This is the continuation of my earlier post My road to AWS Certified Solution Architect.

I wrote the AWS Certified Solution Architect exam almost 8 months back and after clearing that exam I decided to write my second AWS exam in the next three months but those three months became six. A couple of weeks back I watched the below youtube video “Inside the mind of a master procrastinator | Tim Urban” and was able to co-relate myself to this guy. That was the time when the Panic Monster hit inside my brain and told me this is the correct time to write the next exam.

YAY I cleared the exam!

WARNING: Some House Keeping task, before reading this blog :-) :-)

1: As everyone needs to sign NDA with AWS, I can’t tell you the exact question asked during the exam neither I have GB of memory, but I can give you the pointers what to expect in the exam.

2: As we all know AWS infrastructure updates everyday, so some of the stuff might not be relevant after a few days/weeks/months.

3: Please don’t ask for any exam dumps or question, that defeats the whole purpose of the exam.

Exam Preparation

  • I highly recommend the Linux Academy Course to everyone, Adrian Cantrill did an excellent job in explaining all the concepts and going into the in-depth of all topics.
  • My second recommendation is Acloudguru, especially there “Updates For 2019” section.
  • AWS Re: Invent Videos: I highly recommend going through these videos, as they will give you enough in-depth knowledge about each service.
  • AWS Documentation: Best documentation ever provided by any service provider. Don’t miss the FAQ regarding each service (especially for KMS, IAM, VPC).
