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!
