Overview

With organizations increasingly reliant on automation, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and DevOps workflows, IT teams need professionals who can automate manual processes, manage configuration changes, and support reliable delivery pipelines across different environments.  

CompTIA AutoOps+ gives systems administrators, cloud administrators, network operations specialists, and DevOps professionals a focused way to validate those skills. 

This course validates your skills to automate, secure, and optimize IT operations across cloud and hybrid environments. As part of CompTIA’s new Expansion Series, AutoOps+ is designed to augment your core IT competencies with specialized expertise in automation, scripting, and infrastructure management. Gain hands-on experience to bridge traditional IT roles with modern DevOps practices.

Skills Covered

  • Use scripting and automation to streamline IT workflows and manage enterprise systems efficiently.
  • Automate configuration, provisioning, and maintenance using infrastructure-as-code and modern toolchains.
  • Build and manage CI pipelines to automate testing, ensure quality, and improve collaboration between teams.
  • Implement secure, compliant delivery pipelines that enable rapid, reliable deployment and operational efficiency.

Prerequisites

You do not need to be a software engineer to pursue CompTIA AutoOps+, but you should be comfortable with basic scripting and automation concepts. The exam covers Bash, PowerShell, Python, Git workflows, Infrastructure as Code, and CI/CD pipeline concepts. 

For traditional IT operations professionals, AutoOps+ is designed to help build the automation skills now used across modern infrastructure roles.

Frequently Asked Questions

CompTIA AutoOps+ is designed to comply with the ISO 17024 standard and is pending ANAB review and approval. CompTIA plans to seek ISO 17024 accreditation through ANAB and DoD 8140 approval after launch. 

Because accreditation and mapping are pending, candidates and employers should not treat AutoOps+ as fully approved for DoD 8140 requirements until that approval is finalized. 

AutoOps+ helps you build practical skills for end-to-end automation, DevOps practices, scripting, code management, system configuration, continuous integration, and secure delivery workflows.

Automation, cloud adoption, and DevOps practices have reshaped how infrastructure is managed. Organizations are moving toward continuous integration and delivery, infrastructure as code, and scripted workflows to improve speed, consistency, and reliability. 

That shift has created a clear skills gap. Many IT professionals still operate systems manually, while employers increasingly need people who can design, implement, and manage automated environments at scale. 

AutoOps+ addresses that gap, focusing on the practical skills required to automate operations, reduce errors, and support modern infrastructure workflows.   

Many organizations still rely on manual processes to manage infrastructure, even as systems become more complex and distributed. That creates inefficiencies, increases the risk of errors, and slows down delivery. 

AutoOps+ addresses several key challenges: 

  • The automation skills gap: Teams need professionals who can build and maintain automated workflows, but many existing roles were not originally designed with automation in mind. 
  • Fragmented tooling: Modern environments often include multiple platforms, requiring skills that transfer across systems rather than being tied to one vendor. 
  • Operational inefficiency: Manual configuration and deployment processes are slower and more error-prone than automated alternatives. 
  • Security and compliance risks: Automated pipelines must be designed with security in mind, including proper handling of credentials, access, and configuration. 

By focusing on these areas, the certification aligns with the practical needs of organizations moving toward automated, cloud-connected operations. 

AutoOps+ is an expansion certification focused on IT automation, scripting, system configuration, and CI/CD. It helps infrastructure professionals bridge the gap between traditional IT operations and modern DevOps practices.

Unlike a full job-role certification, an expansion certification is shorter and more focused, helping IT professionals build skills tied to emerging technologies and practices.

The certification is built for professionals who already work in or are moving into infrastructure roles. It is especially relevant for IT pros who want to automate operations, support cloud and hybrid environments, streamline infrastructure management, and build a stronger foundation for DevOps-related work.

A key part of the AutoOps+ value proposition is vendor neutrality. Instead of focusing only on one cloud provider or one toolset, AutoOps+ validates broadly applicable automation concepts that can be used across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, VMware, and other environments.

CompTIA AutoOps+ is not intended to replace platform-specific DevOps certifications. Instead, it provides a vendor-neutral foundation in automation and DevOps practices that can apply across multiple platforms. 

  • With the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer certification, professionals focus deeply on AWS services and is best suited for professionals working primarily in AWS environments.
  • Microsoft AZ-400: DevOps Engineer Expert focuses on Azure DevOps and the Microsoft ecosystem.
  • HashiCorp Terraform Associate focuses specifically on Terraform and Infrastructure as Code.
  • Docker Certified Associate focuses on containerization. 

CompTIA AutoOps+ is broader. It covers scripting, Infrastructure as Code, configuration management, REST API operations, CI/CD pipelines, secrets management, and secure delivery practices. That makes it especially useful for IT professionals who work across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments rather than in a single vendor ecosystem. 

A wide range of technology roles give professionals the opportunity to focus on automation, helping organizations improve efficiency, support teams, and adapt to changing business needs.

According to CompTIA analysis of Lightcast data, there were 2.97 million job listings by employers looking to hire technology professionals across infrastructure, software, data, cybersecurity, support, and enablement roles over the past 12 months through May 2026. This includes 139,170 listings for Systems Administrators, and 171,360 for DevOps Engineers, two examples of roles where automation skills are increasingly relevant.

Salary data further reflects the value of these paths, with median annual salaries of approximately $95,620 for Systems Administrators and $165,760 for DevOps Engineers. AutoOps+ helps professionals build skills that support progression toward more automation-focused career paths.
