Whitepapers
- AWS Well-Architected Framework – This whitepaper is my absolute favorite and one of the most important papers that you should study for the exam. It discusses the different pillars that make up a well-architected cloud environment. Expect the scenarios in your exam to be heavily based upon these pillars and dive deep into each pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
- AWS Security Best Practices – This whitepaper is also an important paper for the exam. It discusses the different pillars that make up a well-architected cloud environment. Expect the scenarios in the exam to be heavily based upon these pillars, and study the pillars carefully.
