Prerequisites for CompTIA AutoOps+ Course
CompTIA AutoOps+ Course Outline
- Use code to support automation: Write, test, and maintain automation scripts using variables, functions, and loops to streamline IT operations.
- Apply source control techniques: Version and manage code using Git commands, branching strategies, and semantic versioning.
- Explain concepts related to Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Define and apply IaC principles such as reusability, immutability, and idempotency.
- Troubleshoot common issues with the code life cycle: Identify and resolve syntax, runtime, and merge errors that occur during development and deployment.
- Use configuration management techniques: Deploy solutions and manage configuration drift using automation tools and state management.
- Compare and contrast approaches to automation: Distinguish between remote vs. local, declarative vs. imperative, and push vs. pull methods.
- Interact with RESTful systems: Perform create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations using REST APIs and associated tools.
- Troubleshoot common configuration issues: Resolve API communication failures, certificate problems, and syntax errors in configuration files.
- Explain environmental factors related to CI management: Apply concepts of secrets management, artifact management, and task runners.
- Explain workflow management concepts in CI: Use orchestration, dependency handling, and automated rollback techniques to manage CI pipelines.
- Analyze configurations to manage basic automation pipelines: Configure hooks, triggers, and pipeline definitions using CI tools such as Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
- Implement techniques of continuous delivery: Apply deployment strategies such as canary, blue-green, rolling, and in-place releases.
- Explain concepts related to application service levels: Interpret SLOs, SLAs, uptime, MTTR, and feedback loops in delivery environments.
- Compare and contrast methods to secure connections to providers: Configure CLI, SDK, and Identity & Access Management (IAM) settings to protect automated delivery pipelines.

FAQs on CompTIA AutoOps+
This course is designed for Cloud Administrators, Systems Administrators, Linux Systems Administrators, Network Administrators, DevOps Analysts, and Automation Engineers looking to build IT automation skills.
Candidates should have 2–3 years of experience in a core IT operations role (network, cloud, or systems administration). CompTIA Network+, Linux+, Cloud+, or Server+ certifications (or equivalent knowledge) are recommended.
The course covers automation coding concepts, source control, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles, system configuration management, RESTful API interactions, CI/CD pipeline creation, and secure deployment practices.
You will learn to write and troubleshoot automation scripts, manage code with Git, implement IaC, automate system configurations, build CI/CD pipelines, and ensure secure, compliant, and efficient IT delivery processes.
No, the course takes a vendor-neutral approach, covering broad automation concepts, tools, and techniques applicable across various platforms and enterprise environments.
