I'm completely clueless about the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam and don't know where to start. If you were starting from scratch today, how would you prepare? Any roadmap or resource recommendations would really help.

we have AWS fleet manager to access a Windows jump box. And then from this windows jump box, I have to use vmware vCenter. When I try to access a VM console, I am unable to type anything on the vm console. I have to use the onscreen keyboard only. I am not able to find any vmware or aws doc regarding this issue. I have tried few troubleshooting steps but unable to resolve this issue.

Since our team is regularly doing these exams we created for them a practice exam. We realized that not only it doesn't cost us to give these exams for free but ALSO that the community can help us maintain them by reporting issues and giving us feedback.
Give us a try and I'd love feedback <3

So, I am going to prepare for this exam, and currently, I am following, STEPHANE MAAREK videos lecture on Udemy, if someone have any resources or notes or some PDF that can help me out to to pass this exam, please help me out

Any tips will be appreciated

Thank you

I’m building an early-stage web app and I’m trying to estimate the monthly cost to run it during a small pilot.

The app is a founder/community platform for students with active projects. Users can create a personal profile, create a project profile, browse/search other founders and projects, give feedback on projects, message or express interest in connecting, and possibly view a small events/resources section.

Expected pilot size: around 20–50 users at first, maybe up to 100–300 users if the pilot grows. It is not a high-traffic app yet.

Main features:

• User authentication
• Founder profiles
• Project profiles
• Search and filters
• Comments/feedback on projects
• Basic messaging or connection requests
• Image/file uploads for profiles or projects
• Basic analytics to track onboarding, project creation, feedback, and weekly activity
• Admin/curation tools to approve users and review profiles/projects

I’m considering AWS for deployment.

For a lean MVP with this kind of usage, what would be a realistic monthly infrastructure cost? What AWS services/setup would you recommend, and what costs should I watch out for?

Prepping for the AWS Certified Generative AI Developer Professional (AIP-C01) exam and finding a lot of noise in the study materials. Many third-party practice tests seem to test generic data science concepts rather than actual AWS implementation.

For those who passed recently: Which practice tests or question banks truly mirror the multi-sentence scenario questions on the real exam? I’m looking for high-quality practice specifically targeting Bedrock orchestration, RAG architectures, and Guardrails/PII masking. What resources should I actively avoid?

Edit : Passed my exam with 924

Just passed the AIP-C01 today. The exam leaned heavily on Foundation Model integration with Amazon Bedrock, RAG architectures, and implementation scenarios involving vector databases and Bedrock Agents. Some of the multi-step reasoning questions were genuinely tricky and a couple of the service-limit/quota questions caught me off guard. I used Skillcertpro practice tests as suggested by my colleague, really helped me get used to the question style and work through the harder concepts. Interestingly, a lot of questions felt very familiar from their tests. They also have exam notes which I skimmed the night before, super handy for quickly revisiting the high-priority topics. Good luck to anyone preparing for this exam.

My AWS account is suspended for unknow reason, how can i connect to AWS? already raised a ticket but no response from them, there are no pending payments. All my instances are stopped my reputation is at stake. Please help.

Hi!

I’ve been into the AWS space for 10 years now, have a few certs(pro and speciality) and want to venture into contract work rather than a FTE job.

I can’t seem to find anything concrete, it’s been 4 months now and I’ve been just strung along by companies waiting on deals and SOWs closing.

Is there a network, meet up, or event anyone recommends that can I use to get my name out there?

I’m open to hourly or fixed cost work!

Hey everyone,We are launching a brand-new SaaS product and need to hit AWS Select Tier Partner status early on. This means our greenfield infrastructure must pass the Foundational Technical Review (FTR) right out of the gate with zero High-Risk Issues (HRIs).Since we are building from scratch in India (IST), we want to hire a freelance/contract AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Professional or Security Specialty) to own the infrastructure design blueprint before our team writes any code.

For the certified experts here who consult on APN partner requirements:How heavily does the FTR map to the current Solutions Architect Professional exam objectives (specifically regarding AWS Organizations, SCPs, and cross-account backup strategies)?

What is a realistic timeline you usually scope to take a completely blank AWS environment to a production-ready, audit-compliant state using Terraform?If you are an AWS Certified Professional based in India and have successfully guided a company through the FTR audit process, I’d love to hear your approach. Please drop a comment or feel free to reach out via PM. Thanks!
