This book is the second volume of AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Exam Success Guide. In this volume, you'll continue your lessons on Amazon Web Services. I'll give you special exam preparation tips in Chapter 10 to help you complete your preparation and fast-track your AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam success. The great thing about the cloud practitioner exam is it's very suitable for people coming from many different backgrounds. So, it doesn't matter if you have little or no technical experience, or if you do have a technical background and you're looking to transition your skill sets into the cloud.
Whatever background you're coming from, the two volumes of my guide are all you need. If you've not read the first volume, please order it now and read it first. Everything you need is both volumes. They will help you pass your exam. You're not in this alone because I'm going to help you through it. My support link is at the end of this book for you to contact me any time if you need further help.
Whatever your preferred learning style, I've also got you covered. If you're a visual learner, you'll love my clear diagrams and illustrations throughout this book. You'll enjoy the facts I present to you and the cheat sheets I created because they have exam specific information in them. If you're a practical learner, you'll love my hands-on lessons so that you can get practical with AWS and learn in a hands-on way.
About the hands-on lessons, there are two different types of practical lesson in this volume. The first one is a demo. A demo is a pure demonstration in which I show you something, but you don't need to follow along. The reason I do that is that there are a few examples of where I want to show you something visually so that I can demonstrate to you some feature of AWS. But the set up might be a bit more complex than the cloud practitioner exam requires. Although there are just a few of those, they're a useful way to show you some things.
Now, the other one is a hands-on lesson. A hands-on lesson is a follow-along, so you can go through AWS in your own free tier account and build on AWS. It will give you practical experience, which is really the best way to learn and become competent.
At the end of each chapter of this volume, you'll find a lesson with links to cheat sheets and quizzes that you can use to test yourself as you go through the lessons. There's often an exam cram lesson as well at the end of each chapter. This is a fast-paced run through of the cool facts ideal for quick revision before you sit your exam.
At the end of this volume, I also provide a link to download training resources, graphics and screenshots used in this book, cheat sheets, assessment tests, practice exams, and other helpful documents. You can use them for quick references and revision as well. In this volume, I also provide a link to full-length practice exams so you can test yourself and see if you're ready to sit the real thing. So, if you've read volume one, get started with volume 2 right now. I really hope you'll enjoy it.
