✅ Passed SAA-C03: A Milestone in My Cloud Journey
🎉 I’m thrilled to share that I’ve officially earned the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) certification! 🎉
This achievement marks an important step in my professional growth toward Cloud Computing, DevOps, and DevSecOps.
🚀 What I Learned
While preparing for this certification, I deepened my understanding of several critical AWS concepts, including:
- Designing scalable and highly available architectures
- Implementing secure and cost-optimized solutions
- Applying AWS best practices for fault tolerance, automation, and performance
These topics helped me sharpen my cloud design skills and reinforced my commitment to building sustainable, reliable systems in the cloud.
📚 How I Prepared
I combined a variety of study resources to maximize both theoretical and practical understanding:
- 🎓 Stephane Maarek’s SAA-C03 Course on Udemy – Clear and comprehensive
- 🧠 Tutorial Dojo Practice Exams – Great for simulating real test scenarios
- 📘 AWS Skill Builder – For official AWS learning paths
- 📄 AWS Whitepapers – Essential for understanding architectural best practices
- ✅ Stephane Maarek’s Practice Tests – Slightly harder than the actual exam, which made the real thing feel easier
📝 Exam Insights
Honestly, the exam was easier than the practice tests.
The questions were short, straightforward, and focused mainly on core AWS services and basic scenarios. If you’re well-prepared, especially through practice exams, you’ll likely find the actual test manageable.
