AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C02) Experience


Prep

Online Exam

  • PearsonVue browserlock kept detecting itself on Catalina on my MacBook Air and exiting, so I ended up using a Windows laptop instead.
  • OnVue app on Windows kept detecting “gamebar”, which I had to disable (and reboot Windows to fully take effect)
  • Make sure the laptop that you’re using can be maneuvered to show all the workspace within reach.
  • Have a phone handy for check-in, but a convenient place to stash out of sight/sound range.
  • Make sure anything with any print or writing is out of view and out of reach of the workspace area before check-in.

Contents That I Could’ve Been More Prepared For

  • SQS vs. Kinesis use cases
  • Priority queueing – I think this requires either AmazonMQ or a separate SQS queues (depending on priority levels)
  • ECS launch types. ECS vs. Fargate vs. EKS
  • Amazon RDS Read Replicas vs Aurora Global Database
