An Old Noob #6 - Back to School

This will be quick, promise.

First and always, thanks for reading. Since last i posted, i've handled a few to-dos for my site - got the Cloudfront invalidation Lambda in place, which was a big one.

However, my focus this week has been studying for my first AWS certification, AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner. After a bit of research, there were a few items repeatedly mentioned by various sources as key to survival on this. The first highly recommended resource is the Udemy full practice exam suite. These are reputed to be some of the most difficult practice exams available and knowing the material on these should surpass the knowledge required to pass the exam.

The second resource often resounded is Digital Cloud's AWS CCP Practice Exam program. These practice exams are delivered in a format similar to that used in the AWS exam, so not only tests your AWS knowledge but prepares you for the amount of questions, time allowed and the digital delivery of the exam itself.

Fortunately when it comes to this exam, there are many guides and tools out there. Ultimately, it's figure out where my knowledge gaps are and bridge 'em.

Simple, right?

The best resource for the cloud practitioner for me is the Amazon training tutorials: aws.amazon.com/training/

You can read the video transcript to learn at your own pace rather than watching the videos.
