I have watched your video a day before my exam. I can say only "Awesome Thank you :)" I would recommend this video to all that intend to have an exam (for this version : before 18 Sep 2023). I also would like to ask you to make lots of good video like this. Thank you "Cloud Vikings".
I took and passed the exam earlier today, this video was the BEST resource I used. I cannot thank you enough and I am extremely grateful I stumbled-across this!!!!!!! The best******* would strongly suggest as part of your studies. The majority of others have made the exam studies/material an unnecessarily complicated nightmare! So forget that. Hey thanks again. Keep making content.
Thank you for your effort Mike. I just passed the exam today (Sept. 14) and majority of questions came from Well-architected framework, AWS shared responsibility and AWS Global infrastructure. AWS Cloud Adoption Framework would be a good read to ace some tricky questions. Some of Qs here were just re-worded in the actual exam so be sure to read between the lines to fully understand and get the correct answer. Best of luck to everyone.
@@guidingpeaceintegrativecou2259 Thank you! I watched Mike's 7 hour long CCP lessons you can find it in his past videos. Also please take time to read AWS Documentations to get your knowledge rock solid. I didn't rely much on practice exams. I just give atleast 2 hours a day reading the AWS documentations. Only took me 10 days to prepare. Just like I said above those are the pointers to nail CCP. Good luck on your exam!
Hello RUclips😊. I just a lil one and had limited time to study. I studied for about week and registered today. I came across this video before taking the exam today and I would strongly advise actually knowing a bit of the service is and can do. The a lot of questions not here and that are new. But a big shout out and thanks to Mr Viking. Material was excellent! I did pass😊
Congrats! Glad it helped. Some hands-on experience really helps for the CCP scope. It becomes a necessity for the AWS associate level certifications and beyond. There will be a lot more hands-on focus on my upcoming SAA certification course.
Huge congrats Kev! If you're looking to continue your AWS certification journey beyond the CCP, my advice would be to aim for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate very soon. There's quite a bit of overlap, and with the CCP done, you'll transition well into the associate exam topic scope. I found if I took a long break between progressing to the next certification exam it was a lot harder since I had to re-learn a lot of topics again. Keep the momentum while the information is fresh in your memory. Good luck with the next step in your cloud voyage and reach out if there are ever any questions!
I just wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the invaluable resources you provided on your RUclips channel for AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Exam preparation. Thanks to your guidance, tutorials, and insights, I successfully passed the exam on the 15th of September 2023. Your dedication to the AWS community is truly commendable, and I'm incredibly thankful for your contribution. Keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to continuing to learn from your content!
Question 3 was a bit tricky for me. 5GB is a distractor because the maximum size in a single PUT operation is 5GB. So guys, read the questions very carefully and even more than once!
Great catch! You're doing the right thing here with the practice exam. Take your time and dive into those types of details. Judging from your comment here and the work you're putting into your study, you'll do great with the CCP exam! Keep going!
Mike you're an amazing instructor. I will be taking the exam in two weeks. Note I have only been taking your courses and questions and I'm ready for the exam. Once again thank you. 👍
This is easily the most digestible set of practice questions I have seen. Your pacing is great, the questions test the CONCEPTS and not just rote memorization of the questions, and sitting with the questions and looking up things I didn't know really made me come away with it not just feeling like I learned something, but motivated to keep studying. Definitely checking out more of your videos. Thank you!
Amazing, thanks for checking out the video! You’ve got the right approach in taking your time and over learning around the exam topic themes…especially if you have plans to take the SAA! The bit of extra time builds a great foundation and will make the SAA all that much easier. Good luck with the CCP and let me know if you have any questions along the way!
@@stanzheng7411 yes it helped me. keep in mind though, i first thoroughly studied & understood the content. to do this i used Udemy course, and read the AWS Cloud documentation. After, this video was very helpful as a tool to test my recall & knowledge on the information. I went to the gym, and while I was there, listened to this and answered aloud.
just wrote the exam and passed. i used this video to help, and other videos on this platform. i also did the practice exam by AWS. Don't memorize the questions, these are practice to enforce the concepts. Study the concepts, and understand the content. Once you understand the concepts, then any question you'll be able to answer. Some questions are straightforward, and some are conceptual to test your understanding of the concepts. Hope that help...
Im pretty sure question 24 is supposed to be AWS. I thought that they are in control of the HOST OS and the customer is responsible for the Guest OS Please let me know If I'm wrong, my exam Is tomorrow! Thanks
I have passed!, Thanks for the videos. Spot on!, I have got as many questions relating to ( AWS cloud adoption framework and AWS well-architecture framework), advice to everyone, read the the question carefully, twice maybe thrice :D, they really want you to think deeply, so study well and see the main picture for each aws service! @@cloudvikings
I just want to thank you for your videos. Today, I passed the AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification test. Your videos helped me a lot to better understand the AWS services, concepts, tools.
@@cloudvikings Actually, I am automation tester. I just wanted to learn the cloud technology in general. I am not looking for any other cert about cloud. Many thanks again.
