What?

I'd like to pass the AWS Certified Solutions Arch

Tasks

Notes Preface

I am going to focus on probable elements in the exam to streamline note taking. For example I will detail difference between a Regions and an Availability Zone but I won't take notes on current number of each as it's not as important and in constant change.

AWS Topics Studied

Bold topics are core services and very important to know well

Things I like

  • Elastic nature of AWS
  • Resources spin up in seconds versus days/weeks/months to order new hardware
  • Becuase it's so easy to spin up and spin down resources, it enables more expirmentation to best meet customers and business needs vs putting a lot of eggs in one basket and hoping you designed it right

Things I don't like

  • Most solutions require setting up of many things like Roles, API Gateway, etc and you have spin each down seperattly. I understand why this is and can even excuse it for most things but the Elastic Beanstalk should orchistrate spinning down everything it automatically spins up. TL;DR if you can spin up X or Y with a single click, you should be able to spin down X or Y with the same single click.
  • It's probbaly just me but I wish I there more of a link between what you're being billed for and the AWS resources that are running. EC2-Other isn't very clear.
  • Inconsitency from one AWS service to another. Small example would be to delete a resource you see all of these type the fill name of the bucket to delte it, type Confirm, type confirm, type Delete, etc
  • When new AWS services are launched the the search results are quickly outdated leading to time waste IMO
