ACE Expert — L7 Certification

The ACE Expert (L7) is the highest and most prestigious certification in the Arista certification track, reserved for elite network architects and senior engineers with exceptional depth of Arista knowledge. This certification validates mastery across the full spectrum of Arista technologies — including large-scale data center design, multi-site BGP EVPN, Network as Code with CloudVision CI/CD pipelines, programmable EOS APIs, and advanced security architectures. The ACE Expert exam involves complex scenario-based challenges that require candidates to demonstrate strategic thinking, architectural decision-making, and deep technical expertise rather than simple recall. Achieving ACE Expert status is a mark of distinction recognized across the networking industry.
