Course description
Overview
Welcome! I'm here to help you prepare and PASS the newest AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional exam. I'm so excited to have you here, but first, let's make sure this AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional course is the right one for you -- -- -- -- -- -- -- COURSE UPDATES [SAP-C02 November 2022 Update]: All the course has been updated to match the new exam version SAP-C02 [April 2022 Update]: Over 10 videos have been refreshed/added to keep up with the AWS exam changes [Feb 2022]: entire course has been refreshed, new topics added, old topics information fixed, diagrams improved. Happy learning! -- -- -- -- -- -- -- **PLEASE READ**: The course is ALL SLIDES-BASED: No hands-on will be done during this course. If you're new to AWS, just finished AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate and need to acquire some hands-on experience, I strongly recommend doing the following courses: AWS Certified Developer Associate, AWS Certified SysOps Administrator Associate, AWS Certified DevOps Engineer. Expert course - you MUST have AT LEAST the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate: a lot of pre-requisite knowledge is assumed for that course. If you don't feel confident, please review the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate course first. Other certifications and extra-hands on experience is a huge plus. This course is FAST-PACED: You must be ready to learn fast. I will not waste time over some basics. The slides are downloadable. I advise you to use the slides for some offline review after your session. I also recommend to not hesitate to go over some lectures you might have not understood fully. NO PRACTICE EXAM INCLUDED: This course does not contain a practice exam. Please enroll in a separate course for that. This course focuses on teaching you the knowledge to ace the exam. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- The AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional certification is one of the most challenging exams. It requires some substantial hands-on and real-world experience for you to pass. This course is going to help you solidify the knowledge you already have and put it in perspective through the study of various solutions architectures and services. This course alone won't help you pass the exam. You need to invest a significant amount of your time reading the documentation when you have doubts. With the right dedication and thanks to this course, you should be prepared for your exam and maximize your chances of passing your AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional certification! I am dedicated to helping people pass AWS certifications on Udemy, and have been teaching about how to pass all Associate Level, Professional Level, and few Specialty certifications. People who learn with me pass their exams with great confidence! -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Stephane Maarek | AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner,Solutions Architect,Developer Best Selling Instructor, 11x AWS Certified, Kafka Guru Stephane is a solutions architect, consultant and software developer that has a particular interest in all things related to Cloud & Big Data. He's also a many-times best seller instructor on Udemy for his courses in AWS and Apache Kafka. [See FAQ below to see in which order you can take my courses] Stéphane is recognized as an AWS Hero and is an AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional & AWS Certified DevOps Professional. He loves to teach people how to use the AWS properly, to get them ready for their AWS certifications, and most importantly for the real world. He also loves Apache Kafka. He used on the Program Committee organizing the Kafka Summit in New York, London and San Francisco. He also was an active member of the Apache Kafka community, and has authored blogs on Medium and the guest blog for Confluent. He also has co-founded Conduktor, a prominent company in the Kafka ecosystem. During his spare time he enjoys cooking, practicing yoga, surfing, watching TV shows, and traveling to awesome destinations! FAQ: In which order should you learn?... AWS Cloud: Start with AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner or AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate, then move on to AWS Certified Developer Associate and then AWS Certified SysOps Administrator. Afterwards you can either do AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional or AWS Certified DevOps Professional, or a specialty certification of your choosing. You can also learn about AI with the AWS Certified AI Practitioner course! Apache Kafka: Start with Apache Kafka for Beginners, then you can learn Connect, Streams and Schema Registry if you're a developer, and Setup and Monitoring courses if you're an admin. Both tracks are needed to pass the Confluent Kafka certification.
