[@dhaxabbas796]

Thank you for your effort Mike. I just passed the exam today (Sept. 14) and majority of questions came from Well-architected framework, AWS shared responsibility and AWS Global infrastructure. AWS Cloud Adoption Framework would be a good read to ace some tricky questions. Some of Qs here were just re-worded in the actual exam so be sure to read between the lines to fully understand and get the correct answer. Best of luck to everyone.

Huge congrats Kev! If you're looking to continue your AWS certification journey beyond the CCP, my advice would be to aim for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate very soon. There's quite a bit of overlap, and with the CCP done, you'll transition well into the associate exam topic scope. I found if I took a long break between progressing to the next certification exam it was a lot harder since I had to re-learn a lot of topics again. Keep the momentum while the information is fresh in your memory. Good luck with the next step in your cloud voyage and reach out if there are ever any questions!

[@sameerkhawaja8947]

Hi! Great and helpful content! Regarding Q47: shouldn't the answer be AWS Service health dashboard? Since personal health dashboard only provides events for a single account.

[@cloudvikings]

Thanks! This is exactly what I was trying to get to with the wording of Q47...so great question and thinking on your part! The key is in the wording of "...resources a company uses". So, for a given AWS account, receiving AWS health alerts just for the resources or services they are using. The service health dashboard is good at alerting across broad AWS service events, but there may be events that wouldn't impact all customers. Like AWS may be experiencing some high API error rates for Amazon Macie, but unless you're actually using that service, those event notifications are just distracting noise. The Personal Health Dashboard however is a bit more aware of what resource are being utilized within an AWS account and will provide AWS service status events just for what you are using, reducing the noise and alerts for services you likely don't care about. aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/faqs/?nc=sn&loc=6#AWS_Personal_Health_Dashboard Q: How is AWS Personal Health Dashboard different from the AWS Service Health Dashboard? The Service Health Dashboard is a good way to view the overall status of each AWS service, but provides little in terms of how the health of those services is impacting your resources. AWS Personal Health Dashboard provides a personalized view of the health of the specific services that are powering your workloads and applications. What’s more, Personal Health Dashboard proactively notifies you when AWS experiences any events that may affect you, helping provide quick visibility and guidance to help you minimize the impact of events in progress, and plan for any scheduled changes, such as AWS hardware maintenance. Q47 is a bit vague though and "a company" could of course have many AWS accounts as part of their overall AWS infrastructure design, so you're right in the fact that PHD would be account specific. Different resources may be used in different AWS accounts which is quite a common practice. Like there are often specific "Security" or "Audit" accounts along with a variety of dev/qa/pre-prod type of accounts which may all differ with what AWS resources are being used in them. The PHD event alerts can help isolate what AWS account may be impacted by the event. For a large enterprise with 100+ AWS accounts, imagine getting an event that AWS Sagemaker was unavailable in a specific AWS region. From an operations/DevOps team perspective, getting alerts specific to the accounts that use that service in that region is very helpful to quickly understand impacts and what is affected, rather than trying to comb through 100+ accounts to know which ones are using that service or not. In the real-world, both the SHD and PHD alerts are typically used in combination to stay on top of any issues AWS may be having. There's a number of automation you can incorporate with the SHD/PHD events to notify your operations teams through Slack or other channels and trigger a chain of events like opening support tickets, etc. This is one example of building a bit of a AWS health monitoring solution around the AWS Health events - aws.amazon.com/blogs/mt/aws-health-aware-customize-aws-health-alerts-for-organizational-and-personal-aws-accounts/ This is a long answer to your question, but hope that helps!

[@carinechase3050]

@cloud vikings, thank you for making and sharing the vidoe. Can you please review and advise on Question 48, choose 3 answers for Well architected framework of the Reliabiltiy pillar. A - Stop guessing capacity, this should be under the benefit of cloud computing, D - Automatically recover from failur, this is correct E - Managing changes through automation, I think this should be under operational excellence pillar? I think there should be only one answer which is D. Operational Excellence Pillar The operational excellence pillar focuses on running and monitoring systems, and continually improving processes and procedures. Key topics include automating changes, responding to events, and defining standards to manage daily operations.

