ACA-DevOps Retired: Historical Blueprint and Next Steps

ACA-DevOps

Retired exam

ACA-DevOps was retired on March 31, 2025

Alibaba Cloud Academy's certification update announcement puts the DevOps certification in its 'Retiring Certification List' - 'ACP DevOps Engineer' - with 'End of Sales (EOS): December 31, 2024', 'End of Life (EOL): March 31, 2025' and 'Grace Period: June 30, 2025', and states 'Learners won't be able to recertify after End of Life (EOL) because these exams will no longer be offered.' The registry's exam page edu.alibabacloud.com/certification/aca_devops now answers 'Page not found.' and no DevOps certification appears anywhere in Alibaba's current catalogue.

No direct replacement is named in the reviewed official sources.
