CompTIA AutoOps+ (AT0-001) Practice Tests

CompTIA weights the AutoOps+ AT0-001 exam across four domains: Automation Coding Concepts at 31%, System Configuration at 25%, Continuous Integration at 24%, and Continuous Delivery at 20%. Automation Coding Concepts is the largest domain and covers scripting fundamentals in Bash, PowerShell, and Python, plus automation logic, data structures, error handling, version control workflows, and general automation best practices, the coding foundation the other three domains build on. System Configuration tests applying that code to configure and maintain systems at scale, including infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, and Bicep, configuration management practices, environment consistency, API integration, and secrets handling. Continuous Integration covers how CI pipelines get built and managed: source control integration, automated testing, build validation, and pipeline optimization across tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitLab. Continuous Delivery, the smallest domain at 20%, focuses on release pipeline management and deployment strategies such as canary and blue-green releases, plus secure delivery practices. This practice bank of 447 questions is built to mirror that split, so the coding and system-configuration material that makes up more than half the real exam gets proportional depth, while CI and CD still get enough coverage that a weak domain can't quietly sink your score.

On test day AutoOps+ gives you a maximum of 60 questions, a mix of multiple-choice and performance-based items, to complete in 60 minutes, a tight 60 seconds per question if the exam runs the full length. CompTIA has not published exactly how many of the 60 are scored versus experimental, which is typical for its exams, so treat every question as if it counts. The passing score is 600 on a scale of 100-900, and CompTIA doesn't publish per-domain minimums, so an uneven performance across the four domains can still average out to a pass, but performance-based items tend to cluster in Automation Coding Concepts and System Configuration, where you're asked to read or write actual script and configuration snippets rather than just recognize terminology. The exam launched on June 2, 2026 after a beta window that ran through January 30, 2026, making AT0-001 CompTIA's first standalone, vendor-neutral credential built specifically around automation, scripting, and CI/CD as their own discipline rather than a slice of a broader infrastructure exam. You can test at a Pearson VUE testing center or through OnVUE online proctoring from home or your office, and results are available immediately after you submit.

AutoOps+ is built as an expansion certification, not a replacement for foundational credentials. CompTIA recommends 2 to 3 years of experience in a core IT operations role such as network, cloud, or systems administration, along with Network+, Linux+, Cloud+, or Server+ (or equivalent experience), though none of those are hard prerequisites. It targets systems administrators moving toward DevOps, cloud operations specialists, automation engineers, and anyone already writing pipeline code, maintaining Ansible roles, or running Jenkins and GitHub Actions workflows who wants a recognized credential for that work. CompTIA has not published an official standalone voucher price on its certification page as of this writing; a third-party reseller lists the international voucher around $298, in the range of CompTIA's other specialty exams like Cloud+ and Server+, but confirm the current rate directly with CompTIA or an authorized reseller before you register. Because AutoOps+ only opened for general testing in June 2026, community discussion and past-exam accounts are still thin compared to established CompTIA certs, so treat any dump or leaked-question site with real skepticism. Start with the 30 free questions in this bank, then work through the full 447-question set until your accuracy holds steady across all four domains, weighted toward Automation Coding Concepts and System Configuration.

CompTIA AutoOps+ (AT0-001) is a vendor-neutral certification that launched for general testing on June 2, 2026, after a beta exam window that ran through January 30, 2026. CompTIA positions it as an 'expansion certification' rather than a full job-role credential like A+, Network+, or Server+: it is shorter, more focused, and built specifically to validate automation, scripting, infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD skills as their own standalone discipline, applicable across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, VMware, and on-premises environments rather than tied to one platform.

The exam is organized into four domains: Automation Coding Concepts (31%), System Configuration (25%), Continuous Integration (24%), and Continuous Delivery (20%). Together these cover the practical lifecycle of modern IT automation, from writing and version-controlling scripts in Bash, PowerShell, or Python, through configuring systems at scale with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform, to building and running CI pipelines in tools such as Jenkins or GitHub Actions, and finally managing secure, automated release and deployment workflows.

AutoOps+ targets IT professionals already working in infrastructure roles who want a recognized credential for automation work they're doing informally: systems administrators, cloud administrators and engineers, network operations specialists, infrastructure engineers, DevOps engineers, and security operations analysts. CompTIA's own guidance frames it around people who write pipeline code, build Ansible roles, or maintain Jenkins or GitHub Actions workflows as part of their day job.

It's a strong fit for sysadmins actively trying to move into DevOps-adjacent roles, since it puts a named, vendor-neutral credential on skills (scripting, IaC, CI/CD) that broader certifications like Network+ or Server+ only mention in passing. It is not designed as a first IT certification; CompTIA expects candidates to already have hands-on operations experience before attempting it.

There is no formal, enforced prerequisite for AutoOps+. CompTIA instead publishes a recommended experience profile: 2 to 3 years working in a core IT operations role such as a network administrator, cloud administrator, or systems administrator. CompTIA also recommends (but does not require) that candidates hold, or have equivalent knowledge to, Network+, Linux+, Cloud+, or Server+ before attempting AT0-001.

In practice this means AutoOps+ assumes working familiarity with general infrastructure concepts, command-line environments, and at least one operating system family, so the exam content itself can focus on automation logic, scripting, IaC, and CI/CD rather than re-teaching networking or systems fundamentals. Candidates coming from a pure development background without operations exposure, or complete beginners with no scripting experience, are likely to find the exam harder than its 60-question length suggests.

AT0-001 consists of a maximum of 60 questions, delivered as a mix of multiple-choice and performance-based items, to be completed in 60 minutes. The passing score is 600 on a scale of 100 to 900; CompTIA does not publish a separate scored-versus-experimental question breakdown or per-domain minimum score for this exam, which is consistent with its other certifications.

Candidates can take the exam either at a Pearson VUE testing center or via OnVUE online proctoring from a private location with a webcam and reliable internet. Because performance-based questions ask candidates to read, interpret, or complete actual scripts and configuration snippets rather than just answer conceptual questions, hands-on practice with real tooling (a script, a Dockerfile, a CI pipeline definition) is more useful preparation than pure flashcard-style review.

AutoOps+ is designed to put a recognized name on automation and CI/CD skills that many systems administrators, cloud engineers, and network operations staff already perform informally, helping position them for DevOps-adjacent titles such as Automation Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Cloud Operations Engineer, and Site Reliability Engineer. Robert Half's 2026 salary guide places DevOps engineer salaries between roughly $118,000 and $173,750 in the US, reflecting strong demand for professionals who can script, manage infrastructure as code, and run CI/CD pipelines rather than perform purely manual operations work.

Because it's vendor-neutral, the credential signals automation competency that transfers across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and on-premises environments rather than locking a candidate into one platform's certification track. For sysadmins and network/cloud administrators who already hold Network+, Linux+, Cloud+, or Server+, AutoOps+ is a natural next step that demonstrates readiness for the automation and DevOps responsibilities increasingly folded into modern infrastructure roles.
