- Is MeasureUp Microsoft Official Practice Test AZ-900 a good study material to prepare for exam AZ-900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals?by /u/NeHeMueL (Microsoft Azure Certifications) on June 27, 2022 at 4:15 am

- Is it possible to avoid being charged for Azure disk storage?by /u/SpartanJ5 (Microsoft Azure Certifications) on June 27, 2022 at 3:13 am
I created an Azure account earlier this year so that I can have a lab environment to play around in to get experience that would eventually help me start on the path of getting certified as well as general experience since I don't currently use Azure for my current work duties. However, I have been getting charged $6 each month event though my vm has been shut down and deallocated for a few months now. I finally logged in to see what I can do about it and discovered that it appears I am being charged for the disk space for my OS. Is there a way around not being charged other than deleting my vm and storage each time I try and do some lab work? BTW, I've already exhausted the free azure subscription quite some time ago so that's not an option. submitted by /u/SpartanJ5 [link] [comments]

Has anyone taken the "Azure Databricks Platform Admin Certification" from Databricks? If so, what are the best practice tests to try? I found some on Udemy but they have a low rating.

- Passed AZ-900 todayby /u/cloudsandbox (Microsoft Azure Certifications) on June 26, 2022 at 12:48 am
Spend all of one week reviewing and then took the AZ-900 today and passed with an 835. I expected it to be a bit tougher. Great experience though. John Savill’s videos and Microsoft Learn were enough for it. Next is the AZ-104, which I know is not going to be easy. I am going to set a goal of getting it with it 3 months though. submitted by /u/cloudsandbox [link] [comments]

- Would you say getting certified is enough to work as a Cloud Architect/Engineerby /u/CerealBit (Microsoft Azure Certifications) on June 25, 2022 at 10:49 am
How could would you say do the certs (especially Associate + Expert) prepare you for a job as a Cloud Architect? Would you say you feel competent enough to consult a customer in this context and design cloud native architecture afterwards (learning-on-the-job pretty much)? I'm currently working as a senior consultant and software engineer (7 years of experience). I have two offers with Senior Cloud Architect positions. I designed a SaaS architecture in Azure but only have around 1 year of cloud experience in the cloud. I have some doubts about my skillset, given that I know some Senior Cloud Architects with < 10 years of experience... Thanks! submitted by /u/CerealBit [link] [comments]
- Passed AZ-900 and MS-900 both in same week!by /u/EnthusiasmCrafty5986 (Microsoft Azure Certifications) on June 25, 2022 at 10:12 am
Used Adam Marczak to pass AZ-900, passed in two weeks spending a couple of hours a night. MS-900 passed after two days of study. Planning on now completing AZ-104, I use Azure typically daily in my Senior IT Engineer role over the last couple of months. How long has it taken people with similar experience with Azure to pass AZ-104? What is the best way to prepare, planning on using John Savill’s study material as I’m more of a doer/visual learner than written? Also hoping my firm will soon close their deal with LinkedIn learning so I can use that platform too. Any advice also appreciated! submitted by /u/EnthusiasmCrafty5986 [link] [comments]
- Obligatory I passed my AZ-900 earlier this morningby /u/Skandiluz (Microsoft Azure Certifications) on June 24, 2022 at 11:24 pm
As the title says, spent around 2 weeks studying for it. I was initially typing notes out, as I always do, but about a week into it, I was only on module 2. I decided to just learn visually and poke around in the Azure portal while reading the docs. Scheduled my exam for today and finished it in about 20 minutes. Here’s how I did it, for anyone looking to take it. Used the MS Learn for Azure Fundamentals. I did every single unit including the examples. A After this I did the first exam from TutorialsDojo and got a 75%. Felt really good about that. Did a little more studying and took the second exam, got a 64%. Turns out I had a lot of gaps. Went through John Savills exam cram and used the az-900 playlist for specific videos. Took the TD exam 2 again, got an 85%. Yesterday, I on and off studied all day, mostly in spurts so I wouldn’t try to cram too much. I did exam 3 last night and got an 70% and the final exam an hour after the 3rd in which I got a 90%. As of now, I’m already jumping straight into the AZ-104 then I’ll probably take the SC-900 followed by the AZ-500 submitted by /u/Skandiluz [link] [comments]
- Would getting Azure certifications while already working in Azure DevOps justify me to ask for higher compensation?by /u/DelicateJohnson (Microsoft Azure Certifications) on June 24, 2022 at 9:40 pm
I moved up in my company to Junior DevOps Engineer and have been studying various AZ-400 courses pick and choosy like to help me grasp what I need to do in the moment. Usually once I get the basics I then work with other members of my team to create solutions. I only have my AZ-900, and to get the AZ-400 I need to do the AZ-104 or AZ-204. I feel a bigger affinity to the AZ-204 since I have a strong C# and Powershell background and automation and program concepts are easy for me. Be that as it may, would it be worth my time to get the AZ-204 and AZ-400 in that it would give me more negotiating power for higher compensation, or since I am already doing the job should my projects and experience be worth more at this point than certs? tl;dr are azure certs more important to get your foot in the door or do they still hold value if you are already in the door submitted by /u/DelicateJohnson [link] [comments]

- Google helps Indonesia advance education on cloud, machine learning, and mobile development through Bangkit academyby (Training & Certifications) on June 16, 2022 at 4:00 pm
Indonesia is leading the way for digital transformation in Southeast Asia. According to Google’s e-Conomy South East Asia report, the country’s 2030 Gross Merchandise Value - the value of online retailing to consumers - could be twice the value of the whole of Southeast Asia today. This growth means that many companies need more qualified IT graduates and employees with digital skills than they have today. Fast-growing tech companies need more qualified IT graduates, and employees with digital skills. According to the World Bank, Indonesia needs an additional nine million people with digital skills by 2030. The shortage of technical talent reiterates the need to invest in a reliable skills pipeline. Following years of digital talent developments in Indonesia, Google has become a supporter of Bangkit, an academy designed to produce high-caliber technical talent for Indonesian technology companies and startups. Bangkit has facilitated a multi-stakeholder collaboration between Google, government, industry, and universities across Indonesia. Last year, the President of Indonesia and the Ministry of Education and Culture, Research, and Technology, acknowledged Bangkit’s significant impact, with 3,000 students completing nearly 15,000 courses and specialisations. Building on last year’s success, Bangkit started its 2022 program in February, offering three learning paths to students:Cloud computing with Google Cloud, preparing students for the Google Associate Cloud Engineer certification. Some of the course components are also available online Mobile development with Android, preparing students for the Google Associate Android Developer exam. An online version is available here. Machine learning with Tensorflow, getting students ready to take the Tensorflow Developer certification. Some of the online courses are available here for others.Bangkit 2022 has enrolled 3,100 university students who will take a five month study course, obtaining university study credit, as well as industry certifications. The program accepts diverse cohorts of people who are passionate about preparing for a tech career in the near future, with support and encouragement for women, people with disabilities, and students from across Indonesia to apply. Since its pilot in 2019, Bangkit has been guided by three principles: Industry-led: provides curriculum and instructors from industry experts, including Google, GoTo and Traveloka. Instructors include key figures such as Laurence Moroney (Google, Lead AI Advocate), Google Developer Experts, and other committed professionals. Immersive: combines online learning methods conducted in both individual and group settings. Interdisciplinary: contains knowledge and best practices in tech, soft skills, and English to provide complete career readiness. The program runs from February to July 2022, and has a 900-hour curriculum throughout the 18-week learning experience. Benefits for students participating in Bangkit include:Study credit conversion Job opportunities at our career fairGoogle Cloud, TensorFlow and AAD exam vouchersIncubation funds and mentorship support from industryTowards the end of Bangkit 2022, students will team up for the Capstone Project challenge to propose solutions to some of the nation’s most pressing problems, such as environmentalism, accessibility, and more. The top 15 teams will be selected to receive funding to incubate their capstone projects. These education and career-preparedness offerings are provided at no cost.Google is partnering with industry, governments, universities, and employers to help meet the skill demands of today. From supporting the State of Ohio to offer tech skills to residents, to working with the University of Minnesota-Rochester to create a customized health sciences degree program, Google is here to help our partners prepare those they serve for a cloud-first world.

- Why IT leaders choose Google Cloud certification for their teamsby (Training & Certifications) on May 27, 2022 at 4:00 pm
As organizations worldwide move to the cloud, it’s become increasingly crucial to provide teams with confidence and the right skills to get the most out of cloud technology. With demand for cloud expertise exceeding the supply of talent, many businesses are looking for new, cost-effective ways to keep up.When ongoing skills gaps stifle productivity, it can cost you money. In Global Knowledge’s 2021 report, 42% of IT decision-makers reported having “difficulty meeting quality objectives” as a result of skills gaps, and, in an IDC survey cited in the same Global Knowledge report, roughly 60% of organizations described a lack of skills as a cause for lost revenue. In today’s fast-paced environment, businesses with cloud knowledge are in a stronger position to achieve more. So what more could you be doing to develop and showcase cloud expertise in your organization?Google Cloud certification helps validate your teams’ technical capabilities, while demonstrating your organization’s commitment to the fast pace of the cloud.What certification offers that experience doesn’t is peace of mind. I’m not only talking about self-confidence, but also for our customers. Having us certified, working on their projects, really gives them peace of mind that they’re working with a partner who knows what they’re doing. Niels Buekers, managing director at Fourcast BVBAWhy get your team Google Cloud certified?When you invest in cloud, you also want to invest in your people. Google Cloud certification equips your teams with the skills they need to fulfill your growing business. Speed up technology implementation Organizations want to speed up transformation and make the most of their cloud investment.Nearly 70% of partner organizations recognize that certifications speed up technology implementation and lead to greater staff productivity, according to a May 2021 IDC Software Partner Survey. The same report also found that 85% of partner IT consultants agree that “certification represents validation of extensive product and process knowledge.”Improve client satisfaction and successGetting your teams certified can be the first step to improving client satisfaction and success. Research of more than 600 IT consultants and resellers in a September 2021 IDC study found that “fully certified teams met 95% of their clients’ objectives, compared to a 36% lower average net promoter score for partially certified teams.”Motivate your team and retain talentIn today’s age of the ongoing Great Resignation, IT leaders are rightly concerned about employee attrition, which can result in stalled projects, unmet business objectives, and new or overextended team members needing time to ramp up. In other words, attrition hurts.But when IT leaders invest in skills development for their teams, talent tends to stick around. According to a business value paper from IDC, comprehensive training leads to 133% greater employee retention compared to untrained teams. When organizations help people develop skills, people stay longer, morale improves, and productivity increases. Organizations wind up with a classic win-win situation as business value accelerates. Finish your projects ahead of scheduleWith your employees feeling supported and well equipped to handle workloads, they can also stay engaged and innovate faster with Google Cloud certifications. “Fully certified teams are 35% more likely than partially certified teams to finish projects ahead of schedule, typically reaching their targets more than two weeks early,” according to research in an IDC InfoBrief.Certify your teamsGoogle Cloud certification is more than a seal of approval – it can be your framework to increase staff tenure, improve productivity, satisfy your customers, and obtain other key advantages to launch your organization into the future. Once you get your teams certified, they’ll join a trusted network of IT professionals in the Google Cloud certified community, with access to resources and continuous learning opportunities.To discover more about the value of certification for your team, download the IDC paper today and invite your teams to join our upcoming webinar and get started on their certification journey.Related ArticleHow to become a certified cloud professionalHow to become a certified cloud professionalRead Article

