AWS Solution Architect — Associate
I started off my preparing for exam in December , thinking I would book my exam after finishing my study ,but kept postponing my study . That was my biggest mistake.
Later in January I have booked my exam that’s when I have actually started studying seriously. Below are good resources for preparation 1.Udemy — Acloud Guru course 2. Linux academy 3. Whiz labs . Udemy AWS certification course by Ryan Kroonenburg, Faye Elliswhich has 14 hrs lecture ,gave me good start to understand different services in aws . I finished my course in 2 weeks and gave practice test , I could get only 60% which is not good enough to pass the exam. While giving practice test I have realized that I haven’t paid enough attention to some of the key points for passing the exam .Later I started with Linux academy ,It was comprehensive 58 hours of lecturer and labs ,which I have missed in udemy . Both courses are great ,here I am am not trying to compare which one is better ,but together they were very helpful to understand the concepts very well. Finally, whiz labs I bought course for 13$ just 3 days before my certification exam . It have 7 practice tests , which gave very good confidence in answering product/service related question in exam. Linux academy and Udemy practice tests majorly helped answering scenario based questions.
So finally on my test day , I got most of the questions on below topics
- Cloudfront
- Redis
- Dynamo db
- Route 53
- VPC peering ,gateway
- Routing tables,NACL
- Very few questions on s3
Out of 65 questions around 15–20 were multi select answers .
