Is AutoOps+ worth it? The Crydd Verdict
CS 70Choose it if
You are a network, cloud or systems administrator moving towards automation and want a vendor-neutral credential for it.
Consider alternatives if
Your team has picked its tools: Terraform Associate or the Kubernetes certifications prove those directly.
Why we say so
Automation is now part of most operations jobs, and this marks the step from running systems by hand to running them as code.
Market demand
Automation skills appear in most infrastructure postings; employers usually name specific tools, so AutoOps+ works best alongside one of them.