We live in a digital world, and the future of work is in the cloud. In fact, 61% of HR professionals believe hiring developers will be their biggest challenge in the years ahead.1During your personal cloud journey, it’s critical to build and validate your skills in order to evolve with the rapidly changing technology and business landscape.That is why we created skill badges - a micro-credential issued by Google Cloud to demonstrate your cloud competencies and your commitment to staying on top of the latest Google Cloud solutions and products. To better understand the value of skills badges to holders’ career goals, we commissioned a third-party research firm, Gallup, to conduct a global study on the impact of Google Cloud skill badges.

- How we’re keeping up with the increasing demand for the Google Workspace Administrator roleby (Training & Certifications) on April 29, 2022 at 4:00 pm
We’ve rebranded the Professional Collaboration Engineer Certification to the Professional Google Workspace Administrator Certification and updated the learning path. To mark the moment, we sat down with Erik Geerdink from SADA to talk about how the Google Workspace Administrator role and demand for this skill set has changed over the years. Erik is a Deployment Engineer and Pod Lead. He holds a Professional Google Workspace Administrator Certificationand has worked with Google Workspace for more than six years.What was it like starting out as a Google Workspace Administrator?When I first started, I was doing Google Workspace Support as a Level 2 Administrator. At that time, there were fewer admin controls for Google Workspace. There were calendar issues, some mail routing issues, maybe a little bit of data loss prevention (DLP), but that was about it.About 5 years ago, I transferred into Google Deployment and really got to see all that went on with deploying Google Workspace and troubleshooting advanced issues. Since then, what you can accomplish in the admin console has really taken off. There’s still Gmail and Calendar configurations, but the security posture that Google offers now—they’ve really upped their game. The extent of DLP isn’t just Gmail and Drive anymore; it extends into Chat. And we’re doing a lot of Context-Aware Access to make sure users only have as much access as IT compliance allows in our deployments. Calendar interop, which allows users in different systems to see availability, has been a big area of focus as well.How has the Google Workspace Administrator role changed over the last few years? It used to be that you were a systems admin who also took care of the Google portion as well. But with Google Workspace often being the entry point to Google Cloud, we’ve had to become more knowledgeable about the platform as a whole. Now, we not only do training with Google Workspace admins for our projects, we also talk to their Google Cloud counterparts as well.Google Workspace is changing all the time, and the weekly updates that Google sends out are great. As an engineering team, every week on Wednesday, we review each Google Workspace update that’s come out to understand how they affect us, our clients, and our upcoming projects. There’s a lot to it. It’s not just a little admin role anymore. It’s a strategic technology role.What motivated you to get Google Cloud Certified?I spent the first 15 years of my career doing cold server room roles, and I knew I had to get cloudy. I wanted to work with Google, and it was a no-brainer given the organization’s reputation for innovation. I knew this certification exam was the one to get me in the door. The Professional Google Workspace Administrator certification was required to level up as an administrator and to make sure our business kept getting the most out of Google Workspace. How has the demand for certified Google Workspace Admins changed recently? Demand has absolutely gone up. We are growing so much, and we need more professionals with this certification. It’s required for all of our new hires. When I see a candidate that already has the certification, they go to the top of the list. I’ll skip all the other resumes to find someone who has this experience. We’re searching globally—not just in North America—to find the right people to fill this strategic role.Explore the new learning pathIn order to keep up with the changing demands of this role, we’ve rebranded the Professional Collaboration Engineer Certification to the Professional Google Workspace Administrator Certification and updated the learning path. The learning path now aligns with the improved admin console. We’ve replaced the readings with videos for a better learning experience: in total, we added 17 new videos across 5 courses to match new features and functionality.

- Train your organization on Google Cloud Skills Boostby (Training & Certifications) on April 7, 2022 at 1:00 pm
Enterprises are moving to cloud computing at an accelerated pace, estimating that 85% of enterprises will adopt a cloud first principle by 2025 (Gartner®, Gartner says Cloud will be the Centerpiece of the New Digital Experience, Laurence Goasduff, November 10, 2021). There are countless reasons why enterprises are moving to the cloud - from reduced IT costs and increased scalability, to improved security and efficiency. However this rapid change has presented a challenge - how will organizations build the skills they need to accelerate cloud adoption within their organization? The answer is comprehensive training. We commissioned IDC in March 2022 , an independent market intelligence firm, to write a white paper that studied the impact of comprehensive training and certification on cloud adoption. When organizations are trained they see:Significantly greater improvement in top business priorities - 133% greater improvement on employee retention and 56% greater improvement in customer experience scoresAccelerated cloud adoption, reduced time to value, and greater ROI - trained organizations are 10X more likely to implement cloud in 2 yearsGreater performance improvements - in areas like leveraging data analytics, protecting data, and jumpstarting innovationIDC White Paper, sponsored by Google Cloud Learning: "To Maximize Your Cloud Benefits, Maximize Training" - Doc #US48867222, March 2022To learn more, download the white paper.Build Team Skills in Google Cloud Skills Boost Coupling the research above with our commitment to equip more than 40 million people with cloud skills, we are excited to provide business organizations with a comprehensive platform to help address their teams’ cloud skilling needs.

- Accelerating Government Compliance with Google Cloud’s Professional Service Organizationby (Training & Certifications) on March 21, 2022 at 5:00 pm
Did you know that by 2025, enterprise IT spending on public cloud computing will overtake traditional IT spending? In fact, 51% of IT spend in application software, infrastructure software, business process services, and system infrastructure will transition to the public cloud, compared to 41% in 20221.. As enterprises continue to rapidly shift to the cloud, government agencies must prioritize and accelerate security and compliance implementation. In May 2021, the White House issued an Executive Order requiring US Federal agencies to accelerate cloud adoption, embrace security best practices, develop plans to implement Zero Trust architectures, and map implementation frameworks to FedRAMP. The Administration’s focus on secure cloud adoption marks a critical shift to prioritizing cybersecurity at scale. Google Cloud’s Public Sector Professional Services Organization (PSO) has committed to helping customers meet security and compliance requirements in the cloud through specialized consulting engagements. Accelerating Authority to Operate (ATO)The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) was established in 2011 as a government-wide program that promotes the adoption of secure cloud services across the federal government. FedRAMP provides a standardized approach to security and risk assessment for cloud technologies and federal agencies. US Federal agencies are required to utilize and implement FedRAMP cloud service offerings as part of the “Cloud First” federal cloud computing strategy.While Google Cloud provides a FedRAMP-authorized cloud services platform and a robust catalog of FedRAMP-approved products and services (92 services and counting), customers are still tasked with achieving Agency ATO for the products and services they use, and Google Cloud provides many resources to assist customers with this journey. Google Cloud’s FedRAMP package can be accessed by completing the FedRAMP Package Access Request Form and submitting it to info@fedramp.gov. Additionally, customers can use Google’s NIST 800-53 ATO Accelerator as a starting point for documenting control implementation. Finally, Google Cloud’s Public Sector PSO offers the following strategic consulting engagements to help customers streamline the Agency ATO process.Cloud Discover: FedRAMP is a six-week interactive workshop to support customers that are just getting started with the ATO process on Google Cloud. Customers are educated on FedRAMP fundamentals, Google’s security and compliance posture, and how to approach ATO on Google Cloud. Through deep-dive interviews and design sessions, PSO helps customers craft an actionable ATO plan, assess FedRAMP readiness, and develop a conceptual ATO boundary. This engagement helps organizations establish a clear understanding and roadmap for FedRAMP ATO on Google Cloud.FedRAMP Security Review is a ten to twelve week engagement that aids customers in FedRAMP operational readiness. PSO consultants perform detailed FedRAMP architecture reviews to identify potential gaps in NIST 800-53 security control implementation and Google Cloud secure architecture best practices. Findings from the security reviews are shared with the customer along with configuration guidance and recommendations. This engagement helps organizations prepare for the third-party or independent security assessment that is required for FedRAMP ATO.Cloud Deploy: FedRAMP is a multi-month engagement designed to help customers document the details of their FedRAMP System Security Plan (SSP) and corresponding NIST 800-53 security controls, in preparation for Agency ATO on Google Cloud at FedRAMP Low, Moderate, or High. PSO collaborates with customers to develop a detailed technical infrastructure design document and security control matrix capturing evidence of the FedRAMP system architecture, security control implementation, data flows and system components. PSO can also partner with a third-party assessment organization (3PAO) or an independent assessor (IA) to support customer efforts for FedRAMP security assessment. This engagement helps customer system owners prepare for Agency ATO assessment and package submission.Developing a Zero Trust StrategyIn addition to providing FedRAMP enablement, Public Sector PSO has partnered with the Google Cloud Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) team to assist organizations with developing a zero trust architecture and strategy.Zero Trust Foundations is a seven-week engagement co-delivered by Google Cloud’s CISO and PSO teams. CISO and PSO educate customers on zero trust fundamentals, Google’s journey to zero trust through BeyondCorp, and defense in depth best practices. The CISO team walks customers through a Zero Trust Assessment (ZTA) to understand the organization’s current security posture and maturity. Insights from the ZTA enable the CISO team to work with the customer to identify an ideal first-mover workload for zero trust adoption. Following the CISO ZTA, PSO facilitates a deep-dive Zero Trust Workshop (ZTW), collaborating with key customer stakeholders to develop a NIST 800-207 aligned, cloud-agnostic zero trust architecture for the identified first-mover workload. The zero trust architecture is part of a comprehensive zero trust strategy deliverable that is based on focus areas called out in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Federal Zero Trust Strategy released January 2022. Scaling Secure Cloud Adoption with PSOPublic Sector PSO enables customer success by sharing our technical expertise, providing cloud strategy, implementation guidance, training and enablement using our proven methodology. As enterprise IT, operations, and organizational models continue to evolve, our goal is to help government agencies accelerate their security and compliance journeys in the cloud.

