About DOP-C02
Automating delivery and operations across an AWS estate: multi-stage pipelines, deployment strategies, infrastructure as code at scale, fleet management with Systems Manager, and automated incident response. Expect long scenarios where the answer is the most automated, least manual path.
Who it's for. DevOps and platform engineers who own CI/CD and operations for many teams or accounts.
How to prepare
- Know every CodeDeploy deployment configuration and its rollback behaviour, for EC2, ECS and Lambda.
- Cross-account pipelines and StackSets with Organizations come up often. Practise the IAM role chaining involved.
- EventBridge → Lambda or SSM Automation is the default shape for "automatically remediate" answers.
Sample DOP-C02 questions
Try these with the answers on the page, then practise the full bank.
- Which are REQUIRED to perform an ECS blue/green deployment with CodeDeploy? (Choose TWO) SDLC automation
- A security team requires that a set of IAM roles and a Config recorder be deployed to every existing and FUTURE account in an OU across 3 regions, with minimal effort. What should be used? Configuration management and IaC
- When a CloudFormation stack is deleted, an S3 bucket and DynamoDB table must be kept, and an RDS instance should leave a final snapshot. Which attributes? Configuration management and IaC
- A global app needs a relational DB with RPO of about 1 second and RTO under 1 minute in another region, with minimal management. What should be used? Resilient cloud solutions
- A new AMI must be rolled out to an ASG gradually, keeping 90% healthy, pausing at checkpoints, and rolling back if alarms fire. What should be used? Resilient cloud solutions
- Dashboards in a central monitoring account must show metrics, logs and traces from 20 workload accounts without copying data. What should be configured? Monitoring and logging
- A team needs an automated incident workflow: page on-call engineers with escalation, open a chat channel, and run a runbook when a critical alarm fires. Which service? Incident and event response
- Container images must be scanned continuously for new CVEs, including images pushed months ago. What should be enabled? Security and compliance

Questions people ask
Is this DOP-C02 practice exam free?
Yes. All 100 questions, the timed mock exam and the explanations are free, and there's no account to create.
Are these real exam questions?
No. Real exam questions are confidential under the AWS candidate agreement. These are practice questions written to cover the same domains in the same scenario style, each with an explanation of why the answer is right.
How is the DOP-C02 mock exam scored?
Questions are drawn from every domain in proportion to the exam guide, and you get a raw percentage with a breakdown by domain. AWS uses scaled scoring, so treat 75% or more here as a sign you're ready rather than a predicted score.
