BEFORE YOU START
Your questions, answered.
Can I tailor this assessment to my DevOps Engineer vacancy?
Yes. Start with Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, Jenkins, Bash, Amazon Web Services, then keep the tests that match your responsibilities. For example, use Docker to explore images & containers. You can add or remove tests before inviting candidates.
Does this assess practical DevOps Engineer work?
Candidates answer multiple-choice questions in Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, Jenkins, Bash, Amazon Web Services online. They do not complete your day-to-day work inside your own systems. Add a short work sample based on reviewing a deployment plan and its recovery checks to explore application alongside the test results.
Why is Docker included?
Checks knowledge of containers, images and how they are built and run. Explore the relationship between images, containers, configuration and persistent data. Review whether this area reflects the responsibilities of your vacancy before retaining it.
How long does this DevOps Engineer assessment take?
The recommended selection contains 6 tests and allows 60 minutes across its timed tests. Adding or removing tests, or adjusting time allowances, can change the total.
Will I see a separate result for each test?
Yes. Review Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, Jenkins, Bash, Amazon Web Services separately so a strength in one area does not hide a gap in another. Use the detail to focus interviews and relevant work samples. View the sample report.
