Hey, this is Andrew Brown from exam Pro. And I'm bringing you another free Eva's certification | 1,140 | 5,660 | |
course. And this one happens to be the most popular in demand. And it is the solutions | 5,660 | 9,470 | |
architect associate certification. So if you're looking to pass that exam, this is the course | 9,470 | 14,820 | |
for you. And we are going to learn a broad amount of database services, we're going to | 14,820 | 20,320 | |
learn how to build applications that are highly available, scalable or durable. And we're | 20,320 | 24,360 | |
going to learn how to architect solutions based on the business use case. Now, if you're | 24,360 | 28,711 | |
looking at this course, and it's 2020, and you're wondering if you can use it to pass, | 28,711 | 33,460 | |
you definitely can because the video content here was shot in late 2019. The only difference | 33,460 | 39,050 | |
is that the AWS interface has changed a little bit in terms of aesthetic, but it's more or | 39,050 | 44,820 | |
less the same. So you can definitely use this course, if you want a high chance of passing, | 44,820 | 49,300 | |
I definitely recommend that you do the hands on labs here in your own AWS account. If you | 49,300 | 56,100 | |
enjoyed this course, I definitely want to get your feedback. So definitely share anything | 56,100 | 60,440 | |
that you've experienced throughout this course here. And if you pass, I definitely want to | 60,440 | 65,860 | |
hear that as well. And I also hope you enjoy this course. And good luck studying. | 65,860 | 72,670 | |
Hey, this is Andrew Brown from exam Pro. And we are going to look at the solution architect | 72,670 | 81,430 | |
associate and whether it's a good fit for us to take the certification. So the first | 81,430 | 87,740 | |
thing I want you to know is that this kind of role is for finding creative solutions | 87,740 | 91,430 | |
by leveraging cloud services instead of reinventing the wheel. It's all about big picture thinking. | 91,430 | 96,730 | |
So you're going to need broad knowledge across multiple domains. It's great for those who | 96,730 | 100,729 | |
get bored really easily. And so you're gonna have to wear multiple hats. And it's really | 100,729 | 105,630 | |
less about how are we going to implement this and more about what are we going to implement, | 105,630 | 111,270 | |
okay, so you would come up with an architecture using multiple different cloud services, and | 111,270 | 116,590 | |
then you would pass it on to your cloud engineers to actually go implement, it's not uncommon | 116,590 | 121,969 | |
for a solution architect to be utilized within the business development team. So it's not | 121,969 | 127,079 | |
quite unusual to see solution architects being very charismatic speakers and extroverts, | 127,079 | 132,730 | |
because they're going to have to talk to other companies to collaborate with, alright, and | 132,730 | 138,690 | |
just to really give you a good idea of what a solution architect does, they're going to | 138,690 | 143,260 | |
be creating a lot of architectural diagrams. So here, I just pulled a bunch from the internet, | 143,260 | 146,930 | |
and you can see kind of the complexity and how they tie into different services, you're | 146,930 | 151,690 | |
going to require a lot of constant learning, because AWS is constantly adding new services | 151,690 | 156,090 | |
and trying to figure out how they all fit together is a common thing. And advice that | 156,090 | 160,650 | |
I get from some senior solution architects at large companies, is you're always thinking | 160,650 | 165,489 | |
about pricing, and you're always thinking about can you secure a whatever that is okay, | 165,489 | 169,310 | |
but at best is gonna have their own definition there, which is all about the five pillars, | 169,310 | 175,489 | |
which comes into the well architected framework. But you know, we'll learn that as we go along | 175,489 | 180,549 | |
here. Okay, so let's talk about what value do we get out of the solution architect associate? | 180,549 | 186,220 | |
Well, it is the most popular at a certification out of every single one. It's highly in demand | 186,220 | 192,390 | |
with startups, because you can help wherever help is needed startups, from small to medium | 192,390 | 197,690 | |
size, just need people to fill any possible role. And because you're gonna have broad | 197,690 | 201,290 | |
knowledge, you're going to be considered very, very valuable, it is recognized as the most | 201,290 | 205,099 | |
important certification at the associate level, and it's going to really help you stand out | 205,099 | 210,180 | |
on a resumes, I would not say the associate is going to help you increase your salary | 210,180 | 216,170 | |
too much. But you're definitely going to see a lot more job opportunities to see those | 216,170 | 220,459 | |
increase in salaries, you're gonna have to get those pros and specialty certifications. | 220,459 | 225,310 | |
Okay, so if you're still not sure whether you should take the solution architect associate, | 225,310 | 231,200 | |
let me just give you a little bit more information. So it is the most in demand a certification. | 231,200 | 237,510 | |
So it has the most utility out of any other certification because of that broad knowledge. | 237,510 | 243,310 | |
It's not too easy, but it's not too hard. So it's not too easy, in the sense that, you | 243,310 | 247,840 | |
know, the information you're learning is superficial, it's actually going to be very useful on the | 247,840 | 251,950 | |
job. But it's also not that hard. So you're not going to risk failing the exam because | 251,950 | 256,750 | |
