Thank you for hosting the practice exams, they have really helped me a lot in preparing for my exam. I passed.

[@ahumbleserve]

My 13 year old boy, just a few days ago, has got the badge for AWS CSA-03, possibly becoming currently the youngest person in the world to achieve such a feat. I'm so proud of him for such achivement, all my IT colegues and friends are impressed and some of them sent me messages asking how he got prepered and now they are motivated as well to apply for the exam. Not to mention that he is brazilian, and people in Brazil not usually achieve, and sometimes even recognize such merith

[@athletrxthecontactsportath3016]

Congratulations. My 13 year old son who is also Brazilian received the AWS Dev Ops and Architect certificates from Coursera. He programs in numerous languages. They should correspond.

[@bfosterETV]

I’m prepping for SAA-C03 in a few days. This has been a very welcome change from practice exams. Listening and visualizing in my head, eliminating or validation answers as you read, is awesome. Cheers!!

[@WASUPpLp13]

I love your teaching style and tone. Thank you so much for making these videos!

[@MrMaxKey]

he is not teaching there. just reading the questions and answers

[@Asmamahdi-f8x]

excellent exames questions and answer . Learned a lot from this video.

[@ThatoMary-Ann]

Great video! I am actually so glad i came across this. I understand much better.

[@justlolit]

I am using this as learning and a test to see if i am ready for an exam. With this in mind, an short (key point) examination would be useful for the questions.

[@jaysonlee5231]

This was an awesome vid and I'm looking forward to exploring your products. Especially the explanations with the answers.

[@jay9young87]

Really enjoyed your video. Is it possible that you could give a brief explanation of the correct answer please.

[@5p004y]

Excellent video. I like the measured pace of the questions, some creators rattle through them like it's a race. Some explanation of why each answer is correct or not would be helpful for learning though.

[@cloudvikings]

Thanks so much! Hope they help with your study review. 100% agree the answer explanation breakdown is important to understand the details of why certain options are correct/incorrect. The depth needed to get into this for each question and then have documentation sources to back everything up would take a while and likely make the video 4-5 times longer. In my practice exam course, I am in the process of creating the detailed answer explanations for these questions sampled in this video, and many more. cloudvikings.io/course/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-practice-exams-saa-c03 I hope to have all the detailed explanations and other full practice exam pools of questions done in the next few weeks.

Amazing question quality.. thank you very much buddy

About to start this video 😃Thank you so much for all your effort and dedication to teaching us all.

Awesome! All the best with your study and in 2024!

[@denislobo7553]

@cloudvikings: I'm also learning for the SAA-C03 exam, besides using your paid questions set, I'm using also AWS Skill builder to improve my knowledge. In Skill builder i can find multiple courses a) Solutions Architect - Knowledge Badge Readiness Path (~55h! lessons) and b) Exam Prep Standard Course: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate (SAA-C03) (~4,5h lessons). However the first one seems to provide much more in-depth information and also provides a test exam with ~50 questions. Those questions are much more difficult, than the test exam in the prep course. Also I realized, that the questions in your test exams are pretty much on the same difficulty level like in b). My question is now, can I assume that the real exam questions will be also "that easy". I would appreciate a lot, if you can shed some light on the purpose of "Solutions Architect - Knowledge Badge Readiness Path" and if this is really the optimal way to prepare for exam ?

[@AshishSingh-sp9tq]

Sir, please review question 33. The correct option should be D I believe. In option C, it uses NLB with CloudFront which is not compatible. NLB supports TCP/UDP traffic and CloudFront supports HTTP/HTTPS traffic. On contrary in option D, ALB supports HTTP/HTTPS traffic and so does CloudFront. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks!

[@ThatoMary-Ann]

Just bought the SAA practice exams course but i cant seem to find the functionality where i am able to choose document, canvas or both, option and all the other features

[@cloudvikings]

Hmm, I think you may be referring to the diagraming tool I was using when going through the sample questions in the video. The practice exams are like an exam simulator with just the questions and similar format and time constraints like you'd experience in the real exam. In this video, I was trying to showcase how you can use practice questions along with diagraming tools to help visualize the details of the question being asked as a study aid. There's a number of diagramming tools you could use if you think that type of study approach in combination with practice questions and just a general study aid to help visualize concepts is helpful for you. I was using eraser (eraser.io) if you liked that tool I was using in this video. It's my go-to for quick architecture diagrams. The AI generated diagram capabilities are so helpful for this sort of study aid use-case. There's a free tier that should do all you'd need for study purposes. I often simply use pen and paper as well to quickly sketch out concepts and mindmap type of diagrams to help make mental connections to what I'm learning.