- Unified data and ML: 5 ways to use BigQuery and Vertex AI togetherby (Training & Certifications) on February 9, 2022 at 4:00 pm
Are you storing your data in BigQuery and interested in using that data to train and deploy models? Or maybe you’re already building ML workflows in Vertex AI, but looking to do more complex analysis of your model’s predictions? In this post, we’ll show you five integrations between Vertex AI and BigQuery, so you can store and ingest your data; build, train and deploy your ML models; and manage models at scale with built-in MLOps, all within one platform. Let’s get started!April 2022 update: You can now register and manage BigQuery ML models with Vertex AI Model Registry, a central repository to manage and govern the lifecycle of your ML models. This enables you to easily deploy your BigQuery ML models to Vertex AI for real time predictions. Learn more in this video about “ML Ops in BigQuery using Vertex AI.”Import BigQuery data into Vertex AIIf you’re using Google Cloud, chances are you have some data stored in BigQuery. When you’re ready to use this data to train a machine learning model, you can upload your BigQuery data directly into Vertex AI with a few steps in the console:You can also do this with the Vertex AI SDK:code_block[StructValue([(u'code', u'from google.cloud import aiplatform\r\n\r\ndataset = aiplatform.TabularDataset.create(\r\n display_name="my-tabular-dataset",\r\n bq_source="bq://project.dataset.table_name",\r\n)'), (u'language', u''), (u'caption', <wagtail.wagtailcore.rich_text.RichText object at 0x3e9243ef0290>)])]Notice that you didn’t need to export our BigQuery data and re-import it into Vertex AI. Thanks to this integration, you can seamlessly connect your BigQuery data to Vertex AI without moving your data from the cloud.Access BigQuery public datasets This dataset integration between Vertex AI and BigQuery means that in addition to connecting your company’s own BigQuery datasets to Vertex AI, you can also utilize the 200+ publicly available datasets in BigQuery to train your own ML models. BigQuery’s public datasets cover a range of topics, including geographic, census, weather, sports, programming, healthcare, news, and more. You can use this data on its own to experiment with training models in Vertex AI, or to augment your existing data. For example, maybe you’re building a demand forecasting model and find that weather impacts demand for your product; you can join BigQuery’s public weather dataset with your organization’s sales data to train your forecasting model in Vertex AI.Below, you’ll see an example of importing the public weather data from last year to train a weather forecasting model:Accessing BigQuery data from Vertex AI Workbench notebooksData scientists often work in a notebook environment to do exploratory data analysis, create visualizations, and perform feature engineering. Within a managed Workbench notebook instance in Vertex AI, you can directly access your BigQuery data with a SQL query, or download it as a Pandas Dataframe for analysis in Python.Below, you’ll see how you can run a SQL query on a public London bikeshare dataset, then download the results of that query as a Pandas Dataframe to use in my notebook:Analyze test prediction data in BigQueryThat covers how to use BigQuery data for training models in Vertex AI. Next, we’ll look at integrations between Vertex AI and BigQuery for exporting model predictions. When you train a model in Vertex AI using AutoML, Vertex AI will split your data into training, test, and validation sets, and evaluate how your model performs on the test data. You also have the option to export your model’s test predictions to BigQuery so you can analyze them in more detail:Then, when training completes, you can examine your test data and run queries on test predictions. This can help determine areas where your model didn’t perform as well, so you can take steps to improve your data next time you train your model.Export Vertex AI batch prediction resultsWhen you have a trained model that you’re ready to use in production, there are a few options for getting predictions on that model with Vertex AI:Deploy your model to an endpoint for online predictionExport your model assets for on-device predictionRun a batch prediction job on your modelFor cases in which you have a large number of examples you’d like to send to your model for prediction, and in which latency is less of a concern, batch prediction is a great choice. When creating a batch prediction in Vertex AI, you can specify a BigQuery table as the source and destination for your prediction job: this means you’ll have one BigQuery table with the input data you want to get predictions on, and Vertex AI will write the results of your predictions to a separate BigQuery table.With these integrations, you can access BigQuery data, and build and train models. From there Vertex AI helps you:Take these models into production Automate the repeatability of your model with managed pipelines Manage your models performance and reliability over timeTrack lineage and artifacts of your models for easy-to-manage governance Apply explainability to evaluate feature attributions What’s Next?Ready to start using your BigQuery data for model training and prediction in Vertex AI?

- Let’s have a chat about using dumpsby /u/whooyeah (Microsoft Azure Certifications) on January 31, 2022 at 9:49 pm
This keeps coming up recently so it’s important we have a sticky chat about it that everyone can see. Dumps are essentially cheating. They go against what the exams were designed to do in teaching you azure skills. For this reason they are also against the terms of service from Microsoft for taking the exam. It’s annoying as a professional because you will be in a job interview and hear the hiring manager say things like “MCP exams are worthless because everyone just uses dumps”. Which is heart breaking when you have spent so much time studying the subject knowledge and validating your skills with the exam. As a hiring manager it is annoying because I’ve interviewed candidates in the past with an MCSD and it was clear they had no usable information because they cheated with dumps. You will notice in the side bar rule 1. Breaking this will result in a ban. submitted by /u/whooyeah [link] [comments]

- Technical Training Made Easy and Accessible, the Google Cloud wayby (Training & Certifications) on January 14, 2022 at 12:40 pm
Cloud engineers face a constant barrage of new cloud services, products, and innovations. By late 2021, Google Cloud alone had released thousands of new features across hundreds of services. Couple this with other technologies and service releases, and it quickly becomes a herculean task for engineers to navigate, consume, and stay current on the ever changing technology landscape. We have heard from engineers this often leads to anxiety and frustration as engineers struggle to keep up. They are faced with a plethora of training options but often lack the time and funding. Google Cloud has reinvigorated technical training to make it more informative and applicable to public sector customers and partners. We aim to maximize your training experience so you can get targeted training when you need it. The Google Cloud Public Sector Technical Learning Series addresses customer feedback and provides fun and practical training. Sessions are currently running every two weeks. “Short and sweet” technical topics geared to subjects you care aboutGeneric training doesn't always resonate with public sector technologists. Our new curriculum targets specific public sector use cases, is delivered by customer engineers, and can be accomplished in less than two hours. This means participants can apply the learnings directly to real-life challenges quickly. Easy to find, easy to enroll Training opportunities should always be at your fingertips. Our automated training platform will ensure that you only need to enroll once. The system will automatically notify you of upcoming sessions so you can plan in advance and at your convenience. Sessions will be offered on a recurring basis to meet the needs of your organization.Fun and engagingTypical training sessions often include a sea of glazed eyes, unresponsive to basic prompts, falling asleep at our desks, we have all been there. But it doesn't have to be this way. Our goal is to infuse Google culture into our training through interactive exchanges and tangible rewards to keep participants inspired and engaged.Traditional technology training doesn’t always help you navigate the nuts and bolts of how to effectively introduce a product into an organization. But we know that technology doesn’t operate in isolation; it supports and becomes part of a living organism, managed by humans and confined by other components of an organization’s structure (e.g. existing systems or decentralized business units). Part of a larger community of like-minded engineersLearning with - and from - a community of peers is one way to overcome the challenges and complexities of applying new technology within a complex organization. We created the Public Sector Connect community for this very reason. It is one example of how we surface best practices for public sector innovators. During weekly “Coffee Hours” and working sessions, our community members share their journey and lessons learned with each other. We know that innovation evolves through iteration and diverse perspectives, and Public Sector Connect is committed to helping surface critical challenges and solutions, and connecting those who are solving similar problems. Join the community today.

