There will be beta-exams for the new LPIC-OT at FrOSCon in August. Looking at the objectives for this new exam it contains a lot of what I have done recently.

#^DevOps Tools Engineer

DevOps is one of the most in-demand skills in open source today.  In order to meet this need with verified skills LPI, an established authority in Linux Administration, is developing the DevOps Tools Engineer certification.  These additional certified competencies strengthen the portfolio of today’s IT professionals.

As more and more companies introduce DevOps methodologies to their workflows; skills in using tools which support the collaboration model of DevOps become increasingly important. LPIC-OT DevOps Tools Engineers will be able to efficiently implement a workflow and to optimize their daily administration and development tasks.

This certification will be released in autumn 2017 and will test proficiency in the most relevant free and open source tools used to implement the DevOps collaboration model, like for example configuration automation or container virtualization.

The new certification is created according to LPI‘s community-based certification development process. This process relies heavily on involvement by the IT community.
