Hi thanks for this. The "New Exam Blue Print" and "Sample Questions" links dont work. Can you fix?
Thank you for this planning to take the exam soon as well.
The reinvent videos mentioned are of 2017. Shouldn’t we be referring to the latest one’s i.e 2018 ? Some of the information might be outdated ( e.g. hashing and random prefixing the S3 key is no longer required to see improved performance)
Thanks Man, this is really useful…
is this the new blueprint? https://d1.awsstatic.com/Train%20%26%20Cert/docs/AWS_certified_solutions_architect_professional_blueprint.pdf