[@ayaanabdi7604]

That's what I thought too, D instead of A

[@Unholyknightzz]

B. Learn from all operational failures D. Automatically recover from failure E. Manage change through automation These principles align with the reliability pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework. The framework emphasizes the ability to recover from infrastructure or service disruptions, dynamically acquire computing resources to meet demand, and mitigate disruptions such as misconfigurations or transient network issues.

I think there is an error in Q51. AWS Step Functions lets you orchestrate multiple AWS services into serverless workflows. They do not enable serverless workflows. I think AWS lambda enables them.

[@aminsiddiqueeakib2977]

[@Unholyknightzz]

Because lambda is not able to create workflow

[@sejala4266]

i think the answer for 50th question is s3 standard infrequent access.it is used for data that is accessed less frequently but required rapid access when needed.

[@cloudvikings]

You’re right about the use case for S3-IA storage, but for question 50, note the hints about needing to “archive” storage, it may only get accessed once a year, and the main point, the lowest cost option. If you price out the storage costs of S3-IA vs. Glacier options (even if that data is accessed once a year), S3-IA wouldn’t be the best option here.

[@TheRemnantChurch-ce1ei]

Question 18 has some issues. Aws WAF also prevents DDoS, same as AWS shield Then your question has its correct answers terribly tilted towards option D. Its easy to just guess the correct answer

[@christophercricket2502]

I thought the same about 18 but going back in my notes from class I see that Shield is SPECIFICALLY for preventing DDoS attacks ... so it would be the best answer.

Great work. This video will give you an example of what to expect. I’d encourage you to review any services that come up in the answer options if you’re not familiar with them. Go beyond the question itself a bit on any unfamiliar services mentioned. If you look for the FAQ page in the AWS documentation for a given service, skimming through that will fill you in on the core areas fast. I don’t think over-learning this stuff is a bad thing, especially if you plan to do the associate level ones next. You’ll have a great foundation to build to jump right into the next certification.

Support plans can be modified through the managment console, with proper IAM permissions or as the root user. docs.aws.amazon.com/awssupport/latest/user/changing-support-plans.html "You can use the AWS Support Plans console to change your support plan for your AWS account. To change your support plan, you must have AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions or sign in to your account as a root user." Other root user tasks for reference: docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/root-user-tasks.html Based on the actions mentioned in the question and our choices of possible answers, B & E are the best fit. "A" is a distractor. IAM service itself can not be disabled on an account.

[@mortal1501]

[@indupriya5549]

Regarding question number 26 : shouldn't the answer be inspector as the question describes the service which helps to monitor the threats not taking actions for that threat.

[@cloudvikings]

D - Amazon GuardDuty would still be the best answer here AWS Inspector is primarily focused on software vulnerabilities within a given workload scope. GuardDuty is more about overall threat detection within the AWS account. GuardDuty can help enable automated remediation of threats, but doesn't necessarily take actions for a given threat by default. You could use the GuardDuty API along with CloudWatch events or even chain together an entire threat alert and remediation pipeline with EventBridge and Lambda functions. aws.amazon.com/inspector/faqs/?nc=sn&loc=6 Q: What is Amazon Inspector? Amazon Inspector is an automated vulnerability management service that continually scans Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), AWS Lambda functions, and container workloads for software vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure. aws.amazon.com/guardduty/faqs/#product-faqs#guardduty-faqs#service-overview Q: What is Amazon GuardDuty? GuardDuty is an intelligent threat detection service that continuously monitors your AWS accounts, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, AWS Lambda functions, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters, Amazon Aurora login activity, and data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for malicious activity. If potential malicious activity, such as anomalous behavior, credential exfiltration, or command and control infrastructure (C2) communication is detected, GuardDuty generates detailed security findings that can be used for security visibility and assisting in remediation. Additionally, using the Amazon GuardDuty Malware Protection feature helps to detect malicious files on Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes attached to Amazon EC2 instance and container workloads.

Q 24. Here it mentions 'Host' OS and not guest guest OS , so shouldn't it be AWS?

[@JaNeeDiahann1225]

came to the comments for this exact question lol

[@triptichhetri]

I am a bit confused by the answer that was chosen for question #24. A customer is trying to patch host operating system of an EC2 instance. Based on the AWS shared responsibility model, who is responsible? Isn't the answer supposed to be AWS, since the question says host OS? Can someone explain?

