Cloud Practioner

  • Resources
    • acloud.guru
  • Tips
    • 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.

Associate Exams - Architect, Developer, Sys Ops

  • SysOps Admin
    • Focus on cloudwatch, & metrics related to the common services (dynamodb, ec2, rds, etc)
  • Resources
    • acloud.guru
  • Tips
    • Do all the cloud.guru labs, quizzes and exam builder till you average 85%+

Devops Professional

  • Resources
    • acloud.guru
      • For this specific exam acloud.guru was good for a summary of the exam related services.
    • whizlabs - AWS DevOps Professional Practice Tests
      • 20% of the exam, I had seen before in practice test questions
  • Tips
    • Know CloudFormation, OpsWorks, Beanstalk like the back of your hand
    • Take the sysOp admin associate before, it had a lot of metric related topics (cloudwatch) that were like 30% of the exam

Solutions Architect Professional

  • Resources
    • TBD
