OTCA practice exam

I’m studying for the OpenTelemetry Certified Associate and built this to drill for it: 200 original questions weighted like the real exam, each with an explanation and a link to the docs. Run a timed 60-question simulation, a quick set of 5 or 10, or study one domain at a time.

I’m Matthew.

This is where I share the things I’m building and what I learn along the way. Mostly AI, observability, Kubernetes, and projects that start in the homelab.
