I sat the AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate this morning. That makes two exams this week in 3 days.
The exam was a little bit harder than the two other Associate exams as it went a level deeper. It focused on CloudFormation, CloudWatch, and deployment strategies. There were nine questions I struggled with the right answer, as all nine had two good answers. There were about 35 questions I knew cold. There were three questions duplicated on the other associate exams. All of the network questions I was over-thinking, probably based on the networking exam this week. Given this, I wasn’t worried when I ended the test. However, it’s always a relief when you get the Congratulations! You have successfully completed the AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate.
Within 10 minutes I got my score email:
Congratulations again on your achievement!

The score reflected over thinking the networking questions. I wouldn’t recommend sitting two different exams in the same few days.
That make 4 AWS certifications in 3 weeks:
- AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate
- AWS Certified Advanced Networking - Specialty
- AWS Certified Developer - Associate
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate (Released February 2018)
Guess now it’s time to focus on the last of the Amazon Certifications I’ll work on for now which is the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional.
