Description

What is AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner?

The AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C01) is the foundational level of AWS certification. This certification offers an overview of core services offered by AWS, security, network, and cloud pricing, and the available support services. Many individuals continue on to additional certifications after completing Cloud Practitioner.

Learning Objectives

The aim of the certification is to validate your knowledge across a number of different key areas, which have been defined by AWS as being able to:

• Explain the value of the AWS Cloud
• Understand and explain the AWS shared responsibility model
• Understand security best practices
• Understand AWS Cloud costs, economics, and billing practices
• Describe and position the core AWS services, including compute, network, databases, and storage

As a means of demonstrating this knowledge, you will be tested across 4 different domains, with each domain contributing to a total percentage of your overall score. These domains are broken down as:

Domain 1: Cloud Concepts (26%)

Are you about to do the certification soon? Below you will find some tips from my side that you should definitely consider when taking the certification exam!

Tips for the Certification Exam:

1. Read the questions carefully! Read every word of the question and watch out for words like “not” and phrases that indicate that multiple answers have to be picked like “which two of the following”.
2. Prepare pen and paper for the exam! This is important for you to make a note when you want to revisit a question at the end.
3. Prepare a timer (smartphone)! Set a timer to 60 min (half time) and 110 min (10 min before time is over) to make sure that you are still on track with your answering speed and 10 min before time is over to revisit open questions.
4. Try to use a process of elimination! If you are unsure which answer(s) are correct try to eliminate the answers for which you are confident that they are not correct. Most of the time there are 1-2 answers presented that you can exclude right from the start. If you tend to go back and forth between the two to three answers left then just note the question down for later but click on the answer you think is most likely to be correct. Maybe you won’t have time later for revisiting the question!

These were all my tips for the certification exam. I wish you all the best and good luck!!!
