EX374 practice examsIn development
Red Hat Certified Specialist in Ansible Automation Platform
Automation at organisation scale rather than from a laptop: the controller deciding what runs while execution environments do the work reproducibly, projects fetching from source control, dynamic inventories and variable precedence, and credentials injected at run time so a user can run automation without holding the passwords; then job templates with surveys, workflows making failure paths explicit, defining the controller itself as code, and instance groups, capacity, audit evidence and a backup that includes the secret key.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| Platform architecture, content and execution | Not published |
| Templates, workflows, automation as code and operations | Not published |
Two sample questions
1. What does an approval node in a workflow do?
- Pauses until a person allows it to continue — correct
- Checks that the playbook syntax is valid
- Verifies the credentials before the next job
- Records who launched the workflow originally
Why: A change gate before the production step is the usual use.
2. Why keep content in source control?
- Version control — correct
- Faster surveys
- Bigger meshes
- More credentials
Why: Source control gives versioned, reviewable playbooks and roles.
