I'm still trying to study for AWS Cloud Practitioner, because my employee uses AWS and I wouldn't bother otherwise. TBH I'm really struggling to finish the course due to the fact I find the subject matter incredibly dull - it's just a whirlwind tour of all the major AWS services. Learning OS internals, networking, software architecture, etc. would be more useful and interesting...
- tsjq 5y agosame feeling here too. there is almost very less actual concepts involved and more or 'where to click to do what' . indeed boring and unmotivating.
- OJFord 5y agoAnd clicking anywhere to do things is.. not a great way to do them! So that pretty much backs up the age old joke-but-kind-of-serious 'They're really useful... As an indicator of who not to hire'. (Though I get it for consultants/contractors etc. who have to impress non-technical people. Sure, fine, tick all the boxes you can.)
- bradknowles 5y agoTake the practice exams first. If you do well enough on them, then you can probably take the real exam and pass with a good enough grade. If not, then you at least know what areas you need to go study. But I would take multiple practice exams first, and make sure you get decent ones and not just free ones you find laying around somewhere.
- CodeGlitch 5y agoThat's actually pretty good advice - cheers