Hello Cloud Vikings, greetings and Thank you for this awesome question bank, it helps me to summarize the services being used in AWS & a lot of confidence to appear for my examination. I am able to assess the level of foundation examination questions. You are amazing, Thank you so much again.
Hi! Great and helpful content! Regarding Q47: shouldn't the answer be AWS Service health dashboard? Since personal health dashboard only provides events for a single account.
Thanks! This is exactly what I was trying to get to with the wording of Q47...so great question and thinking on your part! The key is in the wording of "...resources a company uses". So, for a given AWS account, receiving AWS health alerts just for the resources or services they are using. The service health dashboard is good at alerting across broad AWS service events, but there may be events that wouldn't impact all customers. Like AWS may be experiencing some high API error rates for Amazon Macie, but unless you're actually using that service, those event notifications are just distracting noise. The Personal Health Dashboard however is a bit more aware of what resource are being utilized within an AWS account and will provide AWS service status events just for what you are using, reducing the noise and alerts for services you likely don't care about. aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/faqs/?nc=sn&loc=6#AWS_Personal_Health_Dashboard Q: How is AWS Personal Health Dashboard different from the AWS Service Health Dashboard? The Service Health Dashboard is a good way to view the overall status of each AWS service, but provides little in terms of how the health of those services is impacting your resources. AWS Personal Health Dashboard provides a personalized view of the health of the specific services that are powering your workloads and applications. What’s more, Personal Health Dashboard proactively notifies you when AWS experiences any events that may affect you, helping provide quick visibility and guidance to help you minimize the impact of events in progress, and plan for any scheduled changes, such as AWS hardware maintenance. Q47 is a bit vague though and "a company" could of course have many AWS accounts as part of their overall AWS infrastructure design, so you're right in the fact that PHD would be account specific. Different resources may be used in different AWS accounts which is quite a common practice. Like there are often specific "Security" or "Audit" accounts along with a variety of dev/qa/pre-prod type of accounts which may all differ with what AWS resources are being used in them. The PHD event alerts can help isolate what AWS account may be impacted by the event. For a large enterprise with 100+ AWS accounts, imagine getting an event that AWS Sagemaker was unavailable in a specific AWS region. From an operations/DevOps team perspective, getting alerts specific to the accounts that use that service in that region is very helpful to quickly understand impacts and what is affected, rather than trying to comb through 100+ accounts to know which ones are using that service or not. In the real-world, both the SHD and PHD alerts are typically used in combination to stay on top of any issues AWS may be having. There's a number of automation you can incorporate with the SHD/PHD events to notify your operations teams through Slack or other channels and trigger a chain of events like opening support tickets, etc. This is one example of building a bit of a AWS health monitoring solution around the AWS Health events - aws.amazon.com/blogs/mt/aws-health-aware-customize-aws-health-alerts-for-organizational-and-personal-aws-accounts/ This is a long answer to your question, but hope that helps!
@cloud vikings, thank you for making and sharing the vidoe. Can you please review and advise on Question 48, choose 3 answers for Well architected framework of the Reliabiltiy pillar. A - Stop guessing capacity, this should be under the benefit of cloud computing, D - Automatically recover from failur, this is correct E - Managing changes through automation, I think this should be under operational excellence pillar? I think there should be only one answer which is D. Operational Excellence Pillar The operational excellence pillar focuses on running and monitoring systems, and continually improving processes and procedures. Key topics include automating changes, responding to events, and defining standards to manage daily operations.
B. Learn from all operational failures D. Automatically recover from failure E. Manage change through automation These principles align with the reliability pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework. The framework emphasizes the ability to recover from infrastructure or service disruptions, dynamically acquire computing resources to meet demand, and mitigate disruptions such as misconfigurations or transient network issues.
I think there is an error in Q51. AWS Step Functions lets you orchestrate multiple AWS services into serverless workflows. They do not enable serverless workflows. I think AWS lambda enables them.
i think the answer for 50th question is s3 standard infrequent access.it is used for data that is accessed less frequently but required rapid access when needed.
You’re right about the use case for S3-IA storage, but for question 50, note the hints about needing to “archive” storage, it may only get accessed once a year, and the main point, the lowest cost option. If you price out the storage costs of S3-IA vs. Glacier options (even if that data is accessed once a year), S3-IA wouldn’t be the best option here.
Question 18 has some issues. Aws WAF also prevents DDoS, same as AWS shield Then your question has its correct answers terribly tilted towards option D. Its easy to just guess the correct answer
I thought the same about 18 but going back in my notes from class I see that Shield is SPECIFICALLY for preventing DDoS attacks ... so it would be the best answer.
love the content very helpful! But regarding question number 24 Isn't it AWS' responsibility to patch the host OS and the customers responsibility regarding the guest OS? if i'm wrong please do correct me
You’re 100% correct. The wording of that question isn’t very clear. There’s a more thorough reply in the comments where I get into the details of this question.
