How hard is the AWS solutions architect associate exam? I’ve done the Azure fundamentals cert so I have an understanding of general cloud concepts. Just trying to figure out if I would need to take the AWS cloud practitioner exam (which sounds like it would be very similar to azure fundamentals) before doing the solutions architect test or not

You don’t need to take the cloud practitioner beforehand. I had azure experience when I took that test, and I passed pretty easily with one weekend of prep. It’s annoying at times because it can be aws specific but tons of concepts will carry over.

Thank you, this is super helpful!

As a data engineer with roughly 1-2 years AWS experience, it required a dedicated effort to do well. Went through Stephane Maarek’s Udemy course and also carefully studied Tutorials Dojo’s practice exams. In total it was about 6 months of on and off studying. Coming from the data background it was initially tough for me to get through the networking and compute sections but the practice exams and use cases discussed in the coursework helped me to familiarize myself with the concepts. Wishing you all the best with your studying! Please feel free to DM me if you have any questions

Google 1 - if you read my comment properly, I said 6 months of on-and-off preparation. Meaning maybe a total of 2 months or so with about 2 hours per day. No need to make smart comments for no reason
