    What Is the Observability Foundation Certification?Your Route into Modern Reliability

    The Observability Foundation (OBSF) certification is a vendor-neutral credential from the DevOps Institute that validates your ability to understand a system's internal state from its external outputs: metrics, logs and distributed traces. It proves you can move a team beyond traditional monitoring to true observability. Built around the current Observability Foundation Exam Blueprint, the course covers the three pillars, SLIs, SLOs and error budgets, OpenTelemetry, alerting and incident response. It suits DevOps engineers, site reliability engineers, platform engineers and IT operations professionals who want a recognised observability credential. As Malaysia's data centre, cloud and digital-banking boom raises the bar for system reliability, employers across Kuala Lumpur are hiring people who can keep complex services healthy. Start your OBSF journey with Invensis Learning and turn observability into a real career advantage.

    Invensis Learning is a Peoplecert Accredited Training Organization (2778) in Malaysia, approved to deliver official Observability Foundation training using accredited courseware and standards.

    Observability Foundation Exam FormatWhat to expect on exam day

    The Observability Foundation exam in Malaysia 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
    • Blameless postmortems and continuous-learning loops

    Module 6: SRE, AIOps, and Observability Foundation Exam Prep

    The Observability Skills You Will BuildFrom Metrics and Traces to SLOs and OpenTelemetry

    Observability Foundation training gives you the practical skills covered in the DevOps Institute Body of Knowledge. By the end of the programme, you can instrument systems, define reliability targets, cut alert noise and troubleshoot cloud-native services with confidence.

    Understand the Three Pillars of Observability

    Learn what observability is and how it differs from monitoring, and work confidently with the three pillars: metrics, logs and distributed traces. This is the first thing you will learn in Observability Foundation training, and it underpins everything else.

    Master Metrics, Logs and Distributed Tracing

    Apply counters, gauges and histograms, the RED and USE methods and the Four Golden Signals, use structured logging and aggregation, and follow requests across services with spans and trace context to find root cause fast.

    Define SLIs, SLOs and Error Budgets

    Set service-level indicators that matter to users, write meaningful SLOs, and use error budgets to balance reliability with delivery velocity, the reliability language employers expect from SRE and platform teams.

    Instrument Systems with OpenTelemetry

    Work with OpenTelemetry SDKs, collectors and semantic conventions, design telemetry pipelines, and apply sampling strategies while managing the cost of high-cardinality observability data.

    Design Alerting and Incident Response

    Move from alert-on-symptom to burn-rate alerting, plan on-call rotations that reduce alert fatigue, and run incident runbooks, blameless postmortems and continuous-learning loops.

    Apply Observability in SRE and AIOps

    See how observability supports mature SRE practice, anomaly detection and AIOps, and prepare for the 40-question, 60-minute open-book exam with structured revision and time-management techniques.

    Exam

    What is the format of the Observability Foundation exam?

    The exam is an open-book, single-answer multiple-choice paper based on the current Observability Foundation Exam Blueprint. It has 40 questions and a 60-minute time limit, delivered online proctored or at an authorised test centre.

    How many questions are on the exam and how long is it?

    The Observability Foundation exam has 40 multiple-choice questions and a duration of 60 minutes (one hour). It is an open-book format with single-answer questions.

    What is the passing score for the OBSF exam?

    The passing score is 65%, which means answering at least 26 of the 40 questions correctly. Focus on broad understanding across all the Body of Knowledge topic areas rather than any single module.

    How is the exam delivered?

    The DevOps Institute partners with PeopleCert for delivery. You can sit the exam online with remote proctoring via PeopleCert OnVUE, or at an authorised test centre, whichever is more convenient for you.

    What topics does the Observability Foundation exam cover?

    The exam covers the DevOps Institute Body of Knowledge: observability principles and the three pillars, metrics, logs and distributed tracing, SLIs, SLOs, SLAs and error budgets, OpenTelemetry and telemetry pipelines, alerting and incident response, and SRE and AIOps.

    What if I do not pass the exam on the first attempt?

    Our training includes practice questions, mock exams and first-attempt guidance to help you prepare thoroughly. If you need to re-sit, confirm the current re-sit policy and any fees with the DevOps Institute, and our team can guide you through it.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in Observability Foundation training?

    You will learn to work with metrics, logs and distributed traces, define SLIs, SLOs and error budgets, instrument systems with OpenTelemetry, design effective alerting and incident response, and apply observability within SRE and AIOps practice.

    How long is the training and what format is it?

    The programme runs for 16 hours, typically over two full days or four half-days. It is delivered as live virtual instructor-led training, classroom sessions, or customised corporate group training.

    Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes. There are no formal prerequisites, so beginners are welcome. Some familiarity with DevOps or IT operations makes the content easier to absorb, and the trainer supports you through the core concepts.

    Are practice questions and mock exams included?