you don't know the nitty gritties of all the services, okay, it requires the least amount | 256,750 | 261,510 | |
of technical knowledge. So if you're really more of a, a academic or or theory based learner, | 261,510 | 269,290 | |
instead of having that hands on experience, you're going to excel here taking the solution | 269,290 | 273,790 | |
architect associate. And again, when in doubt, just take this certification because it gives | 273,790 | 279,350 | |
you the most flexible future learning path. So I always say that if you aren't sure what | 279,350 | 285,600 | |
specialty you want to take, take the solution architect associate. So you get to familiarize | 285,600 | 290,010 | |
yourself with all the different kinds of roles that you can encounter. So if you're definitely | 290,010 | 294,830 | |
thinking about doing big data security, machine learning, I would absolutely think a to do | 294,830 | 300,040 | |
Take the solution architect associate first. Of course, you can always do the solution | 300,040 | 303,890 | |
architect professional, if you want to keep on going down this specific path. And if you | 303,890 | 309,630 | |
are new to AWS and cloud computing in general, that I strongly recommend that you take the | 309,630 | 315,480 | |
CCP before taking the solution architect associate because it's a lot easier. And it's going | 315,480 | 322,270 | |
to give you more foundational knowledge so that you're going to have a really easy time | 322,270 | 326,970 | |
with this exam. And it specifically is the direct upgrade path. So all that stuff you | 326,970 | 332,400 | |
learn in the CCP is directly applicable to the Solution Architect associate. So how much | 332,400 | 339,630 | |
time are we going to have to invest in order to pass the solution architect | 339,630 | 343,480 | |
associate. And this is going to depend on your past experience. And so I've broken down | 343,480 | 348,290 | |
three particular archetypes to give you an idea of time investment. So if you are already | 348,290 | 353,630 | |
a cloud engineer, you're already working with AWS, you're looking at 20 hours of study, | 353,630 | 358,780 | |
you could pass this in a week, okay, but that's if you're using AWS on a day to day basis, | 358,780 | 364,780 | |
if you are a bootcamp grad, it's going to take you one to two months. So we're looking | 364,780 | 369,090 | |
between 80 to 160 hours of study. If you have never used AWS or heard of it, then you probably | 369,090 | 376,600 | |
should go take the certified cloud practitioner first, it's going to make things a lot easier, | 376,600 | 381,950 | |
which has a lot more foundational information, you might start this here and be overwhelmed, | 381,950 | 387,880 | |
because you feel that you're missing information. So you will probably want to go there first. | 387,880 | 391,770 | |
If you are a developer, and you've been working in the industry for quite a few years, but | 391,770 | 395,510 | |
maybe you've just never used AWS, then you're looking at one month of study. So that's about | 395,510 | 402,030 | |
80 hours of study. Okay, and so that will give you an idea how much time you need to | 402,030 | 407,320 | |
commit. Okay, so let's just touch on the exam itself here. So the exam itself is going to | 407,320 | 414,020 | |
cost $150, for you to take and that's in USD, you have to take it at a test center that | 414,020 | 421,690 | |
is partnered with AWS. So you will have to go through the portal there and book it and | 421,690 | 427,790 | |
then you'll be going down to that test center to right at the exam gives you 130 minutes | 427,790 | 433,400 | |
to complete it. There's a 65 questions on the exam, the passing score is around 72%. | 433,400 | 440,580 | |
And once you have the certification, it's going to be valid for three years. All right. | 440,580 | 444,920 | |
So hopefully, that gives you a bit of perspective and whether the solution architect associate | 444,920 | 449,450 | |
is right for you. Here I have on the right hand side, the exam guide. And I'm just going | 449,450 | 459,720 | |
to walk you quickly through it just so you get a kind of a breakdown of what it is that | 459,720 | 463,411 | |
AWS recommends that we should learn and how this this exam is broken up in terms of domains, | 463,411 | 472,410 | |
and also its scoring. Okay, so here on the left hand side, we're going to first look | 472,410 | 476,120 | |
at the content outline. Okay, if we just scroll down here, you can see it's broken up into | 476,120 | 480,960 | |
five domains. And we get a bunch a bunch more additional information. Okay, so we have a | 480,960 | 487,550 | |
design resilient architectures, design performance architectures, specify secure applications | 487,550 | 492,750 | |
and architectures designed cost optimized architectures, and define operational excellent | 492,750 | 497,110 | |
architectures. Now I highlighted the word in there resilient performance, secure cost, | 497,110 | 502,630 | |
optimizing operational excellence, because this actually maps to the five pillars of | 502,630 | 507,780 | |
the well architected framework, which is a recommended read for study here, okay. So | 507,780 | 515,870 | |
there is a rhyme and rhythm to this layout here, which we will talk about when we get | 515,870 | 520,120 | |
to the white paper section. But let's just look inside of each of these domains. So for | 520,120 | 524,970 | |
resilient architecture, you have to choose reliable and resilient storage. So there we're | 524,970 | 529,990 | |
talking about elastic block store in s3 and all the different storage options available | 529,990 | 537,640 |
