In order to prepare for the SysOps Associate and the Solutions Architect Professional certifications, I intended to take two weeks vacation and spend every available minute studying and practicing. However, I was told that I could not take vacation, but had to be on call at least two hours a day. Still, a generous proposal, but I ended up spending much more time at work than I had thought, and the SysOps exam was more challenging that I expected. As I began to prepare for the SA-Pro, the linuxacademy.com lecturer was adamant that I don't schedule until 2-3 weeks after I complete the course so I could practice and do the additional reading and practice tests. I had already booked the test, so the best compromise is to reschedule for a month from now. That gives me this week to finish the videos, and the rest of the time to practice. This blog is part of the reflection and practice process. I hope it might be interesting to some out there who are pursuing AWS certifications.