- Google Cloud doubles-down on ecosystem in 2022 to meet customer demandby (Training & Certifications) on January 11, 2022 at 3:00 pm
Google Cloud has been a partner-focused business from day one. As we reflect on 2021 and look forward to what’s ahead, I want to say “thank you” to our ecosystem for all of the amazing innovations and services you provided our mutual customers over the last year. In 2021, we faced unprecedented demand from businesses as they turned to the cloud to digitally transform their organizations. This surge in cloud deployments meant we increasingly turned to our ecosystem to help customers create customized implementations with our systems integrators (SIs), build packaged solutions with our independent software vendors (ISVs), or coach employees how to best use new cloud technologies with our consulting and training firms.To continue meeting growing customer demand in 2022 and beyond, I am pleased to share that we are bringing together our ecosystem and channel sales teams into a single partner organization to bring a more streamlined go-to-market approach for our partners and customers. In support of this change, we plan to more than double our spend in support of our partner ecosystem over the next few years, including rolling out increased co-innovation resources for partners, more incentives and co-marketing funds, and a larger commitment to training and enablement—all with a goal of continuing our joint momentum in the market.Providing leads and new go-to-market programs for consulting partnersThe need for highly-skilled partners to accelerate digital transformation for customers has never been greater, and our ecosystem of services partners continues to gain tremendous opportunities to deliver high-value implementation and professional services, industry solutions, and digital transformation expertise. In 2022, we are investing in our SIs by:Moving to a partner-led, partner-delivered approach for professional services needed by our customers, particularly through expanded work with partners. This will include new programs for lead generation and lead sharing with our SI partners.Increasing our investment with SIs in deploying go-to-market programs for industry-specific SI solutions, as well as creating more pre-integrated industry ISV and Google Cloud AI solutions together with our SI partners.Accelerating critical training, specialization, and certification programs in support of our goal of training 40 million new people on Google Cloud. This includes new programs for experienced practitioners, and a hybrid learning modality that combines online and in-person learning supported by Google mentors. Accelerating growth for ISV partners with more resourcesIn 2021, our ISV partners helped build unique integrations with Google Cloud capabilities in AI, ML, data, analytics, and security for our mutual customers. In fact, our marketplace third-party transaction value was up more than 500% YoY from 2020 (Q1-Q3). In 2022, we are deepening our commitment to our ISV partners’ success by:Making significant investments in new Google Cloud Marketplace functionality, including adding new technical resources that will help accelerate how ISVs distribute their apps and solutions. Coupled with this, we’re also lowering the Marketplace rate to 3% for eligible solutions, helping drive more adoption with customers. Expanding our regional sales and technical teams who are dedicated to supporting ISVs, and at the same time increasing market development funds (MDF) to drive further sales growth for our ISVs.Dedicating additional technical resources to help ISVs move to more modern SaaS delivery models, as well as to optimize and supercharge their apps for their customers by leveraging Google Cloud technologies.Creating new monetization models for ISVs using Google Distributed Cloud to deliver products across hybrid environments, multiple clouds, and at the network edge. ISVs will be able to build industry-specific 5G and edge solutions leveraging our ecosystem of telecommunication providers and 140+ Google network edge locations.Increasing funds for ISVs to accelerate customer cloud migrations by offsetting infrastructure costs during migration (ISV Cloud Acceleration Program).Launching new program incentives to drive a thriving channelSince the launch of our Partner Advantage program, we have increased funds for our channel partners tenfold. In 2021, to extend this momentum, we expanded our incentive portfolio for resellers to support their long-term growth and profitability. In 2022, we are increasing our investment in partner programs even further, including:Significantly expanding incentives to reward partners who source and grow customer engagements, and for those who deliver exceptional customer experiences and critical implementation services.Evolving to industry-standard compensation plans for our direct sellers, and rewarding our channel partners for implementation (vs. reselling) for larger enterprise customers.Significantly increasing co-marketing funding for our channel partners to accelerate demand generation and time-to-close.Growing our learning resources, including launching more than 10 new Expertises and Specializations, and expanding our certification programs for partners to deliver the highest levels of Google Cloud expertise to customers.Launching a new program for resellers to support customers via offerings on the Google Cloud Marketplace.Sharing a toolkit to bring the best of Google’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) resources to our ecosystem of partners, including programs to develop inclusive marketing strategies and deploy DEI training within their own organizations.As we kick off 2022, it’s clear that the trend of digital transformation will only continue to drive customer demand for the cloud and, more importantly, a need for services, support, and solutions from our partners. We believe that by centralizing our partner groups into a single organization and by more than doubling our spend in support of our partner ecosystem over the next few years, we will help accelerate our joint momentum in the market around the world. For more information on these new programs and resources, please reach out to your Partner Account Manager or login to your Partner Advantage portal at partneradvantage.goog.
- Are you a multicloud engineer yet? The case for building skills on more than one cloudby (Training & Certifications) on January 7, 2022 at 5:00 pm
Over the past few months, I made the choice to move from the AWS ecosystem to Google Cloud — both great clouds! — and I think it’s made me a stronger, more well-rounded technologist.But I’m just one data point in a big trend. Multicloud is an inevitability in medium-to-large organizations at this point, as I and others have been saying for awhile now. As IT footprints get more complex, you should expect to see a broader range of cloud provider requirements showing up where you work and interview. Ready or not, multicloud is happening.In fact, Hashicorp’s recent State of Cloud Strategy Survey found 76% of employers are already using multiple clouds in some fashion, with more than 50% flagging lack of skills among their employees as a top challenge to survival in the cloud.That spells opportunity for you as an engineer. But with limited time and bandwidth, where do you place your bets to ensure that you’re staying competitive in this ever-cloudier world?You could pick one cloud to get good at and stick with it; that’s a perfectly valid career bet. (And if you do bet your career on one cloud, you should totally pick Google Cloud! I have reasons!) But in this post I’m arguing that expanding your scope of professional fluency to at least two of the three major US cloud providers (Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft Azure) opens up some unique, future-optimized career options.What do I mean by ‘multicloud fluency’? For the sake of this discussion, I’m defining “multicloud fluency” as a level of familiarity with each cloud that would enable you to, say, pass the flagship professional-level certification offered by that cloud provider–for example, Google Cloud’s Professional Cloud Architect certification or AWS’s Certified Solutions Architect Professional. Notably, I am not saying that multicloud fluency implies experience maintaining production workloads on more than one cloud, and I’ll clarify why in a minute.How does multicloud fluency make you a better cloud engineer?I asked the cloud community on Twitter to give me some examples of how knowledge of multiple clouds has helped their careers, and dozens of engineers responded with a great discussion.Turns out that even if you never incorporate services from multiple clouds in the same project — and many people don’t! — there’s still value in understanding how the other cloud lives.Learning the lingua franca of cloudI like this framing of the different cloud providers as “Romance languages” — as with human languages in the same family tree, clouds share many of the same conceptual building blocks. Adults learn primarily by analogy to things we’ve already encountered. Just as learning one programming language makes it easier to learn more, learning one cloud reduces your ramp-up time on others.More than just helping you absorb new information faster, understanding the strengths and tradeoffs of different cloud providers can help you make the best choice of services and architectures for new projects. I actually remember struggling with this at times when I worked for a consulting shop that focused exclusively on AWS. A client would ask “What if we did this on Azure?” and I really didn’t have the context to be sure. But if you have a solid foundational understanding of the landscape across the major providers, you can feel confident — and inspire confidence! — in your technical choices.Becoming a unicornTo be clear, this level of awareness isn’t common among engineering talent. That’s why people with multicloud chops are often considered “unicorns'' in the hiring market. Want to stand out in 2022? Show that you’re conversant in more than just one cloud. At the very least, it expands the market for your skills to include companies that focus on each of the clouds you know.Taking that idea to its extreme, some of the biggest advocates for the value of a multicloud resumé are consultants, which makes sense given that they often work on different clouds depending on the client project of the week. Lynn Langit, an independent consultant and one of the cloud technologists I most respect, estimates that she spends about 40% of her consulting time on Google Cloud, 40% on AWS, and 20% on Azure. Fluency across providers lets her select the engagements that are most interesting to her and allows her to recommend the technology that provides the greatest value.But don’t get me wrong: multicloud skills can also be great for your career progression if you work on an in-house engineering team. As companies’ cloud posture becomes more complex, they need technical leaders and decision-makers who comprehend their full cloud footprint. Want to become a principal engineer or engineering manager at a mid-to-large-sized enterprise or growing startup? Those roles require an organization-wide understanding of your technology landscape, and that’s probably going to include services from more than one cloud. How to multicloud-ify your careerWe’ve established that some familiarity with multiple clouds expands your career options. But learning one cloud can seem daunting enough, especially if it’s not part of your current day job. How do you chart a multicloud career path that doesn’t end with you spreading yourself too thin to be effective at anything?Get good at the core conceptsYes, all the clouds are different. But they share many of the same basic approaches to IAM, virtual networking, high availability, and more. These are portable fundamentals that you can move between clouds as needed. If you’re new to cloud, an associate-level solutions architect certification will help you cover the basics. Make sure to do hands-on labs to help make the concepts real, though — we learn much more by doing than by reading.Go deep on your primary cloudFundamentals aside, it’s really important that you have a native level of fluency in one cloud provider. You may have the opportunity to pick up multicloud skills on the job, but to get a cloud engineering role you’re almost certainly going to need to show significant expertise on a specific cloud.Note: If you’re brand new to cloud and not sure which provider to start with, my biased (but informed) recommendation is to give Google Cloud a try. It has a free tier that won’t bill you until you give permission, and the nifty project structure makes it really easy to spin up and tear down different test environments.It’s worth noting that engineering teams specialize, too; everybody has loose ends, but they’ll often try to standardize on one cloud provider as much as they can. If you work on such a team, take advantage of the opportunity to get as much hands-on experience with their preferred cloud as possible.Go broad on your secondary cloudYou may have heard of the concept of T-shaped skills. A well-rounded developer is broadly familiar with a range of relevant technologies (the horizontal part of the “T”), and an expert in a deep, specific niche. You can think of your skills on your primary cloud provider as the deep part of your “T”. (Actually, let’s be real — even a single cloud has too many services for any one person to hold in their heads at an expert level. Your niche is likely to be a subset of your primary cloud’s services: say, security or data.)We could put this a different way: build on your primary cloud, get certified on your secondary. This gives you hirable expertise on your “native” cloud and situational awareness of the rest of the market. As opportunities come up to build on that secondary cloud, you’ll be ready.I should add that several people have emphasized to me that they sense diminishing returns when keeping up with more than one secondary cloud. At some point the cognitive switching gets overwhelming and the additional learning doesn’t add much value. Perhaps the sweet spot looks like this: 1< 2 > 3.Bet on cloud-native services and multicloud toolingThe whole point of building on the cloud is to take advantage of what the cloud does best — and usually that means leveraging powerful, native managed services like Spanner and Vertex AI. On the other hand, the cloud ecosystem has now matured to the point where fantastic, open-source multicloud management tooling for wrangling those provider-specific services is readily available. (Doing containers on cloud? Probably using Kubernetes! Looking for a DevOps role? The team is probably looking for Terraform expertise no matter what cloud they major on.)

How do I set up Failover on Amazon AWS Route53?

