Awarded for completing Cloud Workload Identity Federation and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to explain the identity assertion and trust relationship mechanism, apply it to the build pipeline and cross-cloud use cases, scope and govern a trust configuration to the principle of least privilege, audit and monitor federated access, sequence a migration from static credentials, and state honestly what federation does not solve on its own.
Certificates are designed to be checked, not just displayed.
The credential is valid for 12 months from issue. Its public page states the expiry date, and renewing means passing the current exam again — so the credential always reflects the current material.