[@SaiKrishna-vs2pw]

AWS's Responsibility: AWS is responsible for the security of the cloud, which includes the physical infrastructure, hypervisors, and the host operating system that runs the hypervisor. But not the operating system patches on ec2, if you remember when we launch and connected to it,we use commands to update the system.

[@Sarah-ec7bc]

Can you explain why in Q19 AWS Config can help you find out who change the SG configuration? Per web description, AWS Config only reports what configs has changed and how. Thanks.

[@cloudvikings]

Great point and you're correct, however this was one of those (choose two) questions. Using Config along with CloudTrail, you could figure out what changed, then use the integration with CloudTrail to determine which user identity issued the API calls for the changes. - docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/security-logging-and-monitoring.html

@@cloudvikings Thanks!

[@liteshbashire]

I have doubt in Q 24 . I think the answer would be A ) AWS AWS is responsible for host OS and Customer is responsible for guest OS

[@cloudvikings]

Thanks for posting the question here. You are 100% correct that for the underlying hypervisor host OS of the physical server, AWS is responsible for that. For the EC2 INSTANCE however (being the "guest" virtual machine on that physical server), the customer is responsible for the patching. My use of "host operating system" in the question is likely too vague, but I feel the clue of "...of an EC2 instance" (the guest virtual machine we interact with as AWS customers) still leaves C) The customer as the correct answer. Either way, the important thing is your understanding of the differences. By your question here, you have a great understanding of the different virtualization layers that come into play between a hypervisor host and the virtual machines that run on it, along with the shared responsibility model. Let me know if you disagree with any other questions as you go through the rest of it. Thanks again for the question as it will help others viewing it as well!

Q.24 says the patching the host OS not the guest OS, answer is AWS only.

[@jotaro9664]

minimum downtime = high availability

[@cloudvikings]

Cost explorer is incorrect. I’ll paste my response from another comment on this for reference… In the context of the question here, A) Cost Explorer would not be the best answer. In the question, the example company has services in an on-premises datacenter or office, and they want to know what it would cost to run those same services on AWS. The scenaro here is they have no historical cost information already in AWS for these workloads. Cost Explorer has some basic forecasting capabilities, however, these cost forecasts are based on past cost and usage data (which for new workloads not running in AWS already like the company in the question would not have). So, if you are trying to calculate what resources in AWS would cost, with no historical cost and usage data already in AWS for those resources, then the AWS Pricing Calculator tool can help determine what the resources would cost to run in AWS. Now, once the workload(s) are migrated into AWS and run there for a few months, then you could use Cost Explorer to use that historical cost info and generate forward looking forecasts of spend based on the trends seen in the past usage data. Hope that helps!

[@liteshbashire]

can you pls explain Q.50

[@cloudvikings]

If we think about this in a more real-world scenario, this may be some media production company, or videography company, looking for a cheap way to have additional off-site backup of their videos by storing them in AWS. They have on-premises storage, likey some form of NAS solution that they primarily work from. So these videos backed-up in S3 are not needed on a day-to-day basis, they're just there in S3 as a secondary backup and they want to keep these storage costs as low as possible. However, should their on-premises NAS storage fail or become unavailable, it is critical that they have access to the video files right away for their projects. S3 has a variety of storage classes, each with pros and cons. The tradeoffs are generally cost vs. availability and/or speed of retrieval of the objects. Take a quick read through the S3 storage classes first, then review the pricing details for each tier: aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/ aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/?nc=sn&loc=4 In the pricing guide, note the description with each storage class table heading, as it provides a good reference for the use-case scenario for each storage class. For this question, the lowest cost storage option that would still allow instant retrieval of the video file objects would be B) S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval ..."S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval delivers the fastest access to archive storage, with the same throughput and milliseconds access as the S3 Standard..."

Web identity federation provies a more dynamic way to authenticate mobile end-users with an AWS external identiy provider (like Google, etc.) and federate access to the necessary AWS resources app would need for that given user. Behind the scenes, Cognito interacts with IAM (typically IAM roles), but doesn't have the same web identity federation capabilites directly. All this is way beyond the depth of the CCP scope, but here are some links to dive into this a bit: docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_providers_oidc.html docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_providers_oidc_cognito.html docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-scenarios.html At the end of the day, for the CCP scope, if you see questions around "mobile identity" or "mobile apps" in the context of authentication, the answer will most likely be something that mentions Amazon Cognito.

