It seems like a certification geared towards introductory coding for configuration management (CM) automation and orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes and similar technologies in the space).

While these topics have formed the crutch of loosely-defined devops/SRE roles these past 5 years, that space is quickly moving towards one where those roles are now more focused on platform engineering. In other words, modern devops/SREs must understand the dev stack in a lot more depth nowadays, and are called platform engineers as a result (I do this currently).

And that dev stack aspect is missing from the objectives for Autocode+ (but will likely be added in a later version of the certification).

I think this is typical of new CompTIA certs. At first, I get the impression the scope is a little misguided, but through later iterations, the exam matures significantly (probably due to high-quality feedback) and eventually shifts to a much more appropriate scope. I noticed this with Cloud+. At first, it seemed like mostly a virtualization cert, not a cloud cert. But it's come a very long ways since it's first generation.
