Exam Prep: AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Foundations

Welcome to Exam Prep: AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner! In this course, we present content on all four knowledge domains that are covered in the exam. It's important to understand that on the exam, questions from all domains are presented in random order. In this week, you will get an overview of relevant concepts and services for Cloud Concepts (Domain 1). For this domain, question walkthroughs cover defining the benefits of the AWS Cloud, aspects of AWS Cloud economics, and explaining the different design principles for cloud architecture. In addition, this week features a simulation where you explore the AWS Management Console and navigate through helpful places to find information.

Welcome to Week 2! This week, you will review relevant concepts and services for Security and Compliance (Domain 2) so you can get a benchmark of your knowledge in this area. Question walkthroughs for this domain address the topics of defining the AWS shared responsibility model, defining concepts about AWS Cloud security and compliance, and identifying capabilities for AWS access management. In the simulation for the Security and Compliance domain, you get an opportunity to understand the purpose of user and identity management by reviewing AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) groups, users, roles, and policies.

Welcome to Week 3! This week, you will get an overview of relevant concepts and services for Technology (Domain 3) so you can get a benchmark of your knowledge in this area. For this domain, the question walkthroughs focus on defining methods of deploying and operating in the AWS Cloud, defining the AWS global infrastructure, and identifying the core AWS services. This week features an optional, hands-on exercise for the Technology domain, where you will create an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance and an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. You will then create an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) from the instance. Finally, you will terminate the instance and clean up any volumes or snapshots that remain. An accompanying video walkthrough shows one possible solution for addressing the exercise requirements.