How can a program running inside AWS EC2 determine which VPC and security group an incoming IP address or TCP connection belongs to, for application-layer firewalling?
I assume it is your subscription where the VPCs are located, otherwise you can’t really discover the information you are looking for. On the EC2 server you could use AWS CLI or Powershell based scripts that query the IP information. Based on IP you can find out what instance uses the network interface, what security groups are tied to it and in which VPC the instance is hosted. Read more here… -
What are some tips, tricks and gotchas when using AWS Lambda to connect to a VPC?
When using AWS Lambda inside your VPC, your Lambda function will be allocated private IP addresses, and only private IP addresses, from your specified subnets. This means that you must ensure that your specified subnets have enough free address space for your Lambda function to scale up to. Each simultaneous invocation needs its own IP. Read more here…
How do AWS step functions communicate with lambda functions which are in a VPC?
When a Lambda “is in a VPC”, it really means that its attached Elastic Network Interface is the customer’s VPC and not the hidden VPC that AWS manages for Lambda.
The ENI is not related to the AWS Lambda management system that does the invocation (the data plane mentioned here). The AWS Step Function system can go ahead and invoke the Lambda through the API, and the network request for that can pass through the underlying VPC and host infrastructure.
Those Lambdas in turn can invoke other Lambda directly through the API, or more commonly by decoupling them, such as through Amazon SQS used as a trigger. Read more ….
How do I invoke an AWS Lambda function programmatically?
public InvokeResult invoke(InvokeRequest request)
Invokes a Lambda function. You can invoke a function synchronously (and wait for the response), or asynchronously. To invoke a function asynchronously, set InvocationType
to Event
.
For synchronous invocation, details about the function response, including errors, are included in the response body and headers. For either invocation type, you can find more information in the execution log and trace.
When an error occurs, your function may be invoked multiple times. Retry behavior varies by error type, client, event source, and invocation type. For example, if you invoke a function asynchronously and it returns an error, Lambda executes the function up to two more times. For more information, see Retry Behavior.
For asynchronous invocation, Lambda adds events to a queue before sending them to your function. If your function does not have enough capacity to keep up with the queue, events may be lost. Occasionally, your function may receive the same event multiple times, even if no error occurs. To retain events that were not processed, configure your function with a dead-letter queue.
The status code in the API response doesn’t reflect function errors. Error codes are reserved for errors that prevent your function from executing, such as permissions errors, limit errors, or issues with your function’s code and configuration. For example, Lambda returns TooManyRequestsException
if executing the function would cause you to exceed a concurrency limit at either the account level ( Concurrent Invocation Limit Exceeded
) or function level ( Reserved Function Concurrent Invocation LimitExceeded
).
For functions with a long timeout, your client might be disconnected during synchronous invocation while it waits for a response. Configure your HTTP client, SDK, firewall, proxy, or operating system to allow for long connections with timeout or keep-alive settings.
This operation requires permission for the lambda:InvokeFunction action. Read more…
What are the differences between default and non-default AWS VPCs?
Default VPC
- 1 per region
- a set VPC CIDR range … you can’t changed it
- has everything configured by default .. 1 subnet per AZ, an internet gateway, routes and subnets set to allocate IPv4 by default.
Custom VPCs
- As any as you want per region (within limits)
- Customisable CIDR range
- Customisable subnet structure
- Nothing configured by default, you have to configure everything
The subnet mask determines how many bits of the network address are relevant (and thus indirectly the size of the network block in terms of how many host addresses are available) –
192.0.2.0, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 means that 192.0.2 is the significant portion of the network number, and that there 8 bits left for host addresses (i.e. 192.0.2.0 thru 192.0.2.255)
192.0.2.0, subnet mask 255.255.255.128 means that 192.0.2.0 is the significant portion of the network number (first three octets and the most significant bit of the last octet), and that there 7 bits left for host addresses (i.e. 192.0.2.0 thru 192.0.2.127)
When in doubt, envision the network number and subnet mask in base 2 (i.e. binary) and it will become much clearer. Read more here…
What are some best practices securing my Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)?
IAM is the new perimeter.
Separate out the roles needed to do each job. (Assuming this is a corporate environment)
Have a role for EC2, another for Networking, another for IAM.
Everyone should not be admin. Everyone should not be able to add/remove IGW’s, NAT gateways, alter security groups and NACLS, or setup peering connections.
Also, another thing… lock down full internet access. Limit to what is needed and that’s it. Read more here….
Within a single VPC, the subnets’ route tables need to point to each other. This will already work without additional routes because VPC sets up the local
target to point to the VPC subnet.
Security groups are not used here since they are attached to instances, and not networks.
See: Amazon Virtual Private Cloud
The NAT EC2 instance (server), or AWS-provided NAT gateway is necessary only if the private subnet internal addresses need to make outbound connections. The NAT will translate the private subnet internal addresses to the public subnet internal addresses, and the AWS VPC Internet Gateway will translate these to external IP addresses, which can then go out to the Internet. Read more here ….
What are the applications (or workloads) that cannot be migrated on to cloud (AWS or Azure or GCP)?
A good example of workloads that currently are not in public clouds are mobile and fixed core telecom networks for tier 1 service providers. This is despite the fact that these core networks are increasingly software based and have largely been decoupled from the hardware. There are a number of reasons for this such as the public cloud providers such as Azure and AWS do not offer the guaranteed availability required by telecom networks. These networks require 99.999% availability and is typically referred to as telecom grade.
The regulatory environment frequently restricts hosting of subscriber data outside the of the operators data centers or in another country and key network functions such as lawful interception cannot contractually be hosted off-prem. Read more here….
How many CIDRs can we add to my own created VPC?
You can add up to 5 IPv4 CIDR blocks, or 1 IPv6 block per VPC. You can further segment the network by utilizing up to 200 subnets per VPC. Amazon VPC Limits. Read more …
Why can’t a subnet’s CIDR be changed once it has been assigned?
Sure it can, but you’ll need to coordinate with the neighbors. You can merge two /25’s into a single /24 quite effortlessly if you control the entire range it covers. In practice you’ll see many tiny allocations in public IPv4 space, like /29’s and even smaller. Those are all assigned to different people. If you want to do a big shuffle there, you have a lot of coordinating to do.. or accept the fallout from the breakage you cause. Read more…

