This exam validates an examinee’s ability to effectively demonstrate knowledge of how to architect and deploy secure and robust applications on AWS technologies.  \nIt validates an examinee’s ability to:  \n􀁸 Define a solution using architectural design principles based on customer requirements.  \n􀁸 Provide implementation guidance based on best practices to an organization throughout the lifecycle of a project.  \nRecommended AWS Knowledge  \n􀁸 One year of hands-on experience designing available, cost-effective, fault-tolerant, and scalable distributed systems on AWS.  \n􀁸 Hands-on experience using compute, networking, storage, and database AWS services.  \n􀁸 Hands-on experience with AWS deployment and management services.  \n􀁸 Ability to identify and define technical requirements for an AWS-based application.  \n􀁸 Ability to identify which AWS services meet a given technical requirement.  \n􀁸 Knowledge of recommended best practices for building secure and reliable applications on the AWS platform.  \n􀁸 An understanding of the basic architectural principles of building in the AWS Cloud.  \n􀁸 An understanding of the AWS global infrastructure.  \n􀁸 An understanding of network technologies as they relate to AWS.  \n􀁸 An understanding of security features and tools that AWS provides and how they relate to traditional services.  \nExam Preparation  \nAWS Training: Browse the training website for exam preparatory courseware on architecting.  \nAWS Whitepapers: Complement courseware with whitepapers.  \nExam Content  \nResponse Types  \nThere are two types of questions on the examination:  \n􀁸 Multiple choice: Has one correct response and three incorrect responses (distractors) .  \n􀁸 Multiple response: Has two or more correct responses out of five or more options.  \nSelect one or more responses that best complete the statement or answer the question. Distractors, or incorrect answers, are response options that an examinee with incomplete knowledge or skill would likely choose. However, they are generally plausible responses that fit in the content area defined by the test objective.  \nUnanswered questions are scored as incorrect; there is no penalty for guessing.  \nUnscored Content  \nYour examination may include unscored items that are placed on the test to gather statistical information. These items are not identified on the form and do not affect your score.  \nExam Results  \nThe AWS Certified Solutions Architect-Associate (SAA-C02) examination is a pass or fail exam. The examination is scored against a minimum standard established by AWS professionals who are guided by certification industry best practices and guidelines.  \nYour results for the examination are reported as a score from 100-1,000, with a minimum passing score of 720. Your score shows how you performed on the examination as a whole and whether or not you passed. Scaled scoring models are used to equate scores across multiple exam forms that may have slightly different difficulty levels.  \nYour score report contains a table of classifications of your performance at each section level. This information is designed to provide general feedback concerning your examination performance. The examination uses a compensatory scoring model, which means that you do not need to “pass” the individual sections, only the overall examination. Each section of the examination has a specific weighting, so some sections have more questions than others. The table contains general information, highlighting your strengths and weaknesses. Exercise caution when interpreting section-level feedback.  \nContent Outline  \nThis exam guide includes weightings, test domains, and objectives only. It is not a comprehensive listing of the content on this examination. The table below lists the main content domains and their weightings.  \n\n| Domain | % of Examination |\n| --","cbCaicf9FzWWIXhC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicf9FzWWIXhC","pdf",654221,"English","# Introduction\n## Recommended AWS Knowledge\n## Exam Preparation\n## Exam Content\n### Response Types\n### Unscored Content\n### Exam Results\n## Content Outline\n# Domain 1: Design Resilient Architectures\n# Domain 2: Design High-Performing Architectures\n# Domain 3: Design Secure Applications and Architectures\n# Domain 4: Design Cost-Optimized Architectures","[{\"question\":\"What does the AWS Certified Solutions Architect-Associate (SAA-C02) exam validate?\",\"answer\":\"It validates knowledge of how to architect and deploy secure, robust applications on AWS technologies, including defining solutions from customer requirements and providing implementation guidance using best practices across a project lifecycle.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of response formats are included in the exam?\",\"answer\":\"The exam includes multiple choice questions (one correct and three incorrect responses) and multiple response questions (two or more correct responses out of five or more options).
