👋 Welcome to this short and simple repo!
I scored 1000/1000 on the AWS Data Engineer - Associate exam. I hope my materials and cheat sheets help you!
- Completed FREE AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate Practice Exam – Sampler
- Took Planning Large Scale Data Migrations to AWS (for personal interest)
- Reviewed all questions from Examtopics
- Checked some concepts hands-on in my AWS Management console
(Disclaimer): I already had experience with core Data Engineering services (Redshift, Athena, Glue, Kinesis, S3) + the Data Analytics Specialty certification (retired) + knowledge of Architecting on AWS + AWS Solutions Architect associate certification.
📌 I do recommend labs, workshops and any relevant hands-on practice.
📌 I do recommend going through fundamental courses, practice exams and example questions:
- Fundamentals of Analytics on AWS – Part 1
- Fundamentals of Analytics on AWS – Part 2
- Data Engineering on AWS - Foundations
- Focus on what’s being asked: e.g., LEAST operational overhead, MOST cost-effective, FASTEST queries, LEAST latency.
- Pay attention to question details: data sources, on-premise or on AWS, data size, access patterns, etc.
- Note specific requirements: fault tolerance, low latency, no public Internet access, etc.
- Eliminate answers that don't make any sense.
- For the options remained: choose the most suitable option based on points 1-3.
- [EXTRA] Does the question scenario remind you anything mentioned in the how-to directory?
- Unsure? Flag it for review and move on.
- Stay calm and enjoy the exam—you've got this!