What questions to expect in cloud support engineer deployment roles at AWS?
Cloud Support Engineer (CSE) is a role which requires the following abilities:
- Wide range of technical skills
- Good communication and time management
- Good knowledge about the AWS services, and how to leverage them to solve simple to complex problems.
As your question is related to the deployment Pod, you will probably be asked about deployment methods (A/B testing like blue-green deployment) as well as pipelining strategies. You might be asked during this interview to reason about a simple task and to code it (like parsing a log file). Also review the TCP/IP stack in-depth as well as the tools to troubleshoot it for the networking round. You will eventually have some Linux questions, the range of questions can vary from common CLI tools to Linux internals like signals / syscalls / file descriptors and so on.
Last but not least the Leadership principles, I can only suggest you to prepare a story for each of them. You will quickly find what LP they are looking for and would be able to give the right signal to your interviewer.
Finally, remember that theres a debrief after the (usually 5) stages of your on site interview, and more senior and convincing interviewers tend to defend their vote so don’t screw up with them.
Be natural, focus on the question details and ask for confirmation, be cool but not too much. At the end of the day, remember that your job will be to understand customer issues and provide a solution, so treat your interviewers as if they were customers and they will see a successful CSE in you, be reassured and give you the job.
Expect questions on cloudformations, Teraform, Aws ec2/rds and stack related questions.
Its a high tech call center. You are expected to take calls, chats of customers and give them technical advice. You will not be doing any of the cool stuff you did earlier (if you are coming from engineering job or DBA). You will surely gain a very good knowledge of multiple AWS services and the one that you will be hired in, however most of the knowledge will be theoretical and nothing practical in day-to-day life.
It also depends on the support team you are being hired for. Networking or compute teams (Ec2) have different interview patterns vs database or big data support.
In any case, basics of OS, networking are critical to the interview. If you have a phone screen, we will be looking for basic/semi advance skills of these and your speciality. For example if you mention Oracle in your resume and you are interviewing for the database team, expect a flurry of those questions.
Other important aspect is the Amazon leadership principles. Half of your interview is based on LPs. If you fail to have scenarios where you do not demonstrate our LPs, you cannot expect to work here even though your technical skills are above average (Having extraordinary skills is a different thing).
The overall interview itself will have 1 phone screen if you are interviewing in the US and 1–2 if outside US. The onsite loop will be 4 rounds , 2 of which are technical (again divided into OS and networking and the specific speciality of the team you are interviewing for ) and 2 of them are leadership principles where we test your soft skills and management skills as they are very important in this job. You need to have a strong view point, disagree if it seems valid to do so, empathy and be a team player while showing the ability to pull off things individually as well. These skills will be critical for cracking LP interviews.
You will NOT be asked to code or write queries as its not part of the job, so you can concentrate on the theoretical part of the subject and also your resume. We will grill you on topics mentioned on your resume to start with.
Traditional monolithic architectures are hard to scale: TRUE
Monolithic architecture is something that build from single piece of material, historically from rock. Monolith term normally use for object made from single large piece of material.” – Non-Technical Definition. “Monolithic application has single code base with multiple modules.
Large Monolithic code-base (often spaghetti code) puts immense cognitive complexity on the developer’s head. As a result, the development velocity is poor. Granular scaling (i.e., scaling part of the application) is not possible. Polyglot programming or polyglot database is challenging.
Drawbacks of Monolithic Architecture
This simple approach has a limitation in size and complexity. Application is too large and complex to fully understand and made changes fast and correctly. The size of the application can slow down the start-up time. You must redeploy the entire application on each update.
18. Sticky Sessions help increase your application’s scability: FALSE
Sticky sessions, also known as session affinity, allow you to route a site user to the particular web server that is managing that individual user’s session. The session’s validity can be determined by a number of methods, including a client-side cookies or via configurable duration parameters that can be set at the load balancer which routes requests to the web servers.
Some advantages with utilizing sticky sessions are that it’s cost effective due to the fact you are storing sessions on the same web servers running your applications and that retrieval of those sessions is generally fast because it eliminates network latency. A drawback for using storing sessions on an individual node is that in the event of a failure, you are likely to lose the sessions that were resident on the failed node. In addition, in the event the number of your web servers change, for example a scale-up scenario, it’s possible that the traffic may be unequally spread across the web servers as active sessions may exist on particular servers. If not mitigated properly, this can hinder the scalability of your applications. Read more here …
AWS recommends replicating across Availability Zones for resiliency: TRUE
If you need to replicate your data or applications in an AWS Local Zone, AWS recommends that you use one of the following zones as the failover zone:
-
Another Local Zone
-
An Availability Zone in the Region that is not the parent zone. You can use the describe-availability-zones command to view the parent zone.
For more information about AWS Regions and Availability Zones, see AWS Global Infrastructure.
What are the benefits of AWS Cloud Computing?
- Trade Capital expenses for variable expenses
- Increase speed and agility
- Benefit from massive economies at scale
- Stop spending money on running and maintaining data centers
- Stop guessing capacity
- Go global in minutes
What is the default behavior for an EC2 instance when terminated?
After you terminate an instance, it remains visible in the console for a short while, and then the entry is automatically deleted. You cannot delete the terminated instance entry yourself. After an instance is terminated, resources such as tags and volumes are gradually disassociated from the instance, therefore may no longer be visible on the terminated instance after a short while.
When an instance terminates, the data on any instance store volumes associated with that instance is deleted.
By default, Amazon EBS root device volumes are automatically deleted when the instance terminates. However, by default, any additional EBS volumes that you attach at launch, or any EBS volumes that you attach to an existing instance persist even after the instance terminates. This behavior is controlled by the volume’s DeleteOnTermination
attribute, which you can modify
For more information, please visit: Terminate Your Instance
How do Amazon EC2 EBS burst credits work?
The documentation on General Purpose SSD (gp2) EBS volumes can be found at this page: New SSD-Backed Elastic Block Storage
When you first launch an instance with gp2 volumes attached, you get an initial burst credit allowing for up to 30 minutes of 3,000 iops/sec.
After the first 30 minutes, your volume will accrue credits as follows (taken directly from AWS documentation):
Within the General Purpose (SSD) implementation is a Token Bucket model that works as follows
- Each token represents an “I/O credit” that pays for one read or one write.
- A bucket is associated with each General Purpose (SSD) volume, and can hold up to 5.4 million tokens.
- Tokens accumulate at a rate of 3 per configured GB per second, up to the capacity of the bucket.
- Tokens can be spent at up to 3000 per second per volume.
- The baseline performance of the volume is equal to the rate at which tokens are accumulated — 3 IOPS per GB per second.
In addition to this, gp2 volumes provide baseline performance of 3 iops per Gb, up to 1Tb (3000 iops). Volumes larger than 1Tb no longer work on the credit system, as they already provide a baseline of 3000 iops. Gp2 volumes have a cap of 10,000 iops regardless of the volume size (so the iops max out for volumes larger than 3.3Tb)
Is elastic IP service free if we associate it with any VM (EC2 server)?
Elastic IP addresses are free when you have them assigned to an instance, feel free to use one! Elastic IPs get disassociated when you stop an instance, so you will get charged in the mean time. The benefit is that you get to keep that IP allocated to your account though, instead of losing it like any other. Once you start the instance you just re-associate it back and you have your old IP again.
Here are the changes associated with the use of Elastic IP addresses
No cost for Elastic IP addresses while in use
* $0.01 per non-attached Elastic IP address per complete hour
* $0.00 per Elastic IP address remap – first 100 remaps / month
* $0.10 per Elastic IP address remap – additional remap / month over 100
If you require any additional information about pricing please reference the link below
Amazon EC2 Pricing – Amazon Web Services
The other cost are as outlined in the paragraph you have quoted.
How do I reduce my AWS EC2 cost? My AWS EC2 expenditure comprises 80% of my AWS bill.
The short answer to reducing your AWS EC2 costs – turn off your instances when you don’t need them.
Your AWS bill is just like any other utility bill, you get charged for however much you used that month. Don’t make the mistake of leaving your instances on 24/7 if you’re only using them during certain days and times (ex. Monday – Friday, 9 to 5).
To automatically start and stop your instances, AWS offers an “EC2 scheduler” solution. A better option would be a cloud cost management tool that not only stops and starts your instances automatically, but also tracks your usage and makes sizing recommendations to optimize your cloud costs and maximize your time and savings.
You could potentially save money using Reserved Instances. But, in non-production environments such as dev, test, QA, and training, Reserved Instances are not your best bet. Why is this the case? These environments are less predictable; you may not know how many instances you need and when you will need them, so it’s better to not waste spend on these usage charges. Instead, schedule such instances (preferably using ParkMyCloud). Scheduling instances to be only up 12 hours per day on weekdays will save you 65% – better than all but the most restrictive 3-year RIs!
You can also save money with:
- Spot Instances
- AWS Dedicated Hosts & Dedicated Instances
- Auto Scaling Groups
- Rightsizing
What is the difference between an Instance, AMI and Snaphots in AWS? What are they used for?
Well AWS is a web service provider which offers a set of services related to compute, storage, database, network and more to help the business scale and grow
All your concerns are related to AWS EC2 instance, so let me start with an instance
Instance:
- An EC2 instance is similar to a server where you can host your websites or applications to make it available Globally
- It is highly scalable and works on the pay-as-you-go model
- You can increase or decrease the capacity of these instances as per the requirement
AMI:
- AMI provides the information required to launch the EC2 instance
- AMI includes the pre-configured templates of the operating system that runs on the AWS
- Users can launch multiple instances with the same configuration from a single AMI
Snapshot:
- Snapshots are the incremental backups for the Amazon EBS
- Data in the EBS are stored in S3 by taking point-to-time snapshots
- Unique data are only deleted when a snapshot is deleted
- Multiple EBS can be created using these snapshots
What are the main differences between a VPNs, VPS and VPC?
They are definitely all chalk and cheese to one another.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is essentially an encrypted “channel” connecting two networks, or a machine to a network, generally over the public internet.
A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a rented virtual machine running on someone else’s hardware. AWS EC2 can be thought of as a VPS, but the term is usually used to describe low-cost products offered by lots of other hosting companies.
A VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) is a virtual network in AWS (Amazon Web Services). It can be divided into private and public subnets, have custom routing rules, have internal connections to other VPCs, etc. EC2 instances and other resources are placed in VPCs similarly to how physical data centers have operated for a very long time.
AWS CCP CLF-C01 on Android – AWS CCP CLF-C01 on iOS – AWS CCP CLF-C01 on Windows 10/11
What is the use of elastic IP in AWS?
Elastic IP address is basically the static IP (IPv4) address that you can allocate to your resources.
Now, in case that you allocate IP to the resource (and the resource is running), you are not charged anything. On the other hand, if you create Elastic IP, but you do not allocate it to the resource (or the resource is not running), then you are charged some amount (should be around $0.005 per hour if I remember correctly)
Additional info about these:
You are limited to 5 Elastic IP addresses per region. If you require more than that, you can contact AWS support with a request for additional addresses. You need to have a good reason in order to be approved because IPv4 addresses are becoming a scarce resource.
In general, you should be good without Elastic IPs for most of the use-cases (as every EC2 instance has its own public IP, and you can use load balancers, as well as map most of the resources via Route 53).
One of the use-cases that I’ve seen where my client is using Elastic IP is to make it easier for him to access specific EC2 instance via RDP, as well as do deployment through Visual Studio, as he targets the Elastic IP, and thus does not have to watch for any changes in public IP (in case of stopping or rebooting).
Why would you choose not to use AWS Transit Gateway instead of VPC peering?
At this time, AWS Transit Gateway does not support inter region attachments. The transit gateway and the attached VPCs must be in the same region. VPC peering supports inter region peering.
Difference between AWS Workspace and AWS Ec2 VM?
- The EC2 instance is server instance whilst a Workspace is windows desktop instance
-
Both Windows Server and Windows workstation editions have desktops. Windows Server Core doesn’t not (and AWS doesn’t have an AMI for Windows Server Core that I could find).
-
It is possible to SSH into a Windows instance – this is done on port 22. You would not see a desktop when using SSH if you had enabled it. It is not enabled by default.
-
If you are seeing a desktop, I believe you’re “RDPing” to the Windows instance. This is done with the RDP protocol on port 3389.
- Two different protocols and two different ports.
- Workspaces doesn’t allow terminal or ssh services by default. You need to use Workspace client. You still can enable RDP or/and SSH but this is not recommended.
- Workspaces is a managed desktop service. AWS is taking care of pre-build AMIs, software licenses, joining to domain, scaling etc.
- What is Amazon EC2? Scalable, pay-as-you-go compute capacity in the cloud. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.
- What is Amazon WorkSpaces? Easily provision cloud-based desktops that allow end-users to access applications and resources. With a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, customers can provision a high-quality desktop experience for any number of users at a cost that is highly competitive with traditional desktops and half the cost of most virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions. End-users can access the documents, applications and resources they need with the device of their choice, including laptops, iPad, Kindle Fire, or Android tablets.
- Amazon EC2 can be classified as a tool in the “Cloud Hosting” category, while Amazon WorkSpaces is grouped under “Virtual Desktop”.
-
Some of the features offered by Amazon EC2 are:
- Elastic – Amazon EC2 enables you to increase or decrease capacity within minutes, not hours or days. You can commission one, hundreds or even thousands of server instances simultaneously.
- Completely Controlled – You have complete control of your instances. You have root access to each one, and you can interact with them as you would any machine.
- Flexible – You have the choice of multiple instance types, operating systems, and software packages. Amazon EC2 allows you to select a configuration of memory, CPU, instance storage, and the boot partition size that is optimal for your choice of operating system and application.
On the other hand, Amazon WorkSpaces provides the following key features:
- Support Multiple Devices- Users can access their Amazon WorkSpaces using their choice of device, such as a laptop computer (Mac OS or Windows), iPad, Kindle Fire, or Android tablet.
- Keep Your Data Secure and Available- Amazon WorkSpaces provides each user with access to persistent storage in the AWS cloud. When users access their desktops using Amazon WorkSpaces, you control whether your corporate data is stored on multiple client devices, helping you keep your data secure.
- Choose the Hardware and Software you need- Amazon WorkSpaces offers a choice of bundles providing different amounts of CPU, memory, and storage so you can match your Amazon WorkSpaces to your requirements. Amazon WorkSpaces offers preinstalled applications (including Microsoft Office) or you can bring your own licensed software.
Amazon EBS vs Amazon EFS
An Amazon EBS volume stores data in a single Availability Zone.
To attach an Amazon EC2 instance to an EBS volume, both the Amazon EC2 instance and the EBS volume must reside within the same Availability Zone.
Amazon EFS is a regional service. It stores data in and across multiple Availability Zones.
The duplicate storage enables you to access data concurrently from all the Availability Zones in the Region where a file system is located. Additionally, on-premises servers can access Amazon EFS using AWS Direct Connect.

