About

Cert Notes is a study site for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) and Solutions Architect - Associate (SAA-C03) exams. It's built around one idea: most study material teaches you to pass the test, and stops there. This site tries to do both — get you through the exam, and tell you where the exam's simplified answer diverges from what you'd actually do in a production account.

It's written by a practicing AWS engineer with several years of hands-on production experience, holding the Cloud Practitioner and Solutions Architect Associate certifications. Every service note and practice question is written and verified by hand against current AWS documentation — see Methodology for exactly how, and how to read the verification dates on each page. There's no course to buy, no account to make, and no mailing list. The site is free and supported by ads. If you find a mistake or something that's gone stale, let me know
