Cisco Certified DevNet Associate Exam Format
Everything the official exam blueprint specifies: question count, time limit, scoring and the weight each domain carries. The Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Automation certification validates your ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-sized routed and switched networks with a strong emphasis on programmable infrastructure, network automation, and DevOps methodologies. This exam (200-901) expands the traditional CCNA with Python scripting, REST API consumption, and automation tooling fundamentals. It prepares you for entry-level network automation roles and provides a solid foundation for higher-level Cisco certifications like CCNP Enterprise or DevNet Professional.

Note from the vendor record: Active, but rebranded: exam 200-901 is now Automating Networks Using Cisco Platforms (200-901 CCNAAUTO) for the CCNA Automation certification, replacing Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) for DevNet Associate. Cisco's official certification update states the DevNet-to-Automation rebrand took effect February 3, 2026 (last date to test under the prior exam name February 2, 2026) with no change to exam content, and the legacy current-list/devasc-200-901 URL now redirects to this CCNAAUTO page; associate-level price confirmed at $US300, prerequisites none, valid 3 years. Uncertainty: the exam page states v1.0 while the official learningnetwork exam topics state v1.1, and stale sections of cisco.com still list 'DEVASC 200-901'. Official exam page