Great work. This video will give you an example of what to expect. I’d encourage you to review any services that come up in the answer options if you’re not familiar with them. Go beyond the question itself a bit on any unfamiliar services mentioned. If you look for the FAQ page in the AWS documentation for a given service, skimming through that will fill you in on the core areas fast. I don’t think over-learning this stuff is a bad thing, especially if you plan to do the associate level ones next. You’ll have a great foundation to build to jump right into the next certification. All the best with your exam and let us know how you do!
@@Reflekt0r I all ready present last monday and the question are totally diferent from the exam; this question really dont help, its better study de aws curse.
Support plans can be modified through the managment console, with proper IAM permissions or as the root user. docs.aws.amazon.com/awssupport/latest/user/changing-support-plans.html "You can use the AWS Support Plans console to change your support plan for your AWS account. To change your support plan, you must have AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions or sign in to your account as a root user." Other root user tasks for reference: docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/root-user-tasks.html Based on the actions mentioned in the question and our choices of possible answers, B & E are the best fit. "A" is a distractor. IAM service itself can not be disabled on an account.
Here is my problem: I can't tell you what the answer is until all the multiple choices answer pop up. Then I can pause the video and answer the question most of the time correct. I wish I had a better memory of what said question can do.
Regarding question number 26 : shouldn't the answer be inspector as the question describes the service which helps to monitor the threats not taking actions for that threat.
D - Amazon GuardDuty would still be the best answer here AWS Inspector is primarily focused on software vulnerabilities within a given workload scope. GuardDuty is more about overall threat detection within the AWS account. GuardDuty can help enable automated remediation of threats, but doesn't necessarily take actions for a given threat by default. You could use the GuardDuty API along with CloudWatch events or even chain together an entire threat alert and remediation pipeline with EventBridge and Lambda functions. aws.amazon.com/inspector/faqs/?nc=sn&loc=6 Q: What is Amazon Inspector? Amazon Inspector is an automated vulnerability management service that continually scans Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), AWS Lambda functions, and container workloads for software vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure. aws.amazon.com/guardduty/faqs/#product-faqs#guardduty-faqs#service-overview Q: What is Amazon GuardDuty? GuardDuty is an intelligent threat detection service that continuously monitors your AWS accounts, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, AWS Lambda functions, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters, Amazon Aurora login activity, and data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for malicious activity. If potential malicious activity, such as anomalous behavior, credential exfiltration, or command and control infrastructure (C2) communication is detected, GuardDuty generates detailed security findings that can be used for security visibility and assisting in remediation. Additionally, using the Amazon GuardDuty Malware Protection feature helps to detect malicious files on Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes attached to Amazon EC2 instance and container workloads.
I am a bit confused by the answer that was chosen for question #24. A customer is trying to patch host operating system of an EC2 instance. Based on the AWS shared responsibility model, who is responsible? Isn't the answer supposed to be AWS, since the question says host OS? Can someone explain?
AWS's Responsibility: AWS is responsible for the security of the cloud, which includes the physical infrastructure, hypervisors, and the host operating system that runs the hypervisor. But not the operating system patches on ec2, if you remember when we launch and connected to it,we use commands to update the system.
Can you explain why in Q19 AWS Config can help you find out who change the SG configuration? Per web description, AWS Config only reports what configs has changed and how. Thanks.
Great point and you're correct, however this was one of those (choose two) questions. Using Config along with CloudTrail, you could figure out what changed, then use the integration with CloudTrail to determine which user identity issued the API calls for the changes. - docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/security-logging-and-monitoring.html
Thanks for posting the question here. You are 100% correct that for the underlying hypervisor host OS of the physical server, AWS is responsible for that. For the EC2 INSTANCE however (being the "guest" virtual machine on that physical server), the customer is responsible for the patching. My use of "host operating system" in the question is likely too vague, but I feel the clue of "...of an EC2 instance" (the guest virtual machine we interact with as AWS customers) still leaves C) The customer as the correct answer. Either way, the important thing is your understanding of the differences. By your question here, you have a great understanding of the different virtualization layers that come into play between a hypervisor host and the virtual machines that run on it, along with the shared responsibility model. Let me know if you disagree with any other questions as you go through the rest of it. Thanks again for the question as it will help others viewing it as well!
Hey Folks, Q: 24, The answer is AWS right not the customer? Host OS - OS of the Physical Hardware, The AMI we pick would be the guest OS, for which the customer is responsible? kindly advise anybody
4 месяца назад+1
Hello friend, after you deployed the OS, everything is customer responsability. AWS provided the last version of OS, but when tou deploy, many updates can be installed as you wish.
Cost explorer is incorrect. I’ll paste my response from another comment on this for reference… In the context of the question here, A) Cost Explorer would not be the best answer. In the question, the example company has services in an on-premises datacenter or office, and they want to know what it would cost to run those same services on AWS. The scenaro here is they have no historical cost information already in AWS for these workloads. Cost Explorer has some basic forecasting capabilities, however, these cost forecasts are based on past cost and usage data (which for new workloads not running in AWS already like the company in the question would not have). So, if you are trying to calculate what resources in AWS would cost, with no historical cost and usage data already in AWS for those resources, then the AWS Pricing Calculator tool can help determine what the resources would cost to run in AWS. Now, once the workload(s) are migrated into AWS and run there for a few months, then you could use Cost Explorer to use that historical cost info and generate forward looking forecasts of spend based on the trends seen in the past usage data. Hope that helps!
