Study plan
Start with developer implementation patterns, then add operations, security, data, and AI role decisions around the same AWS workloads.
Practise AWS evidence capture: CloudWatch metrics, CloudTrail events, IAM policies, deployment logs, backup state, cost tags, and architecture notes.
Use role-specific mock domains to decide whether the scenario is testing developer, CloudOps, security, networking, DevOps, data, AI, ML, generative AI, or architecture judgement.
Hands-on labs
Cloud Practitioner lab: map core AWS services, shared responsibility, IAM baseline, billing signals, support choices, and cleanup evidence.
AI Practitioner lab: choose an AWS AI or generative AI service for a business use case, document responsible AI controls, privacy risks, evaluation notes, and cost assumptions.
Solutions Architect Associate lab: design a two-tier VPC workload with compute, storage, database, IAM, monitoring, high availability, backup, and cost tradeoff evidence.
Developer Associate lab: build a serverless API with Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, IAM least privilege, logs, alarms, retries, and rollback notes.
CloudOps Engineer Associate lab: create an AWS operations evidence pack using CloudWatch, CloudTrail, Systems Manager, backup checks, patch posture, cost tags, and incident triage notes.
Security Specialty lab: design a secure AWS workload baseline with IAM boundaries, KMS encryption, secrets, detection signals, network controls, audit events, and response evidence.
Advanced Networking Specialty lab: validate VPC routing, DNS resolution, hybrid connectivity design, private access, load balancing, flow logs, segmentation, and failover evidence.
DevOps Engineer Professional lab: create a CI/CD release plan that builds, scans, deploys, validates, alarms, rolls back, and records post-incident improvement actions.
Data Engineer Associate lab: design a governed data pipeline with S3 layout, Glue-style cataloging, transformation, quality checks, analytics access, lineage, monitoring, and cleanup proof.
Machine Learning Engineer Associate lab: build an ML workflow plan with data preparation, feature pipeline, training metrics, evaluation, deployment, drift monitoring, rollback, and responsible AI notes.
Generative AI Developer Professional lab: design a Bedrock-style RAG or agent workflow with grounding sources, scoped permissions, evaluation cases, guardrails, logs, cost controls, human review, and rollback.

Practice questions
How should an AWS role exam learner decide whether a scenario is developer, CloudOps, security, DevOps, or data focused?
Identify the required action first: build application logic, operate and monitor workloads, secure access and data, automate release, move and govern data, or choose AI/ML services. The required action determines the role lens.
What evidence should support an AWS production-ready lab?
Useful evidence includes IAM policy scope, deployment logs, health checks, CloudWatch metrics, CloudTrail events, encryption state, backup or rollback plan, cost tags, and cleanup confirmation.