[@dannyhd8301]

very great!!! , but what about the question with vpc cidr block , i beleive the answer is /29

[@cloudvikings]

Thanks! I beleive you're refering to question 11 about the smallest VPC CIDR block... AWS allows CIDR blocks between /16 and /28 ranges for VPC and Subnet IPv4 addressing: docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/vpc-cidr-blocks.html#vpc-sizing-ipv4 docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/subnet-sizing.html#subnet-sizing-ipv4 In the real-world, it would be rare to have a VPC or even a subnet this small. Don't forget that 5 IPs for every subnet are reserved, making the usable number of IPs very low with small CIDRs. docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/subnet-sizing.html#subnet-sizing-ipv4 However for this question #11, "D" would still be the correct answer with the /28 block. The question hints at this a bit, but also keep in mind the VPC peering connection requirements. Worth reviewing as part of your study if you're not familiar with them - docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/peering/vpc-peering-basics.html#vpc-peering-limitations

How does D option in the 1st question prevent creation of multiple unique orders?

[@cerebralgeneratedimagery5785]

Question: For number 22. What if for some reason the cpu intensive process happened at another time different from the end of the month. I thought the answer should be B, based on cpu utilisation?

[@eriksimonyan2682]

Brilliant! You have done a great job! Have 90% from this test and feel much more confident. Got a question for you. Do you think the real exam questions are harder or the same level? Greetings from Armenia.

[@cloudvikings]

Great work! The difficulty level will be similar to these questions.

[@eriksimonyan2682]

Thank you again. Passed the exam today with 862/1000.

[@cloudvikings]

@@eriksimonyan2682 Congrats! Great work! There’s a fair amount of topic overlap with the other associate level exams. You could tackle those quickly given all the SAA material is fresh in your memory if you’re planning on doing other AWS certs.

[@dk36281]

thank you

[@anandhprakashp3758]

@cloudvikings In the question 33, it doesn't say about which protocol they are using it either UDP or Http. so why can't the option "D" will be correct (using Application Load balancer)? Can you please clarify?

[@BuddhikaJayasingha]

I had the same question. How can we decide wether it's layer 4 or layer 7, I don't see any clue. Any help would appreciated.

[@Lake669]

Sorry but without giving an explanation to the answer it is so pointless! Plus having you read all the Q and A is a waste of time for you and for us!

[@japhetukaegbu287]

Question 13 answer is B (Amazon fsx file gateway)

[@hippolyte1098]

Nope. I hope you are still learning

[@priyankapani9750]

I am from India. Tomorrow I have aws SAA exam. Hope this video will help me. Thank you for uploading this valuable video

[@cloudvikings]

Great! Yes, just take your time to ensure you understand why the answers are correct or incorrect. These questions along with other SAA-C03 practice exams are available in a more realistic exam simulator here: cloudvikings.io/course/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-practice-exams-saa-c03 The SAA practice exams there are also timed so you get familiar with how to pace yourself for the real AWS SAA certification exam. Good luck!

[@shanmugasundaramveerapathi7589]

Very Good questions, one clarification needed for question number 10 Option D, using a stored volume gateway, may not be as efficient for local access as it keeps all data locally and may not meet the requirement for securely transferring data to AWS. Therefore, option C is the most suitable choice for this scenario. Option C is the correct answer, Am I right?

[@victorchengula6930]

Stored volume gateway Asynchronous Backup to AWS the entire dataset is available for low-latency access on premises while also being backed up asynchronously to Amazon S3. Option D is right

[@priyankapani9750]

Sir , I have one doubt question 33 NLB is suitable for UDP TCP connections but cloud front doesn't support. Cloud front only supports http https. So how cloud front can work with NLB? I think answer should be D Can you please explain me why the answer is C not D

[@cloudvikings]

Hi, thanks for the question and great catch! I think I got the Global Accelerator vs. Cloudfront answers crossed up in recording. Using NLBs as the on-premesis addressing endpoints is correct here, but we'd want to use the Global Accelerator here instead for this scenaro... So "A" should be the correct choice NLB w/ Global Accelerator. Have a quick read through this FAQ for Global Accelerator and I think you'll see where this question is based on and supporting information for answer "A" for this question scenario. - aws.amazon.com/global-accelerator/faqs/

[@thejaswarup]

Q11 should be B

[@WilliamJAMP]

Question 11: Can anyone tell me why B) 172.31.100.0 is not the right answer? 1- A /30 block is smaller than a /28 range and, 2- anywhere between 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 is in the private realm no?
