We offers a
wide variety of video courses, quizzes, and Hands-on Labs on different areas of
cloud computing. Our Learning Paths help you get from where you are to where

content on the Learning Path serves a different instructional purpose:
· Video courses provide guided lectures
on key areas of the exam, with examples.
· The Hands-on Labs provide direct
access to the AWS service test areas.
· Quizzes are the opportunity to show
what you’ve learned, with links to AWS documentation.
The
Solutions Architect – Associate Learning Path focuses on:
· Designing highly available,
cost-efficient, fault tolerant and scalable systems
· Implementation and deployment
· Data security
· Troubleshooting
· Using the Learning Path
An essential
element of the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate study guide
involves understanding the gaps in your knowledge. First, consider what you
already know and what you need to know. Where do you have experience in
computing or working with cloud services? What basic cloud service types (IaaS,
PaaS or SaaS, for example) are you most familiar with? How does this prepare
you for the Solutions Architect exam?
Second, take
a look at the general knowledge prerequisites. The only prior knowledge
recommended for this Learning Path is basic familiarity with core AWS
functions. If you know these functions, then you are ready. (If you are new to
AWS, or want a refresher, start with the Fundamentals of AWS Learning Path
first).
Third, the
Solutions Architect – Associate Learning Path naturally builds from AWS
fundamentals to more advanced areas. For the best approach, start at the
beginning with the first course and continue step by step. Complete each
activity in order to ensure that you’re familiar with services like EC2 or
DynamoDB. Then, move on to test your knowledge in the labs and quizzes.
You see,
there is no secret. Just make sure that you understand the fundamentals of AWS,
and go from there.
How long
will it take?
This is a
natural question. Passing the exam requires being well prepared, and how long
that takes depends on where you start.
On average,
we recommend approximately 80 hours of preparation for the Solution Architect –
Associate Exam, as long as you have some AWS experience. This includes study
across all of your resources, including our Solutions Architect Learning Path,
and any other resources that you choose. (Here you will find more advice and
recommended study resources for the Solutions Architect – Associate
Certification). With a full-time job and other commitments, investing 80 hours
of study usually takes two months.
If you are
entirely new to AWS, we recommend approximately 120 hours or three months to
prepare. Start with the fundamentals, and then move to the Solutions Architect
– Associate Learning Path.