@@khalidismail7588 Great! Check out the CCP course on cloudvikings.io. Use the coupon code on the course page to get it for free. It’s largely the same lessons as this video, but there’s a few minor additions for the CLF-C02 exam version, providing resources for the Cloud Adoption Framework and a few others.

If we think about this in a more real-world scenario, this may be some media production company, or videography company, looking for a cheap way to have additional off-site backup of their videos by storing them in AWS. They have on-premises storage, likey some form of NAS solution that they primarily work from. So these videos backed-up in S3 are not needed on a day-to-day basis, they're just there in S3 as a secondary backup and they want to keep these storage costs as low as possible. However, should their on-premises NAS storage fail or become unavailable, it is critical that they have access to the video files right away for their projects. S3 has a variety of storage classes, each with pros and cons. The tradeoffs are generally cost vs. availability and/or speed of retrieval of the objects. Take a quick read through the S3 storage classes first, then review the pricing details for each tier: aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/ aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/?nc=sn&loc=4 In the pricing guide, note the description with each storage class table heading, as it provides a good reference for the use-case scenario for each storage class. For this question, the lowest cost storage option that would still allow instant retrieval of the video file objects would be B) S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval ..."S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval delivers the fastest access to archive storage, with the same throughput and milliseconds access as the S3 Standard..."
Thanks for creating a video like this, Its hard to find content like this, most videos like this comes from an india guy with a super strong annoying broken english accent.
Glad it was helpful! I wish I could speak Hindi and other languages to do some training content in other languages as well. I could only imagine how bad my accent would be if I tried. Reach out if there are any questions about anything for the CCP or other cloud and DevOps topics. Thanks again for checking out the channel. More to come!
@@klarenxeblood9615 I've been thinking about it. It would likely take me a few months to pull together a full course given my limited time on weekends these days, but we'll see how things go. I can recommend some courses and training material for SAA when you're ready to start on that.

Please give me a clarity that after this aws cloud practitioner exam Will i get free certification for scoring good marks Or should i pay for this certification..!??
Great question! For mobile applications you typically would not want long-term credentials like IAM users/groups/roles "baked-in" to the application. Web identity federation provies a more dynamic way to authenticate mobile end-users with an AWS external identiy provider (like Google, etc.) and federate access to the necessary AWS resources app would need for that given user. Behind the scenes, Cognito interacts with IAM (typically IAM roles), but doesn't have the same web identity federation capabilites directly. All this is way beyond the depth of the CCP scope, but here are some links to dive into this a bit: docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_providers_oidc.html docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_providers_oidc_cognito.html docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-scenarios.html At the end of the day, for the CCP scope, if you see questions around "mobile identity" or "mobile apps" in the context of authentication, the answer will most likely be something that mentions Amazon Cognito.
Hey man, I was pretty confident taking the exams until I bought some practice course From udemy.they are super hard.but I am getting 90% on your practice exam. From the panic I rescheduled my exam 1 week later. If I do well on this Your practice set. Should I be good?
Assuming you've gone through some course(s) already or have some on-the job experience, you'll be in a really good spot to take the real exam if you did well on this practice one. Just ensure you have a high-level understanding of all the services mentioned in the practice exam, even if they weren't the right answer for the given question. I'd also spend a bit of time on the Well-Architected pillar design principles, and have a quick read through of the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework capabilities and perspectives - aws.amazon.com/cloud-adoption-framework/ I'd book the exam if you haven't already for a week or two out, then use the time to review some other courses and maybe do another practice exam, you'll be in amazing shape! All the best!
@@cloudvikings thanks for the reply, I am almost completely thru the Udemy Stephan course. This was my first practice exam. Just wondering if the wording is near the actual exam.
@@Vin3Man Yes, these are similar to the question format you can expect. I have a free CCP course on the channel here as well that may be a great review resource. Use the timestamps in the description to jump around to specific topic areas to review.
With this question, I tried to highlight the HTTP protocol traffic. ALB operates at layer 7 and provides more features for HTTP traffic. This page will be a good reference, especially the summary table comparing the different load balancers. - aws.amazon.com/compare/the-difference-between-the-difference-between-application-network-and-gateway-load-balancing/#seo-faq-pairs#summary-of-differences-application-network-and-gateway-load-balancing
Check out the AWS Local Zones FAQ page - aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/localzones/faqs/?nc=sn&loc=5 The first question in the FAQ closely aligns to the question in the practice exam and that A) is the best answer here. ChatGPT is a great study aid, but be aware it's a few years behind as it's trained on data only as current as Sept 2021. Many AWS services and latest features added to a given service are not known to ChatGPT and many other LLMs, simply because the did not exist yet based on the training data, so use caution and always verify the information if you're using ChatGPT as part of your study aids. If you enable Web functionalty or use various plugins to get current search results the results can be a bit more current, but it's been wrong many times in my experience, or due to the very similar AWS service names, it can confuse features between services in it's responses. So again, be very clear in your prompts and always verify the responses against the latest AWS documentation.
