      <description>&lt;p&gt;I just got 5 AWS certifications &amp;amp; wanted to share the resources I used in case it helps others&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cloud Practioner&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resources&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
acloud.guru&lt;br&gt;
Tips&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I would study for the solutions architect associate first, then just knock out the cloud practitioner the next day. It's 80% the same material.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Associate Exams - Architect, Developer, Sys Ops&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SysOps Admin&lt;br&gt;
Focus on cloudwatch, &amp;amp; metrics related to the common services (dynamodb, ec2, rds, etc)&lt;br&gt;
Resources&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*&lt;em&gt;acloud.guru&lt;br&gt;
*&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tips&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Do all the cloud.guru labs, quizzes and exam builder till you average 85%+&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Devops Professional&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Resources&lt;br&gt;
acloud.guru&lt;br&gt;
For this specific exam acloud.guru was good for a summary of the exam related services.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://examdumpsfree.com/"&gt;Exam Dumps Free&lt;/a&gt; - AWS DevOps Professional Practice Tests&lt;br&gt;
20% of the exam, I had seen before in practice test questions&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tips&lt;br&gt;
Know CloudFormation, OpsWorks, Beanstalk like the back of your hand&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Take the sysOp admin associate before, it had a lot of metric related topics (cloudwatch) that were like 30% of the exam&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Solutions Architect Professional&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Resources&lt;br&gt;
TBD&lt;/p&gt;
