The exam covers 20 questions and will take you approximately 30min to complete.

The topics covered in the exam include:

• The Theory of Chaos Engineering
• Using Gremlin to practice Chaos Engineering

To prepare for this exam, we recommend both learning about Chaos Engineering and using Gremlin to learn by doing.

Gremlin has some very easy to use Chaos Engineering tools/scenarios at https://www.gremlin.com/ , e.g. Blackhole to drop all matching network traffic in a safe scenario test. You can sign-up for a Gremlin account for exam purposes here: gremlin.com/buttons.

Gremlin is also easy to try out more at the AWS marketplace: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-tosyg6v5cyney?qid=1623737218823&sr=0-1&ref_=srh_res_product_title (Free Edition: 1 Team, 1 Agent, 2 Attacked Targets Monthly, Unlimited Attacks; cost = $0!)