@@mrgutentag2163 Good job! Yeah keep reviewing a bit more and you’ll do great. I’ve got a bunch of CCP related videos on here on the channel, and lots of other practice exam resources around. Good luck!
Good question! The question is specifcally noting for EC2 instances. Security Groups work at the Elastic Network Interface (ENI) level for an instance and can provide stateful filtering of traffic. AWS WAF is more protection at an application level and typically integrated with ALB, API Gateway, and CloudFront. aws.amazon.com/waf/faqs/ aws.amazon.com/vpc/faqs/#Security_and_Filtering
I think you would do really well with the real exam. I'd say schedule the exam soon if you haven't already, then do a final review of the exam guide domain topics and make sure you're comfortable with those. Also, review the Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) as this came up for me when I this exam again recently. Don't forget to check out the course for additional review of the CCP topic areas if you haven't already - cloudvikings.io/course/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-clf-01 (Note the coupon codes available there! ) All the best on your exam!
@@fatimasohail9717 Sure, AWS Batch and Lightsail are AWS services that are focused on computational processing. AWS has hundreds of different services today, and they catagorize them into their core functions, like Compute, Databases, Storage, and so forth. As a reference, you can use the AWS product categories to filter on these different categories of AWS services to help narrow down the scope. aws.amazon.com/products/?hp=tile&so-exp=below&aws-products-all.sort-by=item.additionalFields.productNameLowercase&aws-products-all.sort-order=asc&awsf.re%3AInvent=*all&awsf.Free%20Tier%20Type=*all&awsf.tech-category=tech-category%23compute For example if you were looking for a database solution, you could change that filter from Compute to Databases, and get a list of all the AWS services focused on Databases. AWS Batch is primarily for batch processing of compute workloads and Lightsail provides virtual private server instances to customers to run a variety of application stacks on them. These best fit into the "Compute" category and you'll see these referenced in that AWS product category, making those answers the correct choices for this question.
CloudWatch on it's own would not help determine if a SG has been changed. AWS Config is purpose built to record changes occuring with your AWS environment. You could in theory have CloudTrail logs feeding into a CloudWatch log group and creating an alarm based on the CloudTrail logs when it finds a SG rule change, but it's more overhead, and the question in this case isn't really about near real-time alerts. If you just want a low-overhead, reactive way of checking if something changed in your environment, Config is a good option to find this out and can be quickly cross referenced with CloudTrail to see who performed that change. To be clear, you're not wrong that CT and CW could be used together to accomplish this, but for the context of this question, where the company may not already have CT and CW logs and a custom alert rule created and just want a way to see what changed, B & E I feel are the best low overhead choices. Beyond the scope of the question, AWS config helps in real-world situations like this, offering the ability to create custom rules to detect when specific changes are made or new resources are configured in a non-compliant way (Ex. a SG allow rule has port 22 inbound access from the internet from any source IP. You can then trigger automated remediation events to revert the change if needed. The CloudTrail->CloudWatch Logs approach could in theory accomplish this as well, but the complexity of the log filters could get difficult to maintain at large scales. Another approach may be CloudTrail -> Eventbridge, capturing the CloudTrail API events and creating trigger alerts when specific API events occur.
I cleared the test today. It just said passed. I think the score will come later. I also solved couple of udemy practice tests to build confidence. I actually used aws skillbuilder's free course for learning.
@@BlissFullHeal Yeah I am concerned because I took the cloud quest and the skill builder courses prior to this practice test, and yet there are a lot of services quized here that aren't on those exams. I got the test in a few hours so I hope I pass.
Nice one! Sitting for the exam on 31 Dec 2023. I thought I was ready but about 7 or 8 out of the 65 questions in your video threw me off!! It was good though, because it taught me a few things to be mindful of. Combining your video with the video at this link (ruclips.net/video/FDEpdNdFglI/видео.html) helped to create better context and understanding of AWS Services for me. Thank you for all you do
I dont find that this exam actually helps you use AWS Cloud Solution Software at all. Total waste, build a bot, that reads the update logs, bot now is more updated than class. GG
I would agree its definitely not very technical, just awareness of various AWS services. Good for non technical roles that just need to understand AWS lingo, or can be seen as a starting point in the journey to learn cloud.
Sigh.... okay look. I'm not doing well on this test and I honestly feel like this is more your fault than mine. There's so much course material in these questions that is either barely touched upon or completely non-existent in your CCP course. What are Outpost racks? When did we go over the different Health Dashboards and their differences? Why didn't you just make lesson on the different pillars or the 6 perspectives instead of sending us to do homework? To me, the test is either too difficult and nuanced, or your course is missing some crucial information. I hope it's the former because making a "full course" video on youtube but not providing all the information the exam covers seems quite redundant to me. I've been taking practice tests across the internet and most just don't seem this wordy and cute to me. Thanks but at the same time...woof.
