I saw there were lots of AWS videos on the HR training portal. Recently I have found there is a certification track for Architect Associate! Maybe it is time to pick up the slack on this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
I was thinking of writing a post on this exam, when I saw I wrote a post halfway on 27 Oct 2019, thought I close this post by finishing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exam was 65 design multiple choice questions in 130 minutes. I did it on site. There were no simulation, subnet, CLI or Powershell questions. There was one question on what script to run to query for metadata, I just chose CLI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were lots of questions on a de-coupled applications, how to implement them in more ways than I could imagine. SNS and SQS came up frequently and so did storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were a few questions on containers, Elastic Container Service and Fargate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The one that tripped me up big time was the rotation of keys and how to do it. The obvious answer is Key Management System, but detailed steps were asked. I never demoed that or watch the video to do this. Such an obvious exam topic but I did not check them out. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the end process of preparing for the exam and taking it, I wasn’t sure I am cut out for this line of work in real life. The repetition was getting to me and I did not see any magic upside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I still passed the exam \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Project Management Professional exam is now calling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
