AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate Exam Guide

A guide to the certification

This intermediate Coursera exam guide from Packt explains what the Solutions Architect Associate credential validates: the ability to design secure and resilient systems on AWS. The listed skills show a wide scope, including serverless computing, identity and access management, network architecture, cloud storage and IT security architecture.

Reading the skills list

The mix of security, networking and storage suggests the material follows the exam's design domains rather than any single service. As the source text is cut off, check the provider's page for the exact modules.

• Use the skills list as a checklist of areas to cover.
• Spend extra time on identity and access management, since it appears twice.
• Draw one network diagram from memory to test your recall.
