If you are planing to take AWS Solution architect exam associate level, that’s great! It’s a very very good way to check your knowledge and also get deeper in the Cloud, have a better job and prove yourself as a know-how worker in the field.
Whether you are a beginner or have years of experience working on AWS Cloud, checking your knowledge before taking the real test is crucial.
First, assure that you have some hand-on experience with AWS services. Because there are lots of services offered by AWS (more than 40 services so far), having your hand dirty by playing around with them is a must.
Second, read and read a lot. It’s wonderful that Amazon has a comprehensive documentation in which we can find almost anything about its services. I recommend that you read as many FAQs as possible. They give you concise concept in an appropriate order.
Last, ask yourself following items, and be sure that you know what they mean.
- VPC subnet, security group access list
- EC2 spot instance, metadata
- S3: read-after-write consistency, eventually consistency
- RDS
- Direct connect
- Import/Export
- Chef
- Simple work flow, CloudFormation, OpsWorks,
- storage for durability and low latency
- how auto scaling terminate instance
- EBS root volume on stop
- why use SQS
- what is a subnet
- why can’t an EC2 instance connect to internet
- Why can’t SSH to EC2 instance
- how many subnets to deploy
- how to maintain equally traffic among AZs
- placement group
- EC2 EBS-backed vs instance-store-backed
- how to change instance type in an auto-scaling group
- how to use IAM role for EC2 instance after it has been deployed
- how to use third-party software having access to S3
If you have any difficulty in recognize them, just go to Amazon documentation and find your answer.
Cheers!