- Yet another SAA-C02 completion postby /u/PokingLaughingCrying (AWS Certifications) on June 27, 2022 at 3:59 am
Hey everyone! I passed the SAA-C02 a few days ago with a score of 845/1000! I started studying mid march 2022 with u/acantril course. Absolutely incredible resource and worth the time it takes to complete. My studies with that finished at the beginning of June. Following up with that I used u/stephanemaarek course, but I skipped the labs and just focused on the content as a refresher. While I was doing this I practiced with tutorials dojo exams. I felt the difficulty was on par with the exam and was scoring between 85-90% on them. Thanks u/jon-bonso-tdojo! I'm really glad I did the u/stephanemaarek course as well, specifically the machine learning section the day before the exam definitely snagged me some points. I had 2 questions on it! Mostly just picking the correct service to use. I had a handful of questions about HPC's which was interesting, more than I thought I would! Not sure what's next for me, I completed the CKA earlier this year and have a cloud resume developed from the cloud resume challenge. The last piece is implementing testing in the deployment pipeline. Maybe I'll try and use terraform instead of CloudFormation. Who knows! submitted by /u/PokingLaughingCrying [link] [comments]

- Free AWS Mini Project - Hybrid DNS AWS <=> ONPREM (with videos)by /u/acantril (AWS Certifications) on June 27, 2022 at 1:31 am
https://preview.redd.it/f0pqfz5jg2891.png?width=3832&format=png&auto=webp&s=08ab0ec4226ffad8a0ac89e4dd87ae9f07e1047a Hi Everyone ! I just wanted to throw another free mini project out there for everyone to use - another one with videos. https://github.com/acantril/learn-cantrill-io-labs/tree/master/aws-hybrid-dns I maintain a AWS mini project REPO https://github.com/acantril/learn-cantrill-io-labs These are mini projects which help improve your practical implementation skills - I've had students tell me these have made the difference in interview situations. Today I added my AWS Hybrid DNS mini project to the list (https://github.com/acantril/learn-cantrill-io-labs/tree/master/aws-hybrid-dns) which includes videos. The videos are linked in that link, or available on YouTube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmPTavtAB9s&list=PLTk5ZYSbd9MjGUpHNvjhGiy2SESdYZwce (I uploaded 6k resolution versions, YouTube are still processing above 5k) In this one, we simulate a hybrid network environment with AWS on one side, and a simulated on-premises environment on the other. We implement network connectivity and then by creating inbound & outbound route53 endpoints we connect the Linux named based DNS to AWS allowing bi-directional resolution (AWS => ONPREM & ONPREM => AWS) But wait, there's more... I've been progressively going through my mini projects repo and adding video guides to the most popular ones: With this one you will use codecommit as a repo, build docker images with codebuild, and use pipeline and deploy to push the docker image to ECS Fargate (a simple container of cats dockerized application) https://github.com/acantril/learn-cantrill-io-labs/tree/master/aws-codepipeline-catpipeline If you want to create a Dynamic BGP VPN check this one out https://github.com/acantril/learn-cantrill-io-labs/blob/master/aws-hybrid-bgpvpn If you fancy creating a working web identity federation application check this out https://github.com/acantril/learn-cantrill-io-labs/tree/master/aws-cognito-web-identity-federation or if you want to create a serverless reminder application using S3 API Gateway, Lambda, Step functions, SNS and SES check this out https://github.com/acantril/learn-cantrill-io-labs/tree/master/aws-serverless-pet-cuddle-o-tron and if you want to do a full architecture evolution of a monolithic web app through to a scalable and self-healing architecture ... this is the one for you https://github.com/acantril/learn-cantrill-io-labs/tree/master/aws-elastic-wordpress-evolution I'm going to go through as many of these as i can and add high quality video guides, but these are the ones so far. if you do enjoy them, please spread the word.

- Exam Rules (Associate Developer)by /u/ISpamThereforeIStink (AWS Certifications) on June 26, 2022 at 9:10 pm
I'm going for my Associate Dev Certificate in the next couple weeks. Feeling fairly good about the material itself, but I've always been pretty bad at exams. I dunno if I have like undiagnosed ADD, but in general with passive activities like reading, watching movies, and yes taking exams, my mind tends to drift around a lot and it's hard to stay focused. I do fine with more active things like video games and playing music, which is probably why I like coding. In taking some practice exams, I'm realizing I stay more focused and tend to do better when I'm able to take notes on a blank piece of paper. Even literally just writing things like "ASG --> EC2" when reading a question helps a TON. I feel like I know the answer to this already, but there's no physical pen & paper notes taking of any kind allowed, correct? I've seen some people mention an online whiteboard kinda in microsoft paint style, is this the case for Pearson & PSI? What about In person & online? Any accommodations I'm not seeing to help with this? Appreciate any help / advice folks have! TLDR: What's the deal with taking notes during the exam? submitted by /u/ISpamThereforeIStink [link] [comments]
- SAA-C02 - Woke up to this email. Encouragement for those will take soonby /u/ThrivingNomadic (AWS Certifications) on June 26, 2022 at 1:17 pm
https://preview.redd.it/uu9ayvb8py791.png?width=614&format=png&auto=webp&s=5660821a483f72d6694d9be505df67b43c77d839 To my surprise, I woke up to this email this morning. Scored 798. I took the exam Saturday mid-day and wasn't expecting an answer until Monday. But it came Sunday morning. This post is only to be served as encouragement for those who will take it soon. TIMELINE: I was in a bit of a rush. My timeline was one month because I will be making a cross country move next month. Then I found out this version of the exam was retiring end of August, that put even more pressure. I spent the past month studying 3-5hrs a day. Every single day. BACKGROUND: I work at home as helpdesk with an insane amount of downtime. I would have about 2hours of actual work done per day, then study for the remainder of my shift/day. My work actually encourages to use the downtime and earn certs they reimburse for. STUDY SOURCE: Before knowing about this sub, I searched on YouTube 'AWS Cert' and came across NetworkChuck's AWS video. He recommended Anthony Sequeira on Udemy. No surprise as I am sure he gets an actual cut of the deal. But after completing this course, there was SO much missing. I still felt lost. The material just wasn't there. I was not prepared to take the exam at all. It was a good beginners level intro course for Practitioner, definitely not Solutions Architect. Then I found this sub and went with Stéphane Maarek (Udemy) and https://tutorialsdojo.com/ Practice Exams. Stéphane Maarek (Udemy): I could not recommend this highly enough for hands on. Actually doing it hands on makes you remember a lot of things. His 825-page slide was SUPER beneficial as it served as a cheat-sheet for me. Whenever I needed to remember or reference what a certain service was for, I used the search function of the slide and BOOM. I finished the Udemy course in 2 weeks. These slides ARE NOT FREE, you must purchase the Udemy course to access them. https://tutorialsdojo.com/ : I still needed something to supplement the videos and the Practice Exams here I also highly recommend. The way the questions are worded were very similar to the actual exam. It helped me know what to look for, how to use elimination technique, how to search for keywords and key concepts within each question. I consistently scored 60-70s my first round of practice exams but I was not satisfied enough. After taking another week to study, I was consistently scoring 77-85%. His cheat-sheet section and Comparison of AWS Services section was also a game changer for me. Available free here: https://tutorialsdojo.com/comparison-of-aws-services/ ADVICE: If you are bi-lingual, you can get extra +30minutes accommodation. I am spanish but took the test in english. You dont have to call for this accommodation. You literally select it from the accomodations page and it was instantly approved. This saved my butt as I flagged so many questions, it took exactly the remaining 30 minutes to revisit. There are other available accomodations on the list. Eat something light as you will be sitting still for good bit. I took my test at home. If you are in apartments, CLOSE YOUR WINDOW. I have kids that play outside constantly. If the proctor hears this, they will absolutely not hesitate to end your exam. I was getting worried that too many of my answers were "A" option. Like an insane amount. It became a distractor. Process of elimination is key. Every instructor will tell you this. When you are consistently scoring 80s in the above practice exam, then you are ready. A Warning I feel like I definitely got some Beta questions in from the new C03 exam as there was a keyword i have not heard any instructor talk about. There were three questions that talked about "AWS Data Lake" either in the question itself or in the answers. This was the first time I heard of this word. I knew the concept but I had no idea this was an AWS service. I went back to my study materials and confirmed no instructor covered this keyword. Cheers! submitted by /u/ThrivingNomadic [link] [comments]