Most of these practice exam questions here are A LOT more wordy or "cute" than you can expect on the real exam. Don't get discouraged! AWS Outposts for example, doesn't appear as a service listed in the CCP exam guide - d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-cloud-practitioner/AWS-Certified-Cloud-Practitioner_Exam-Guide.pdf (Appendix section at the end) Now, if you notice at the top of that Appendix section in the above exam guide it states: "The following is a non-exhaustive list of the tools and technologies that could appear on the exam. This list is subject to change and is provided to help you understand the general scope of services, features, or technologies on the exam." So there _could_ be other services that pop up in the exam questions (usually as wrong distractor answers), but in this practice exam video, I'm trying to call out a variety of other AWS services you may not have seen before. Services that aren't specifically in scope for the CCP exam to learn, but you would have surface-level exposure to able to recognize that "oh that service is for X and has nothing to do with the question being asked here", just in case any weird stuff gets thrown at you in the exam. The "Full" course is focused on learning the core CCP domains and topic areas in the exam guide. I created the course lessons mapped directly to these domain areas and weighted them a bit to the topic areas I experienced taking the exam and feedback from others that have. Knowing these areas covered in the lessons will give you 90%+ coverage of the exam questions. I've included a lot of questions here to intentionally confuse some of the possible answers to get students to recognize subtle differences between answers based on the details of the question. Sometimes there is more than one answer that would be technically correct, but there will be a specific requirement called out like "...the lowest cost option..." to consider. The actual CCP exam questions will not be as tricky or subtle as the practice questions in this video. As for the homework aspect, my intent in the course and in the practice exam here was to force students to review AWS documentation and get familiar with navigating where to find this material. I feel this combined effort of video lessons and active-learning homework situations will serve students to have a broader understanding of the services and be better prepared for on-the-job scenarios of needing to reference and look up details about various areas. You may be like me and primarily a visual learner, so I get the desire to have everything covered in a more video form. In my future courses, I'll certainly try to weave a tighter blend of video lessons coverage to unguided homework activites. So again, don't get discouraged with your results in the practice exam here, but at the same time, spend a little extra time digging into some of these unfamiliar services or topic areas. If you over-learn some topics a bit, great! You're more prepared for an interview or job role and have a deeper base to move on to an associate-level exam. Don't try and rush through just to get the cert. Consider how these topic areas would come up in the real world. To judge the real CCP exam difficulty, a good reference to look at is the official AWS CCP exam practice questions. You'll see how much more simplified the questions are and it will likely ease your mind a bit compared to my practice exam video - explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/external/view/elearning/12483/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-practice-question-set-clf-c01-english
@@cloudvikings After taking more time to study and really gain a full grasp of AWS services I can now easily pass this and any other practice test I can get a hold of. Also, before I wrote this comment I failed to recall 15 of the 65 exam questions are ungraded so in hindsight I probably would have done just fine. I was harsh before but my learning process is often times bumpy. Once again, very grateful for your work and I look forward to learning more from your channel.

I have watched your video a day before my exam. I can say only "Awesome Thank you :)" I would recommend this video to all that intend to have an exam (for this version : before 18 Sep 2023). I also would like to ask you to make lots of good video like this. Thank you "Cloud Vikings".
Just wondering, how close would you say are the questions in the exam compared to the questions Cloud Vikings provided here in the video?
Just did my exam and got my pass! a lot of the questions covered here were on the exam, thank you!!
@jussaraxavier2830 Approximately how many questions you got from this video?
I took and passed the exam earlier today, this video was the BEST resource I used. I cannot thank you enough and I am extremely grateful I stumbled-across this!!!!!!! The best******* would strongly suggest as part of your studies.
The majority of others have made the exam studies/material an unnecessarily complicated nightmare! So forget that.
Hey thanks again. Keep making content.
How much did you score?
Thank you for your effort Mike. I just passed the exam today (Sept. 14) and majority of questions came from Well-architected framework, AWS shared responsibility and AWS Global infrastructure. AWS Cloud Adoption Framework would be a good read to ace some tricky questions. Some of Qs here were just re-worded in the actual exam so be sure to read between the lines to fully understand and get the correct answer. Best of luck to everyone.
Congrats! So did you mainly use this exam to study? I've been studying on udemy but I think their test is harder
@@guidingpeaceintegrativecou2259 Thank you! I watched Mike's 7 hour long CCP lessons you can find it in his past videos. Also please take time to read AWS Documentations to get your knowledge rock solid. I didn't rely much on practice exams. I just give atleast 2 hours a day reading the AWS documentations. Only took me 10 days to prepare. Just like I said above those are the pointers to nail CCP. Good luck on your exam!
Hello RUclips😊. I just a lil one and had limited time to study. I studied for about week and registered today. I came across this video before taking the exam today and I would strongly advise actually knowing a bit of the service is and can do. The a lot of questions not here and that are new. But a big shout out and thanks to Mr Viking. Material was excellent!
