Common questions
Do I need an AWS account to prepare?
It is not required for this test, but trying the services hands-on makes the concepts stick. If you create an account, set a billing alert first and delete resources when you finish.
Why are there no pricing figures in the questions?
Prices change and vary by region, so the test only checks pricing models, such as when on-demand, reserved or spot capacity makes sense.
Is this the same as a cloud certification exam?
No. It covers a smaller set of fundamentals that entry-level screenings commonly check. A certification covers more services and more detail.
