PeopleCert DevOps-Foundation Exam Dumps

A DevOps professional needs:

Business skills: Understanding the business context and value.

Technical skills: Automation, coding, cloud, infrastructure.

Core (soft) skills: Collaboration, communication, empathy, learning.

Self-management: Time, priorities, feedback.

Other options miss the full blend or focus too much on tech or process.

Extract-style reference:

''DevOps success requires a blend of business, technical, and core (soft) skills, as well as the ability to self-manage and continuously learn.''

PeopleCert DevOps Foundation v3.6: Holistic skillsets are emphasized for cross-functional teams.

Automation brings multiple key benefits in DevOps:

Higher quality: Automated tests and deployments catch errors earlier, reduce human error, and ensure consistency.

Faster recovery: Automated monitoring and remediation help restore services quickly after incidents.

Other options either decrease quality, increase errors, or make releases less predictable---contradicting DevOps goals.

Extract-style reference: ''Automation reduces errors, increases quality, accelerates lead time, and shortens recovery by ensuring repeatable, reliable processes.'' --- DevOps Handbook PeopleCert DevOps Foundation v3.6: Automation is a pillar of DevOps, referenced throughout the syllabus as a key driver for speed and reliability.

Let's clarify what these terms mean in DevOps:

Continuous Integration (CI): Developers integrate code into a shared repository frequently (ideally daily), with each integration automatically verified by tests.

Continuous Delivery (CD): Ensures software is always in a releasable state. Every change can be deployed to production, but the deployment itself may be a manual decision.

Continuous Deployment: Every change that passes automated tests is automatically deployed to production, without manual intervention.

Why is D (''Continuous Deployment requires a manual push button'') NOT TRUE? Because Continuous Deployment is about no manual intervention---once code passes all tests, it's automatically pushed live. Manual deployment is a feature of Continuous Delivery, not Continuous Deployment.

Extract-style reference: ''Continuous Deployment means that every change goes through the pipeline and is automatically put into production, resulting in many production deployments every day.'' --- Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps, Jez Humble & Nicole Forsgren DevOps Foundation v3.6 distinguishes between Continuous Delivery (manual trigger) and Continuous Deployment (fully automated).

When work is delayed due to resource availability or local optimizations causing global degradation, the issue relates to The First Way---maximizing flow from left to right. Organizations should analyze and remove bottlenecks in the delivery pipeline (e.g., in testing).

Extract-style reference: ''Optimizing the flow of work requires eliminating bottlenecks, delays, and handoffs that slow the movement of changes from development to operations.'' --- The Phoenix Project DevOps Foundation courseware discusses value stream mapping and the First Way as critical tools for diagnosing and correcting such issues.

When independent Dev and Ops teams adopt DevOps practices without coordination, results are limited.

The most important action IT management can take is to create a shared vision, goals, and incentives.

Shared goals align everyone to business outcomes, reduce conflicting priorities, and foster real collaboration.

Why not the others?

Intelligent risk taking (A) and high-trust culture (C) are important, but without a shared vision, teams won't move in the same direction.

Customer focus (D) is essential, but won't create cross-team alignment by itself.

Reference/Extract: ''Creating a shared vision and goals across Dev and Ops is critical to breaking down silos and delivering end-to-end value to the business.'' --- The Phoenix Project, Accelerate, and PeopleCert DevOps Foundation v3.6 Section 3.3