- Passed the SAA-C02! Some insight from my experienceby /u/Incompl (AWS Certifications) on June 26, 2022 at 1:36 am
First of all, I just wanted to say that I've lurked this subreddit for a while, and amazed at the support and positivity I've seen here. I wanted to contribute a tiny bit and post about my experience and the information I looked for when searching about this exam. tl;dr Passed with score of 893. First AWS cert, took in person with PearsonVUE, as I did not want to deal with the virtual setup and risk any technical issues. Did not receive results immediately, results received within 24 hours. Main study materials over 2 months: Udemy - Stephane Maarek (Training and Exam) Tutorials Dojo - Jon Bonso Practice Exams Udemy - Neal Davis Practice Exams AWS Official docs and FAQs 1 White paper (AWS Well-Architected Framework) Tutorials Dojo resources (cheatsheets, and comparison of services) Background Software engineer for 10+ years Hands-on AWS experience for 7+ years. Varying levels of exposure and usage for the following services: S3, Lambda, SQS, SNS, EC2, EBS, ASG, RDS, ELB, EMR, Route 53, CloudWatch, IAM, and Athena. Almost no hands-on experience on: Anything related to VPC (only worked lightly with Security Groups), Aurora, EFS, API Gateway, Kinesis, CloudFront, Storage Gateway, FSx, EFA, Beanstalk, WAF Studying Approach While I did have a good amount of hands-on experience prior to starting my study, some of my knowledge was quite out of date (did not know S3 was strongly consistent), and I only had bits and pieces of experience (only worked with ALBs, no experience with NLBs). I knew about the basic concepts of S3, but I didn't know anything about all the other storage classes such as S3-IA or Glacier. I had no idea EBS volumes were in a single AZ. I only knew about weighted routing policy in Route 53, and so on. So while using these services did give me a leg up on having at least a baseline knowledge, I felt like I had to rebuild my fundamental understanding of all services and the latest and greatest features. I did the majority of my learning and preparation for my exam through the resources I'll talk about in a bit. Step 1: Initial Training - Building the fundamental knowledge Over the course of about 2 months, I went through Stephane Maarek's course on Udemy. I think if you have never used AWS before, going in order probably makes the most sense. However, since I had used multiple services before, I skipped ahead to the VPC section and spent a considerable amount of time there to understand all the different services, while taking notes. Once I had a decent enough understanding, I went through the course from the beginning. While I wanted to speed through the content (I initially tried at x1.5 speed), I was having a tough time retaining the knowledge. I decided to take it slow and take a bunch of notes, and really try to expand my baseline knowledge. Step 2: Testing my understanding After talking to my colleagues and reading this subreddit, I went ahead and went with buying the Jon Bonso Tutorials Dojo tests. My goal here was to test my fundamental understanding of the my knowledge, and identify my gaps. I also only took the exams in timed mode, to simulate the pacing I would need. First pass test scores below: Set 1: 73.85% Set 2: 66.15% Set 3: 76.92% Set 4: 75.38% Set 5: 70.77% Set 6: 75.38% I also took Stephane's exam at the end of his course, where I scored 75%. Step 3: Reviewing my understanding After my tests, I would go through every incorrect question first, to understand why I got it wrong. Sometimes, it was a matter of choosing wrong between two similar choices (I had a tough time understanding the difference was between an interface endpoint and a gateway endpoint). Other times, I was careless when I was reading the question and answers (the question asks for options which are not suitable). Other times, I just had no idea what the service was even capable of (no idea you could do Expedited Retrievals for Glacier). The TD exams are great, as they directly explain every single option, as well as link to resources where you can read up more about it. Some things that I struggled to remember were specific facts, so I took some time to memorize those (Number of days storage requirements for different S3 storage classes, and IOPS for varying EBS volumes, for example). Step 4: Filling in the gaps While the Stephane's course covers a lot of content, I really wanted to shore up my understanding and fill in the gaps. While the practice test scores probably indicated that I could take the test and pass, I didn't want to risk having to retake it. So I went ahead and went through various other resources, which included: Using the Tutorials Dojo comparison of AWS services and study guide Various AWS service FAQs - Good to read through to confirm understanding. If would definitely recommend at least skimming through these, focusing primarily on the ones that Stephane covers in his course. AWS Documentation: You could read through them, but I would use the details docs to specifically to learn about the services which came up on the practice exams which I didn't fully understand (Gateway endpoint vs Interface endpoint). Skimmed through one Whitepaper, which was AWS Well-Architected Framework. Going through Stephane's course and my notes again. Step 5: Retaking practice exams and final prep When I was a few days out from the exam, and at least a week+ after taking the initial Bonso exams, I wanted to retake the exams. I did not end up retaking all of them, but my scores were as follows: Set 1: 81.54% Set 2: 95.38% Set 3: 95.38% Set 4: 100% I definitely remembered some of the questions and answers, so these scores are definitely inflated. However, I was happy that I was able to now understand the questions which tripped me up before. I finally wanted to do a couple of more tests for practice, so I took a few of Neal Davis's practice exams on Udemy. Test scores below: 81% 76% 86% By this point, I was pretty exhausted from taking so many practice exams and reading through so many materials so I decided to stop at 3 exams. The morning of the exam, I lightly skimmed over the some of the more lightly covered services (mainly machine learning ones mentioned in Stephane's course) to remind myself of what those are, as well as the TD study materials, such as the cheat sheets and comparison of services. Step 6: Taking the actual exam By this point, I was fairly well versed in the timing required for taking the exam, so my pace was pretty solid. I went through and answered every question with about 50 minutes to spare, while flagging about 15 questions which I wasn't 100% certain about. Some of them varied in uncertainty (some I was 80% sure of the right answer, some I was 50-50). I took up the remaining time to review every single question to make sure I had read the question correctly (to make sure I didn't trip up on the wording or understanding). After the exam, I was fairly confident I had passed the exam, but wasn't entirely sure about my score. Finished the exam about 1:30 pm on Friday, and received the results Saturday morning at about 5:30 AM with a score of 893, which was higher than I had expected. Final words: I would highly recommend all the materials I used in my studying. Stephane's course is excellent for covering all the topics while he gives some helpful tips on what you will probably be tested on the exam. Both Jon's and Neal's exams were extremely helpful for giving information on why answers were right and why others were wrong. I also think in terms of level of difficulty, they are very similar to the actual exam. I also think this is subjective, as it kind of depends on your level of knowledge and comfort level with all the different services. Here are some random tips and observations I had from my experience: I noticed that there were definitely a few questions on the real exam that I had encountered (or very similar questions) to ones I saw in the practice exams Jon Bonso and Neal Davis. Taking all those practice exams and reviewing them closely definitely helped in these cases. Remember that while there are 65 questions, 15 are unscored. Of course, I don't know which ones are unscored, but don't panic if you see a service that you've barely seen or remember from studying. Just flag them for review later or try to eliminate as many options as possible before answering. Chances are that these are the unscored questions, assuming you went through all these materials. I definitely remember at least one question which referenced some machine learning services. I am a very visual person, so I did my best to visualize all network related questions while studying, such as VPCs, ELBs, Route 53, and CloudFront. While I did get a whiteboard and used it for one VPC related question, it helped to be able to visualize these things in my head without having to write it out. Try to really understand and remember what makes a specific service unique or different from each other. This is covered in various resources that I have already mentioned, and it will depend on your specific level of understanding. Read the questions and answers carefully. This is important as there are always specific keywords they use to indicate what the solution is looking for (cost, availability, durability, time periods, etc). Especially the long-winded questions with long answers, it's easy to glaze over it and not correctly interpret what they're proposing in the solution. When there are long answers with 3+ services in the picture, there's usually one of them that are obviously wrong, so it's easy to eliminate. Definitely try and eliminate as many answers as possible, before attempting to answer the question. If you are unable to least narrow it down to two answers during your practice exams, read up on the incorrect answers to understand why those are incorrect. You're probably lacking knowledge still if you're unable to do so. Thanks for reading my long post, good luck to you all on your certification journey. submitted by /u/Incompl [link] [comments]
- AWS SA with ZERO IT experienceby /u/BlueStar392 (AWS Certifications) on June 25, 2022 at 10:11 pm
Guys, pls be aware that AWS SA job is to design solutions after looking at all the options and based on your prior experience. Thats Basic need of this role. Now, you tell if you don't have any IT exp; how you can use Linux/Networking/Databases/MS Office/ etc and provide the solution. Lets say, GOD came & gave you the solution; then how you'll face the client team asking 100's of questions / options. You see all those experience guys mentioned that most of the times they're having meetings, what do you think what they do in the meetings; discuss Tom Cruise's next movie? 🙂 No, ...They've answer all the client's questions/solutions which is based on their experience until now and not some SAA course 🙂 Makes sense? So, when people tells you no IT experience needed; that's completely lie to sell their courses or they don't care about genuine advice. Its not to discourage but to set your expectations and start with lower role kind of Analyst & then move up from there. Advice - Move with calculated risk. submitted by /u/BlueStar392 [link] [comments]

- AWS job application incompleteby /u/JustBeLikeAndre (AWS Certified Experts) on June 24, 2022 at 7:58 pm
Hi, I hope I'm posting on the right subreddit. I applied for a job at AWS but I received an email saying that my application is incomplete. There is no further explanation on what's missing and I do remember having filled all the required fields. Unfortunately this email can't be replied to and there is no way get in touch with AWS from their website. It's also not possible to edit the application. I could only withdraw it and apply again, but then I don't know what to do differently. Do you have any tips to share on what could be the issue? Thank you. submitted by /u/JustBeLikeAndre [link] [comments]

- For the Stephane Maarek course, do you do everything side by side? (SAA-C03)by /u/topologicalfractal (AWS Certifications) on June 24, 2022 at 2:55 pm
I find repeating some of the hands on kindof pointless because its just clicking stuff in a certain order, would it be enough to just get a solid grasp of the logic or is it better practice to try to implement stuff yourself? (I'm in the 1st quarter of the course, so far its just mostly pricing and setting up instances so even "implementing" stuff yourself is very basic stuff) submitted by /u/topologicalfractal [link] [comments]

- shared rds for customers, please adviseby /u/Muted_Cockroach3270 (AWS Certified Experts) on June 22, 2022 at 4:14 pm
so in my poc scenario I have shared rds for customers. my team suggest vpc peering for customers with aws environments to connect but it doesn't seem like the most secure option as we would be connection both customer vpc and our vpc together and without extra controls that customer would have access to the whole vpc . The most simple option proposed is customer controlled tgw, which would allow access if they share . the last is private link which seems like the best option but is slightly more complex in setup and I'm not sure it would provide any more segmentation or security than TGW option would in this case. submitted by /u/Muted_Cockroach3270 [link] [comments]
