day. The exam tests your ability to troubleshoot pod issues and manage cluster resources. Focus on YAML manifest writing and understanding how orchestration solves scaling problems.
