The material for the AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate seems to be a lot of the material cover under the Associate Architect and Associate Developer. I would have thought the material more focus on setting up and troubleshooting issues with EC2, RDS, ELB, VPC etc. It also spends a lot of time looking at CloudWatch, but doesn’t really provide strategies for leveraging the logs. Studying was a combination of the acloud.guru and the official study guide, and the Amazon Whitepapers.
I took the AWS supplied practice test using a free test voucher and score the following:
| Congratulations! You have successfully completed the AWS Certified SysOps Administrator Associate - Practice Exam
|
| Overall Score: 90%
|
| Topic Level Scoring:
1.0 Monitoring and Metrics: 100%
2.0 High Availability: 100%
3.0 Analysis: 66%
4.0 Deployment and Provisioning: 100%
5.0 Data Management: 100%
6.0 Security: 100%
7.0 Networking: 66%

It interesting the networking score was so low as I just passed the Network Speciality.
This is the last Associate exam to pass for me. If I successfully pass it, I will begin the process of studying for the Certified Solution Architect - Professional. That will probably be my last AWS certification as I’ll look at either starting on something like TOGAF certification, Redhat or Linux Institute, Cisco, GCP or Azure, depending on where my interest lies in a few weeks.
