Independent, vendor-neutral open source certifications

Home/ Blog/ Exam updates

Welcome to the OSPI blog

OSPI certifications measure operational skill in a real environment under time pressure. Tasks mirror day-two work. They are not multiple-choice trivia.

We publish guidance for candidates and hiring managers: how to prepare for live labs, what our exams assess, and how teams use vendor-neutral credentials alongside foundation training and vendor certifications.

What you will find here

We write for engineers who already work in production: SREs, platform teams, and developers who own deployments. Bookmark the blog index and browse the certification catalog for exams open today.
