Exam Tips¶
- There are very very few trick questions
- If a solution seems feasible but highly complicated, it's probably wrong
- Whenever there is a negative keyword like NOT then the chances of the option being the correct answer is very less.
- Whenever you have questions related to debugging why something is not working then options containing the word permissions becomes a potential answer.
- When you see automatic retries think about AWS SDK.
- AWS SDK also implements exponential backoff.
- If you need to figure out why some service is slow (performance issues) just go with X-Ray.
- Generally when something is wrong in the application configuration it will give us a big error.
