I’ve been studying to take the AWS Solutions Architect Professional exam, and it is hard.
I’ve been good at test-taking in the past, but I’m not going to just skate through this one. I took the practice exam they have for $40, and I bombed it pretty hard. But they did identify areas of weakness to enable me to focus my study.
Here’s a partial list of topics you have to know well to get this certification:
- EC2
- Storage Gateway
- Route 53
- CloudFront
- CloudFormation
- Elastic Load Balancer
- IAM
- VPC
- Direct Connect
- RDS
- KMS
- DynamoDB
- Directory Service
I’ll be sitting the exam on December 15th. Wish me luck!
