Amazon AWS DevOps Engineer Professional – Course Wrap-up

1. Save 50% on your AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional Exam …

So I want to show you a little trick that not many people know and that will allow you to save up to 50% on your exam cost if you have done an exam before. So in case you have already passed an aws certification and you go to the benefits tab, you can see a lot of benefits. And in there, at the very bottom, there is an aws exam discount benefit, which gives you 50% discount on your next exam. And to claim a benefit, you just click on Claim Benefit. And what this will do is that it will create a code for you. And that code you can use to get 50% off your next exam.

So let me claim a benefit right now. And as you can see now, the code has been here, so now I need to use this code. So for this, let me go back to my metrics and I’m going to schedule a new exam. I’m going to use C psi and go directly to the exam I want to schedule. And this works on any exam as far as I can tell.So, for example, I’ll go ahead and book the devops exam. So here is my exam, and as you can see, it’s €270 for me. So in the voucher discount coupon, I’m going to enter the discount code I got from before. So from the benefits and this token right here. And as you can see now, I got 50% off, so it became €135 afterwards.

So I just saved €135 just by doing this little trick. And so many people don’t know about this, and so they end up spending more for the exam. That what they need. So remember, once you pass an exam successfully, you will get access to these discount benefits and then use them accordingly on the exam. You want to save up to 50% on your exam costs. So hopefully it just saves you a lot of money, and hopefully that’s helpful for you to do more elite certifications. So if you like this tip, just let me know and I will see you in the next lecture.

2. Get an Extra 30 Minutes on your AWS Exam – Non Native English Spea…

One thing that I think is really cool and worth doing is that if you’re not a native English speaker like me, I’m French, then you can request a special exam accommodation that will allow you to get an extra 30 minutes on your A list certification exams. So I’m going to click on Request accommodation, and for the request type, I can say what I want. And what I want is esl plus 30 minutes. This is available only to nonnative English speakers while taking an exam in English. Okay? And you only need to apply once, and it will apply for all future exam registrations. So we have esl plus 30 minutes. This is great. And then I click on create and here we go.

I have requested my extra 30 minutes from exams, so it will go ahead and be approved directly. So here we go. And it doesn’t expire. And so this is only for future exam. So if you have somehow booked an exam before applying for this exam accommodation, please make sure to cancel your request. This is free. And then rebook your exam afterwards. And this will get applied to 30 minutes extra to your exam as well. All right, so that’s it for this lecture. I hope you liked it. And good luck for your exam. I will see you in the next lecture.

3. Next Steps – AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional

Okay, so you’re almost ready for your exam. So congratulations on finishing this course. So you have covered all the domains in this exam. So really, really congratulations. Hopefully you learned a lot of new things. Make sure you revisit the lectures and practice as much as possible, okay? If you don’t understand something, if something looks unclear, please go back to the lecture as much as you can. There is a good extra resource you can do, which is the AWS Exam readiness Course, which is is available for free online at AWS training. And here’s a url. And another good resource to do is to read the AWS devops blog. So in this course, we have used a lot of these blogs as a guideline because obviously the exam is getting a lot inspired by these blogs.

So having a look at these blogs, reading them,understanding the kind of architectures that as a devops, you have to create and enable on AWS is extremely helpful to making sure that you have a good preparation for the exam. So, just a final note that the devops exam is extremely hard. I find it really, really hard myself and will test your experience. So this is not something you can fake and this is why I have made this course to be all hands on, okay? As much as I can. So practice, practice, practice. If you just sit back and watch this course and don’t do anything, maybe you won’t learn as much. So try to practice alongside with me. Make sure you understand exactly what I’m doing, because practice is what the exam will test you on. So on this, go register for the exam and I wish you the best of luck.
