Hello friends,

I'm feeling very happy to share with you that I have passed exam yesterday. I would like to thank
Stephane for this amazing course and slides. Almost all the questions are from your slides. I also took
your practice tests. I have seen that around 5 questions were given straight out the practice tests and
most of the questions were similar to practice tests questions with different wording.
Preparation :
I only read slides, some FAQs (mentioned in AWS certfication website)
Stephane's practice tests (I think these would be more than enough as difficulty level is very similar to
actual test)
TIPS:
Got most of the questions (40+) from these topics:
Api gateway(more than 5 questions),
Lambda(more than 5 questions including Integration with api gateway questions) ,
S3 (encryption is very important),
Dynamo DB,
CI/CD,
Cognito, Elasticache, Elastic Beanstalk, SAM( 2-3 questions. Asked about CLI commands),
IAM
I hope I could remember more, but that's all. Thank you Stephane.
