    Observability Foundation Exam FormatWhat to expect on exam day

    The Observability Foundation exam in Norway 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.

    SLIs, SLOs, SLAs and Error Budgets

    Define service-level indicators that matter to users, write meaningful SLOs, and use error budgets to balance reliability with delivery velocity across your services.

    OpenTelemetry and Telemetry Pipelines

    Understand OpenTelemetry SDKs, collectors and semantic conventions, and design telemetry pipelines with sampling strategies that manage high-cardinality data and control cost.

    Alerting Strategy and Incident Response
