We wanted to circle back on this email thread <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2019-January/001911.html> and provide an update on the Certified OpenStack Administrator (COA) exam. We’ve listened to community feedback and so has the OpenStack ecosystem. We are excited to collaborate with Mirantis who has stepped up to donate resources, including the administration of the vendor-neutral OpenStack certification exam now running on OpenStack Rocky. We are planning to continue COA exam sales starting this Thursday, October 17. If you’re interested in becoming a COA, you will be able to buy an exam through the OpenStack website <http://openstack.org/coa> or through one of the many OpenStack training partners in the marketplace <https://www.openstack.org/marketplace/training/>. We are excited to continue growing the market of certified OpenStack professionals and appreciate the community’s patience as we identified a solution moving forward. Please reach out if you have any questions and we will continue to update openstack.org/coa as the certification program evolves. Thanks, Jimmy
