Observability Foundation - accredited training with exam
training code: ZP-OBSF-DOIen / ENG DL 2d / EN
Microservices and cloud-native architectures have been goals of many organizations to help increase speed and agility, but as complexity grows, systems become increasingly challenging to build observability best practices.
Observability Foundation introduces a range of best practices for building full-stack observability towards advancing resilience in a distributed ecosystem. These best practices include building meaningful traces across temporal topologies, the impact of DevSecOps and AIOps on observability, and a 360-degree view of building mature observability practices.
THE AIM OF A TRAINING PROJECT:
- This course introduces a range of practices for advancing resilience and how to architect end-to-end Observability for Cloud-Native applications. The advantages of building full-stack metrics, events, logs, and distributed tracing are introduced, along with the impact of DevSecOps on Observability and how AIOPs enhance Observability capabilities. This course also covers how Network and Security Observability plays a key role in building reliability, the key aspects of security operations and automated responses are covered,
- The course aims to equip participants with the practices, methods, and tools to engage people across the organization involved in Observability by using real-life scenarios and case stories. Upon completion of the course, participants will have tangible takeaways to leverage situations such as
- implementing MELT models effectively, that fit their organizational context, building distributed tracing and resiliency by design.
- The course is developed by leveraging key experts in the fields of telemetry, sources of knowledge and engaging with thought-leaders in the Observability space, and working with organizations who have crossed the chasm of modern Observability to extract real-life best practices.
- This course positions learners to successfully complete the Observability Foundation certification exam.
The target audience for the Observability Foundation course are professionals including:
- Anyone focused on large-scale service scalability and reliability
- Anyone interested in modern IT leadership and organizational change approaches
- Business Managers
- Business Stakeholders
- Change Agents
- Consultants
- DevOps Practitioners
- IT Directors

Benefits for Individuals
- Understanding of practical implementation of Observability, traces, spans, and their correct interpretations
- Designing Observability in services for higher security and reliability
- Building fault-tolerant distributed ecosystems that can be tested for risks of disaster
- Building AIOps intelligence in operations using the Observability pipeline
- Understanding of other roles and contributing towards creating a better workplace culture
Benefits for Organizations
- Implementing Observability effectively leads to higher business value, enhanced stability and reliability of services
- Improvement in product development, deployment, and operations life-cycle
- Increased balance between technical investment in reliability and customer experience
- Homogenous culture and greater synchronization between product, development, and operational teams improving staff morale
The participants receive vouchers, which are valid for 6 months, for online exam.
Having completed the training, the participant receives an e-mail with guidelines how to register on the exam. The date is determined directly with PeopleCert, with the use of participant’s account.
Online exam is conducted in the presence of proctor – a person from PeopleCert, who connects remotely with training participant’s desktop and observes the course of exam via Internet camera.
The person who takes the exam is obliged to show the place where he is going to write the exam to proctor via Internet camera. Proctor checks if there are not any other persons and study aids in the room.
Observability Foundation exam:
- exam duration 60 minutes
