This exam validates an examinee’s ability to:  \n• Identify and gather requirements in order to define a solution to be built using architecture best practices.  \n• Provide guidance on architectural best practices to developers and system administrators throughout the lifecycle of the project.  \nThe knowledge and skills required at this level should include all of the following areas and objective components. The knowledge level can be defined as including the majority of the following skills or qualities:  \nAWS Knowledge  \n• Hands-on experience using compute, networking, storage, and database AWS services  \n• Professional experience architecting large-scale distributed systems  \n• Understanding of elasticity and scalability concepts  \n• Understanding of the AWS global infrastructure  \n• Understanding of network technologies as they relate to AWS  \n• A good understanding of all security features and tools that AWS provides and how they relate to traditional services  \n• A strong understanding of client interfaces to the AWS platform  \n• Hands-on experience with AWS deployment and management services  \nGeneral IT Knowledge  \n• Excellent understanding of typical multi-tier architectures: web servers , caching, application servers, load balancers , and storage  \n• Understanding of Relational Database Management System ( RDBMS) and NoSQL  \n• Knowledge of message queuing and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)  \n• Familiarity with loose coupling and stateless systems  \n• Understanding of different consistency models in distributed systems  \n• Knowledge of Content Delivery Networks (CDN)  \n• Hands-on experience with core LAN/WAN network technologies  \n• Experience with route tables, access control lists, firewalls, NAT, [HTTP](HTTP), DNS, IP and OSI Network  \n• Knowledge of RESTful Web Services, XML, JSON  \n• Familiarity with the software development lifecycle  \n• Work experience with information and application security concepts, mechanisms, and tools  \n• Awareness of end-user computing and collaborative technologies  \nThese training courses or other equivalent methodologies will assist in exam preparation:  \n• Architecting on AWS ([aws.amazon.com/training/architect](aws.amazon.com/training/architect))  \n• In-depth knowledge or training in at least one high-level programming language  \n• AWS Cloud Computing Whitepapers ([aws.amazon.com/whitepapers](aws.amazon.com/whitepapers))  \no Overview of Amazon Web Services  \no Overview of Security Processes  \no AWS Risk & Compliance Whitepaper  \no Storage Options in the Cloud  \no Architecting for the AWS Cloud: Best Practices  \n• Experience deploying hybrid systems with on-premises and AWS components  \n• Use of the AWS Architecture Center website ([aws.amazon.com/architecture](aws.amazon.com/architecture))  \nNote This examination blueprint includes weighting, test objectives, and example content. Example topics and concepts are included to clarify the test objectives; they should not be construed as a comprehensive listing of all of the content of this examination.  \nThe table below lists the domains measured by this examination and the extent to which they are represented.  \n\n| Domain | % of Examination |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1.0 Designing highly available, cost-efficient, fault-tolerant, scalable systems | 60% |\n| 2.0 Implementation/Deployment | 10% |\n| 3.0 Data Security | 20% |\n| 4.0 Troubleshooting | 10% |\n| TOTAL | 100% |\n\nResponse Limits  \nThe examinee selects—from four or more response options—the one or multiple options that best complete the statement or answer the question. Distracters , or wrong answers , are response options that examinees withincomplete knowledge or skill would probably choose, and are generally plausible responses that fit into the content area defined by the test objective.  \nTest item formats used in this examination are:  \n• Multiple-ch","cbCaimO9c122QCk2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimO9c122QCk2","pdf",119067,"English","# Introduction\n## AWS Knowledge\n## General IT Knowledge\n## Preparation Resources\n## Domains and Weighting\n# Response Limits and Test Item Formats\n# Content Limits by Domain","[{\"question\":\"What role is the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate exam designed for?\",\"answer\":\"The exam is intended for individuals who perform a Solutions Architect role.
