    Observability Foundation Exam FormatWhat to expect on exam day

    The Observability Foundation exam in Cyprus validates your understanding of modern observability and Site Reliability Engineering practice. The exam focuses on the three pillars of observability (metrics, logs, distributed traces), service-level indicators and objectives (SLIs / SLOs), error budgets, OpenTelemetry, telemetry pipelines, burn-rate alerting, and incident-response practice. Through a combination of multiple-choice questions, candidates are tested on their ability to apply observability principles in real-world cloud-native and microservices environments.

    Module 1: Observability Principles and the Three Pillars

    • What observability is — and how it differs from monitoring
    • The three pillars: metrics, logs, distributed traces
    • Cardinality, dimensionality, and high-context telemetry
    • Why observability matters for cloud-native and microservices

    Module 2: Metrics, Logs, and Distributed Tracing

    • Metrics: counters, gauges, histograms, and summaries
    • Structured logging and log aggregation patterns
    • Distributed tracing: spans, contexts, and propagation
    • Correlating metrics, logs, and traces for root-cause analysis

    Module 3: SLIs, SLOs, SLAs, and Error Budgets

    • Defining service-level indicators (SLIs) that matter to users
    • Writing meaningful service-level objectives (SLOs)
    • Error budgets: trading reliability for delivery velocity
    • SLA contracts and customer-facing reliability commitments

    Module 4: OpenTelemetry and Telemetry Pipelines

    • OpenTelemetry: SDKs, collectors, and semantic conventions
    • Telemetry pipelines: aggregation, transformation, routing
    • Sampling strategies (head-based, tail-based, dynamic)
    • Cost management for high-cardinality observability data

    Module 5: Alerting Strategy and Incident Response

    • From alert-on-symptom to alert-on-burn-rate
    • Designing on-call rotations and reducing alert fatigue
    • Incident-response runbooks and structured retrospectives

    The Observability Skills You Will BuildMetrics, Logs, Traces and SLO Practice

    Skills covered in the Observability Foundation course span the full observability lifecycle, from instrumentation to incident response. By the end of the programme you can instrument systems, measure reliability and reason about production behaviour with confidence.

    Observability Beyond Monitoring

    Explain what observability is and how it goes beyond monitoring to surface unknown failures, using the three pillars of metrics, logs and traces to reason about system behaviour.

    Working with the Three Pillars

    Work with counters, gauges and histograms, structured logs and distributed traces, and correlate all three to carry out fast, evidence-based root-cause analysis.

    Instrumentation with OpenTelemetry

    Apply OpenTelemetry SDKs, collectors and semantic conventions to instrument services, and understand telemetry pipelines and sampling strategies that control cost and cardinality.

    SLIs, SLOs, SLAs and Error Budgets

    Define service-level indicators that matter to users, set meaningful objectives, manage error budgets, and connect service-level agreements to real reliability commitments.

    Alerting and Incident Response

    Design burn-rate alerting that cuts noise, plan on-call rotations, run structured incident response, and lead blameless post-mortems that build a continuous-learning culture.

    SRE, AIOps and Exam Readiness