I did pass😊
Congrats! Glad it helped. Some hands-on experience really helps for the CCP scope. It becomes a necessity for the AWS associate level certifications and beyond. There will be a lot more hands-on focus on my upcoming SAA certification course.
Thank you!!! Just passed my exam today, your content helped tremendously
Congrats and keep goint!
Thank you so much just passed the cloud practitioner today!!
Huge congrats Kev!
If you're looking to continue your AWS certification journey beyond the CCP, my advice would be to aim for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate very soon. There's quite a bit of overlap, and with the CCP done, you'll transition well into the associate exam topic scope. I found if I took a long break between progressing to the next certification exam it was a lot harder since I had to re-learn a lot of topics again. Keep the momentum while the information is fresh in your memory.
Good luck with the next step in your cloud voyage and reach out if there are ever any questions!
Are you going to do a video series for the next test?
@@nsgkevwhitehello, please guide me about future plans after passing CCP exam.
only whit this video did you pass?
I just wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the invaluable resources you provided on your RUclips channel for AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Exam preparation. Thanks to your guidance, tutorials, and insights, I successfully passed the exam on the 15th of September 2023. Your dedication to the AWS community is truly commendable, and I'm incredibly thankful for your contribution. Keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to continuing to learn from your content!
Congrats! Thanks so much for your kind words.
Keep the momentum going after the CCP! A very different future awaits you! Great work!
Question 3 was a bit tricky for me. 5GB is a distractor because the maximum size in a single PUT operation is 5GB. So guys, read the questions very carefully and even more than once!
Great catch! You're doing the right thing here with the practice exam. Take your time and dive into those types of details. Judging from your comment here and the work you're putting into your study, you'll do great with the CCP exam! Keep going!
For anyone wondering, this is likely CLF-C01 material, though much of it probably carries over.
Mike you're an amazing instructor. I will be taking the exam in two weeks. Note I have only been taking your courses and questions and I'm ready for the exam. Once again thank you. 👍
Thanks for checking out the videos! Let me know how it goes!
Just passed this morning. This video is spot on. Thank you for the help!
@@HanktheDank167 Congrats!
This is easily the most digestible set of practice questions I have seen. Your pacing is great, the questions test the CONCEPTS and not just rote memorization of the questions, and sitting with the questions and looking up things I didn't know really made me come away with it not just feeling like I learned something, but motivated to keep studying. Definitely checking out more of your videos. Thank you!
Amazing, thanks for checking out the video!
You’ve got the right approach in taking your time and over learning around the exam topic themes…especially if you have plans to take the SAA! The bit of extra time builds a great foundation and will make the SAA all that much easier.
Good luck with the CCP and let me know if you have any questions along the way!
listening to this at the gym. test tomorrow at 1pm. loved how you slowly read, & gave time to answer.
how'd u do if u dont mind me asking, how helpful was this for the exam?
@@stanzheng7411 yes it helped me. keep in mind though, i first thoroughly studied & understood the content. to do this i used Udemy course, and read the AWS Cloud documentation. After, this video was very helpful as a tool to test my recall & knowledge on the information. I went to the gym, and while I was there, listened to this and answered aloud.
just wrote the exam and passed. i used this video to help, and other videos on this platform. i also did the practice exam by AWS. Don't memorize the questions, these are practice to enforce the concepts. Study the concepts, and understand the content. Once you understand the concepts, then any question you'll be able to answer. Some questions are straightforward, and some are conceptual to test your understanding of the concepts.
Hope that help...
Im pretty sure question 24 is supposed to be AWS.
I thought that they are in control of the HOST OS and the customer is responsible for the Guest OS
Please let me know If I'm wrong, my exam Is tomorrow! Thanks

Hi! Great and helpful content!
Regarding Q47: shouldn't the answer be AWS Service health dashboard? Since personal health dashboard only provides events for a single account.
Thanks!
This is exactly what I was trying to get to with the wording of Q47...so great question and thinking on your part!
The key is in the wording of "...resources a company uses". So, for a given AWS account, receiving AWS health alerts just for the resources or services they are using.
The service health dashboard is good at alerting across broad AWS service events, but there may be events that wouldn't impact all customers. Like AWS may be experiencing some high API error rates for Amazon Macie, but unless you're actually using that service, those event notifications are just distracting noise.
The Personal Health Dashboard however is a bit more aware of what resource are being utilized within an AWS account and will provide AWS service status events just for what you are using, reducing the noise and alerts for services you likely don't care about.
aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/faqs/?nc=sn&loc=6#AWS_Personal_Health_Dashboard
Q: How is AWS Personal Health Dashboard different from the AWS Service Health Dashboard?
The Service Health Dashboard is a good way to view the overall status of each AWS service, but provides little in terms of how the health of those services is impacting your resources. AWS Personal Health Dashboard provides a personalized view of the health of the specific services that are powering your workloads and applications. What’s more, Personal Health Dashboard proactively notifies you when AWS experiences any events that may affect you, helping provide quick visibility and guidance to help you minimize the impact of events in progress, and plan for any scheduled changes, such as AWS hardware maintenance.