[@cloudvikings]

Assuming you've gone through some course(s) already or have some on-the job experience, you'll be in a really good spot to take the real exam if you did well on this practice one. Just ensure you have a high-level understanding of all the services mentioned in the practice exam, even if they weren't the right answer for the given question. I'd also spend a bit of time on the Well-Architected pillar design principles, and have a quick read through of the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework capabilities and perspectives - aws.amazon.com/cloud-adoption-framework/ I'd book the exam if you haven't already for a week or two out, then use the time to review some other courses and maybe do another practice exam, you'll be in amazing shape! All the best!

[@cloudvikings]

With this question, I tried to highlight the HTTP protocol traffic. ALB operates at layer 7 and provides more features for HTTP traffic. This page will be a good reference, especially the summary table comparing the different load balancers. - aws.amazon.com/compare/the-difference-between-the-difference-between-application-network-and-gateway-load-balancing/#seo-faq-pairs#summary-of-differences-application-network-and-gateway-load-balancing

q35 chatgpt is saying a option is incorrect can anybody tell me which one is correct?

[@cloudvikings]

Check out the AWS Local Zones FAQ page - aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/localzones/faqs/?nc=sn&loc=5 The first question in the FAQ closely aligns to the question in the practice exam and that A) is the best answer here. ChatGPT is a great study aid, but be aware it's a few years behind as it's trained on data only as current as Sept 2021. Many AWS services and latest features added to a given service are not known to ChatGPT and many other LLMs, simply because the did not exist yet based on the training data, so use caution and always verify the information if you're using ChatGPT as part of your study aids. If you enable Web functionalty or use various plugins to get current search results the results can be a bit more current, but it's been wrong many times in my experience, or due to the very similar AWS service names, it can confuse features between services in it's responses. So again, be very clear in your prompts and always verify the responses against the latest AWS documentation.

Good question! The question is specifcally noting for EC2 instances. Security Groups work at the Elastic Network Interface (ENI) level for an instance and can provide stateful filtering of traffic. AWS WAF is more protection at an application level and typically integrated with ALB, API Gateway, and CloudFront. aws.amazon.com/waf/faqs/ aws.amazon.com/vpc/faqs/#Security_and_Filtering

for question 36 why is the answer lighsail and not batch

[@cloudvikings]

It's a choose two question. Both AWS Batch and Amazon Lightsail are the correct services within the compute category.

[@fatimasohail9717]

could you please explain why both are the correct answers@@cloudvikings

[@cloudvikings]

@@fatimasohail9717 Sure, AWS Batch and Lightsail are AWS services that are focused on computational processing. AWS has hundreds of different services today, and they catagorize them into their core functions, like Compute, Databases, Storage, and so forth. As a reference, you can use the AWS product categories to filter on these different categories of AWS services to help narrow down the scope. aws.amazon.com/products/?hp=tile&so-exp=below&aws-products-all.sort-by=item.additionalFields.productNameLowercase&aws-products-all.sort-order=asc&awsf.re%3AInvent=*all&awsf.Free%20Tier%20Type=*all&awsf.tech-category=tech-category%23compute For example if you were looking for a database solution, you could change that filter from Compute to Databases, and get a list of all the AWS services focused on Databases. AWS Batch is primarily for batch processing of compute workloads and Lightsail provides virtual private server instances to customers to run a variety of application stacks on them. These best fit into the "Compute" category and you'll see these referenced in that AWS product category, making those answers the correct choices for this question.

[@chicotorres4862]

Why is 19) NOT E & C????

