Description
The AWSÂ 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.
The AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional (CSA-Pro) exam reaches far beyond testing in-depth knowledge of the AWS platform and delves into your ability to make decisions in ambiguous situations, wrestle with sub-optimal trade-offs, and tease-out minute details from paragraphs of text. All this is carefully designed to permit only those with true, multi-dimensional mastery of cloud architectures to call themselves Certified Solutions Architects at the Professional level.
In this course, we cover:
- The five knowledge domains covered by the CSA-Pro exam
- Some of the inner workings of AWS services to truly understand their benefits and constraints
- Real-world solutions architecture approaches and recommendations
- Strategies on answering complex multi-part questions that are common on the exam
With the right dedication and under the supervision of our highly experienced Instructor who is AWS veteran, you will be able to slay the CSA-Pro dragon with confidence !
and not only passing the exam, but will also help you continue to develop professionally as a Solutions Architect.
Remember : The CSA-Pro exam is for advanced practitioners, and so is this course. We assume that you already have several years of AWS architecture experience behind you and that you already hold the AWS CSA-A certification, if not all three Associate-level AWS certs.
