I can't speak to the other cloud platforms, but AWS provides a nice little guide to figure out the free tier offering.

Hopefully that helps.

@Robert-Bedell,

Please submit this on our link to the course request page. This way your request is logged officially. If the request is already made, you can upvote it. This is the best way to insure that your request is seen.

Thanks Anthony.
I also know that this is one of the easiest exams ever, the hard part comes by continuing the path in AWS :-)

@Adam-Tyler said in AWS and OSPF:

I still don't fully grasp the idea of the VPC, but thus far I have been able to figure out that a VPC is married to an EC2 instance when it is created and cannot be changed.

VPC is actually a pretty simple concept. It's a virtual network. This AWS re:Invent 2018 video on YouTube explains it quite clearly.

If you're interested, I have created a very long, not yet sorted AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate playlist on YouTube to complement my ITProTV studies. It consists of lots of AWS re:Invent and re:Inforce presentations, with most videos coming from the 2019 re:Invent conference that just occurred three weeks ago.

Thanks Brian! I hope that I can keep up with those expectations!

Adam,
The practitioner and associate level exams are more about familiarity with practices and services within AWS. However, the professional level exams are about applying those concepts in response to customer requirements such as cost minimization, performance maximization, or scalability/reliability.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the answer Adam!

@Narayanan-Subramaniam said in AWS CSA Professional 2019:

Eagerly waiting for this course.

Ditto.

@Matthew-Horvay Apologize for the delayed response - somehow I missed your post. We have both the the SysOps and Solutions Architect Kaplan exams attached to our courses. We do not have access to any others as of now. When we do, we will make them available. Thanks!

Hi Justin,
I went with a lightsail instance for my website. I have the console with that so I don't have to cd downloads then change the permission. I think if I moved the key to home then I would not have to change directory to downloads. Also not really sure why the permission change isn't permanent.

thanks for the help

I got in no worries

Edgar,

Thank you for reporting that. James is correct that we updated the course for the new objectives, but it looks like we forgot to update the overview video to reflect the changes. I am out of the office right now, but Justin will re-record the overview video on Monday and we'll get it updated. Sorry for the confusion.

@James-Parsons We cannot tell you exactly when it will be on the schedule because there are too many factors. Keep an eye out on the newsletter and it will let you know when it's in production. Thanks!

Aurora is MySQL with a few tweaks. Watch the various AWS RDS videos to see discussions of the differences between Aurora and MySQL.

@James-Parsons,

Please make sure you submit this request to the course request list where these requests are tracked officially. This will give others a chance to vote it up as well.

@James-Parsons Thanks, James. We are following the new exam releases from AWS as well. From the exam objectives it looks like a background in Data Science is a must.

Hey James,
I am hoping to wrap up recording over the next two weeks. That is barring any technical shenanigans. When you dive in, I would love to hear any feedback that you have. Hope all is well.

@james-parsons We do have plans to add the Specialty certs (starting with Big Data) as well as the Solutions Architect Professional this year. Stay Tuned for more AWS!

OK So i sat down today and went through all the ITPRO.TV material and Other sources on the Internet and came up with this list of Topics for AWS 2018. I would appreciate any comments on whether these are still in the exam or any other topic i may like to consider. Thanks