[@cloudvikings]

CloudWatch on it's own would not help determine if a SG has been changed. AWS Config is purpose built to record changes occuring with your AWS environment. You could in theory have CloudTrail logs feeding into a CloudWatch log group and creating an alarm based on the CloudTrail logs when it finds a SG rule change, but it's more overhead, and the question in this case isn't really about near real-time alerts. If you just want a low-overhead, reactive way of checking if something changed in your environment, Config is a good option to find this out and can be quickly cross referenced with CloudTrail to see who performed that change. To be clear, you're not wrong that CT and CW could be used together to accomplish this, but for the context of this question, where the company may not already have CT and CW logs and a custom alert rule created and just want a way to see what changed, B & E I feel are the best low overhead choices. Beyond the scope of the question, AWS config helps in real-world situations like this, offering the ability to create custom rules to detect when specific changes are made or new resources are configured in a non-compliant way (Ex. a SG allow rule has port 22 inbound access from the internet from any source IP. You can then trigger automated remediation events to revert the change if needed. The CloudTrail->CloudWatch Logs approach could in theory accomplish this as well, but the complexity of the log filters could get difficult to maintain at large scales. Another approach may be CloudTrail -> Eventbridge, capturing the CloudTrail API events and creating trigger alerts when specific API events occur.

[@JT4NN3R]

Sigh.... okay look. I'm not doing well on this test and I honestly feel like this is more your fault than mine. There's so much course material in these questions that is either barely touched upon or completely non-existent in your CCP course. What are Outpost racks? When did we go over the different Health Dashboards and their differences? Why didn't you just make lesson on the different pillars or the 6 perspectives instead of sending us to do homework? To me, the test is either too difficult and nuanced, or your course is missing some crucial information. I hope it's the former because making a "full course" video on youtube but not providing all the information the exam covers seems quite redundant to me. I've been taking practice tests across the internet and most just don't seem this wordy and cute to me. Thanks but at the same time...woof.

[@cloudvikings]

Most of these practice exam questions here are A LOT more wordy or "cute" than you can expect on the real exam. Don't get discouraged! AWS Outposts for example, doesn't appear as a service listed in the CCP exam guide - d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-cloud-practitioner/AWS-Certified-Cloud-Practitioner_Exam-Guide.pdf (Appendix section at the end) Now, if you notice at the top of that Appendix section in the above exam guide it states: "The following is a non-exhaustive list of the tools and technologies that could appear on the exam. This list is subject to change and is provided to help you understand the general scope of services, features, or technologies on the exam." So there _could_ be other services that pop up in the exam questions (usually as wrong distractor answers), but in this practice exam video, I'm trying to call out a variety of other AWS services you may not have seen before. Services that aren't specifically in scope for the CCP exam to learn, but you would have surface-level exposure to able to recognize that "oh that service is for X and has nothing to do with the question being asked here", just in case any weird stuff gets thrown at you in the exam. The "Full" course is focused on learning the core CCP domains and topic areas in the exam guide. I created the course lessons mapped directly to these domain areas and weighted them a bit to the topic areas I experienced taking the exam and feedback from others that have. Knowing these areas covered in the lessons will give you 90%+ coverage of the exam questions. I've included a lot of questions here to intentionally confuse some of the possible answers to get students to recognize subtle differences between answers based on the details of the question. Sometimes there is more than one answer that would be technically correct, but there will be a specific requirement called out like "...the lowest cost option..." to consider. The actual CCP exam questions will not be as tricky or subtle as the practice questions in this video. As for the homework aspect, my intent in the course and in the practice exam here was to force students to review AWS documentation and get familiar with navigating where to find this material. I feel this combined effort of video lessons and active-learning homework situations will serve students to have a broader understanding of the services and be better prepared for on-the-job scenarios of needing to reference and look up details about various areas. You may be like me and primarily a visual learner, so I get the desire to have everything covered in a more video form. In my future courses, I'll certainly try to weave a tighter blend of video lessons coverage to unguided homework activites. So again, don't get discouraged with your results in the practice exam here, but at the same time, spend a little extra time digging into some of these unfamiliar services or topic areas. If you over-learn some topics a bit, great! You're more prepared for an interview or job role and have a deeper base to move on to an associate-level exam. Don't try and rush through just to get the cert. Consider how these topic areas would come up in the real world. To judge the real CCP exam difficulty, a good reference to look at is the official AWS CCP exam practice questions. You'll see how much more simplified the questions are and it will likely ease your mind a bit compared to my practice exam video - explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/external/view/elearning/12483/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-practice-question-set-clf-c01-english
