AWS Certified Database

I passed the AWS Certified Database Speciality Exam in May. That makes my 11th AWS certification. The database specialty seems to have split out the database content from the Big Data exam, which was retired in April of 2020. I did SME work on this exam and completed several workshops before its release.

Update 4/8/2021:
I reviewed the acloud.guru course and it seems to cover the exam topics covered in the exam blueprint

With the removal of the Alexa Certification, I now have all 11 AWS certifications.

AWS Certified Machine Learning – Specialty Links

The Machine Learning exam is rather difficult, as discussed previously. The starting point would be the acloud.guru Machine Learning course or Linux Academy courses. Additionally is the training offered by AWS. A chunk of Machine Learning is data and data preparation, so please see my links from Big Data.

Here is a collection of links I put together which helped me with studying for the exam.
