What Is the EX374 Exam?

EX374 — officially the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Developing Automation with Ansible Automation Platform exam, often shortened to "Red Hat Certified Specialist in Ansible Automation" — tests your ability to create Ansible playbooks that perform real system administration tasks. Like other Red Hat exams, it's entirely performance-based: you build and run working automation content on live systems rather than answering theory questions.

Passing EX374 earns the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Developing Automation with Ansible Automation Platform credential, which counts toward Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA). It's the standard credential for demonstrating hands-on Ansible development skills at scale.
