Preparation
Red Hat encourages you to consider taking Managing Virtual Machines with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization (DO316) to help prepare for this exam.

Exam format
This exam consists of a single section lasting four hours. The exam is a performance based evaluation of candidates' abilities to implement Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization operator and virtual machines in an OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Candidates perform a number of routine tasks similar to those they would be expected to perform in a large-scale environment and are evaluated on whether those tasks meet specific objective criteria. Internet access is not provided during the exam, and you will not be permitted to bring any hard copy or electronic documentation into the exam. This prohibition includes notes, books, or any other materials. For most exams, the documentation that ships with the product is available during the exam.
