AWS Certifications Resource Recommendations

I just got 5 AWS certifications & wanted to share the resources I used in case it helps others

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.

Exam Dumps Free - 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
