Linux Academy has also fantastic Labs where you get to actually build and configure stuff in AWS (for instance - your very own VPC and a load balancer). It's much longer than A Cloud Guru one (over FOURTY hours of videos) and I highly recommend watching the videos at 1.5x speed, especially if this is not your first rodeo with AWS. In order to learn more, I went through AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate Level course on Linux Academy. My very first practice exam was an embarrassment, I clearly needed to learn more: "The fuck is a Kinesis, is that a vegetable?" Unfortunately (at least in my case) going through the videos is not enough. It's around 12 hours of content, the videos are really well made and Ryan is a fantastic teacher.Īfter finishing the course, I thought that I was ready for the exam. When it comes to passing the actual exam, I've started with an excellent AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate 2019 course on A Cloud Guru.
In general, the more actual, practical experience you have with AWS, the better. Our project at work is based on serverless stack (including, but not limited to: DynamoDB, serverless framework, Lambda, S3, SQS, CloudFormation) so I had a bit of a headstart. Which is not exactly saying: "you've been doing Backbone.js for 2 years, it'll be a cakewalk for you". The AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate examination is intended for individuals who perform a solutions architect role and have one or more years of hands-on experience designing available, cost-efficient, fault-tolerant, and scalable distributed systems on AWS. (I'm still not, but that was even more true couple of months ago).Īccording to AWS website, this exam is meant for:
Which means that I was not an expert on networking, databases, security etc. Our company at the time, OLX Group was using AWS quite heavily and since the company was betting on AWS, its engineers should bet on it as well.Ī bit of background: I'm a JavaScript/React developer with 7 years of frontend experience. So you want to be a Solutions Architect, huh?Ī while ago I was given a goal to pass the AWS Solutions Architect Associate exam on my first attempt. Disclaimer: this post is based on my personal experiences, I'm not saying this is the best way possible, but it worked for me and I think it might work for you too.
