I started studying for the LPI DevOps Tools Engineer cert a few weeks ago and wanted to share a quick update for anyone else on the same path. This exam is not about memorizing theory, it tests if you can actually use the tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Git, and Ansible. Having a good grip on basic Linux commands before you start really helps too, since almost everything else builds on that foundation. Instead of just reading definitions, I tried setting up small hands-on projects, like running a few containers or building a basic CI/CD pipeline, and it made a huge difference in actually understanding how these pieces connect.

If anyone wants some structured study material or practice questions to go along with self-study, check this out:

Has anyone here already taken this exam? Would really appreciate knowing which topics felt hardest so I can plan my last few weeks of prep better.
