Been working on this off and on for about a year (this was not my first attempt). 

Primary resources:

- Internal AWS training
- Neal Davis books and Udemy practice exams 

I barely passed because I had to rush through the exam due to trying to finish before my laptop ran out of power. I had missplaced my laptop charger two days before the exam and the camera was not working on my other laptop which is required when taking an exam from home. Quite a mess, but I made it. 

Next: AWS Certified AI Practitioner
Alphabet soup from (ISC)2, ISACA, GIAC, EC-Council, Microsoft, ITIL, Cisco, Scrum, CompTIA, AWS

    Congrats, looks like a good cert to have.   I might look into, in additional to some Azure.

    @Axton - I only did it because it is required for my role and I receive vouchers as an AWS employee. Actually I prefer vendor agnostic certs (ISC2, ISACA, GIAC). If you are currently hands on with AWS or aiming for a role that will be then definitely go for it.

    Even better when it does not come out your own pocket.   You wouldn't happen to have a spare position in your pocket??  in West Texas.

    Don't want to think about the "firing", but something to consider.   Let me get a bit of training under my belt.   Thanks.
