&lt;p&gt;Just one week after the &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://dominik.wombacher.cc/posts/aws-certified-devops-engineer-professional.html"&gt;AWS DevOps Engineer Professional&lt;/a&gt;
I also passed the &lt;strong&gt;AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional&lt;/strong&gt; exam.
I prefer to take such exams close to each other. There is always some overlap
in content and concepts. Also, when I'm already in study mode it's
easier for me to continue. Long breaks just kill momentum.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Again, &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://www.tutorialsdojo.com"&gt;Tutorials Dojo&lt;/a&gt; was my
resource of choice for the necessary study material.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Exam prep was a bit dryer compared to the DevOps Pro.
The SA role isn't only about tech and in general pretty broad.
So even though you don't have to know individual topics in-depth and
with every detail, you need to learn about a broad set of services
and best practices to put them together to a useful solution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was still very valuable and in combination with DevOps Pro it
pushed my understanding and confidence about AWS services.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="section" id="summary"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Summary&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earners of this certification have an extensive understanding of designing technical strategies to
accomplish specific business goals. They demonstrated the ability to balance best practices and
trade-offs based on business context. Badge owners are able to design solutions across multiple
platforms and providers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After a few weeks of preparation I've passed the &lt;strong&gt;AWS Devops Engineer Professional&lt;/strong&gt; Exam.
I enjoyed most of the studying. There were just a couple of topics that
are a bit dry and harder to go through. Overall it was interesting and valuable
to dive deep into AWS services and tooling around DevOps. Quite obvious that
serverless technologies like Lambda or DynamoDB and AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild,
CodeDeploy and the like have a strong focus in the Exam.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Similar as for the Associate Exams, I used the Practice Exam and eBook from &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://www.tutorialsdojo.com"&gt;Tutorials Dojo&lt;/a&gt;
to study and prepare. For me that was all I needed, I found other courses too time consuming given that I already have a lot of AWS knowledge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As always, studying for the exam helped me to get new architecture and integration ideas.
For example NeuVector by SUSE and AWS CodePipeline, stay tuned, I will share something soon ;)&lt;/p&gt;
