Before you try giving this certification, the assumption is that you are already an AWS Cloud Practitioner (not necessarily certified).&nbsp;<\/li><li>By now, you know that AWS DevOps engineer is a professional-level specialty certification. Although no prerequisite certification is needed, it is a good idea to test the waters with an Associate level exam. It is good to take the AWS Solutions Architect Associate Exam before appearing for all AWS professional exams. Additionally, to be better prepared, another associate-level certification you can take is AWS SysOps Admin.&nbsp;<\/li><li>The exam doesn&#8217;t test you on your coding skills but practices writing code using AWS Lambda, Amazon Elastic Beanstalk, Amazon EC2, Amazon S3 bucket, and IAM policies in your favorite programming language.<\/li><li>Review examples of common Linux command or Windows PowerShell commands for their respective environment or platform before taking the test.<\/li><li>Hands-on experience is a must to pass this specialty certification. To ensure you do not forget what you gained in certification, you should try these things in your respective projects. One way to do this is to try doing a Proof Of Concept (PoC).&nbsp;<\/li><li>If that&#8217;s not feasible, try to create your own mini-scenarios and figure out what scenario is the most optimized way to do it because using AWS Services, you can do one thing in multiple ways.

This scenario will cover more than one AWS Cloud Service and touch several exam domains.&nbsp;<\/li><li>So, you need to understand how different services can integrate with each other. E.g., How does data from S3 be accessed using CloudFront while enabling the CloudWatch.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Use the process of elimination if you aren&#8217;t sure of the answer. Once you practice enough questions, you will notice that the answer choices are often made up of features or just plain incorrect.
