Red Hat Certified Specialist in Containers

 January 20, 2026

Yesterday, I passed the Red Hat EX188 exam, which allowed me to renew my Red Hat Certified Specialist in Containers certification.

I had a very good memory of this exam from the last time I took it, so I was happy to go through it again. Different from last time, I did encounter some difficulties with the last exercise, which was a little surprising to me, since the last time I found it testing the same capabilities as a walk in the park, but maybe this time I simply started with the wrong foot. This obviously had no major impact on my exam, allowing me to easily achieve and exceed the required score to pass.

Overall, I found the exam experience very positive. I would suggest this exam to anyone who wants to test their knowledge of Podman or must demonstrate it to an employer or other third party.

Disclaimer: I have not personally paid for this exam since my current employer has covered the certification expenses.
