Detailed Review Of Preparation

Focus on serverless stack

  • DynamoDB
  • lambda
  • api gateway
  • Beanstalk


Then do a lot hands on using CICD tools:-

  • CodeCommit
  • CodeBuild
  • CodePipeline
  • Codedeploy


Learn cloudformation it is an amazing skill to be dealt with.

For monitoring CloudTrail, Cloudwatch and XRAY are good enough to focus on.

Surprisingly my exam had a lot of security related questions and I thought for a second it was a bit more tricky than what I practiced but if you have done hands on really well you will easily pass.
