Very interesting… Thanks for pointing this out!
If I had to guess, I’d say that the AWS certification team may be preparing to launch Beta Round 2 for re:Invent, though that’s just my speculation.
But in regards to what you could use in its place, for now, some kind forum participant previously shared it on Dropbox. (I linked to the post not directly to the file so you can upvote the poster to say thanks. ☺️ )
The exam was effectively canceled. A reworked Beta is coming in Q1. This information came directly from our AWS TAM (Technical Account Manager). I’ll quote his answer when I inquired; "The team is working on rebuilding the exam and will re-introduce it with a new beta by 1Q18."