Q47 is a bit vague though and "a company" could of course have many AWS accounts as part of their overall AWS infrastructure design, so you're right in the fact that PHD would be account specific. Different resources may be used in different AWS accounts which is quite a common practice. Like there are often specific "Security" or "Audit" accounts along with a variety of dev/qa/pre-prod type of accounts which may all differ with what AWS resources are being used in them. The PHD event alerts can help isolate what AWS account may be impacted by the event. For a large enterprise with 100+ AWS accounts, imagine getting an event that AWS Sagemaker was unavailable in a specific AWS region. From an operations/DevOps team perspective, getting alerts specific to the accounts that use that service in that region is very helpful to quickly understand impacts and what is affected, rather than trying to comb through 100+ accounts to know which ones are using that service or not.
In the real-world, both the SHD and PHD alerts are typically used in combination to stay on top of any issues AWS may be having.
There's a number of automation you can incorporate with the SHD/PHD events to notify your operations teams through Slack or other channels and trigger a chain of events like opening support tickets, etc.
This is one example of building a bit of a AWS health monitoring solution around the AWS Health events - aws.amazon.com/blogs/mt/aws-health-aware-customize-aws-health-alerts-for-organizational-and-personal-aws-accounts/
This is a long answer to your question, but hope that helps!
Thank you so much! This video made me pass today 🙌🙌🙌 cheers
Congrats! It was your study dedication that made you pass, but glad the course helped!
Thanks for the exam questions, great video, just letting you know question 33 gave the answer away if you are unaware
@cloud vikings, thank you for making and sharing the vidoe. Can you please review and advise on Question 48, choose 3 answers for Well architected framework of the Reliabiltiy pillar.
A - Stop guessing capacity, this should be under the benefit of cloud computing,
D - Automatically recover from failur, this is correct
E - Managing changes through automation, I think this should be under operational excellence pillar? I think there should be only one answer which is D.
Operational Excellence Pillar
The operational excellence pillar focuses on running and monitoring systems, and continually improving processes and procedures. Key topics include automating changes, responding to events, and defining standards to manage daily operations.
That's what I thought too, D instead of A
B. Learn from all operational failures
D. Automatically recover from failure
E. Manage change through automation
These principles align with the reliability pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework. The framework emphasizes the ability to recover from infrastructure or service disruptions, dynamically acquire computing resources to meet demand, and mitigate disruptions such as misconfigurations or transient network issues.
I passed AWS certification cloud practitioner exam today. Your videos and practice test helped me a lot ❤ I appreciate it thanks
Amazing! Thanks for the support. Keep going!
I think there is an error in Q51. AWS Step Functions lets you orchestrate multiple AWS services into serverless workflows. They do not enable serverless workflows. I think AWS lambda enables them.
for Q51, why is it not aws lambda? can you please explain?
Appreciate your selfless hardwork mate, Thanks.
Because lambda is not able to create workflow
i think the answer for 50th question is s3 standard infrequent access.it is used for data that is accessed less frequently but required rapid access when needed.
You’re right about the use case for S3-IA storage, but for question 50, note the hints about needing to “archive” storage, it may only get accessed once a year, and the main point, the lowest cost option. If you price out the storage costs of S3-IA vs. Glacier options (even if that data is accessed once a year), S3-IA wouldn’t be the best option here.
Question 18 has some issues. Aws WAF also prevents DDoS, same as AWS shield
Then your question has its correct answers terribly tilted towards option D. Its easy to just guess the correct answer
I thought the same about 18 but going back in my notes from class I see that Shield is SPECIFICALLY for preventing DDoS attacks ... so it would be the best answer.
Thankyou so much, you made a fantastic job with your content 😊
love the content very helpful!
But regarding question number 24 Isn't it AWS' responsibility to patch the host OS and the customers responsibility regarding the guest OS? if i'm wrong please do correct me
You’re 100% correct. The wording of that question isn’t very clear. There’s a more thorough reply in the comments where I get into the details of this question.
Okay thanks man
I'm writing my exam in two days. Not sure if I've learned too much or if this test is too simple, I guess I'll find out soon. :)
Great work. This video will give you an example of what to expect. I’d encourage you to review any services that come up in the answer options if you’re not familiar with them. Go beyond the question itself a bit on any unfamiliar services mentioned. If you look for the FAQ page in the AWS documentation for a given service, skimming through that will fill you in on the core areas fast.
I don’t think over-learning this stuff is a bad thing, especially if you plan to do the associate level ones next. You’ll have a great foundation to build to jump right into the next certification.
All the best with your exam and let us know how you do!

@@cloudvikings passed it! The most stressful part was probably clearing off my WFH desk for the online proctor 😅 Thanks again!
I feel the answer to question 27 is Amazon SQS rather than Amazon SNS. Can someone please help me with this question?
Hi there Cloud Vikings, 26:46 the arrow which shows the answer appears before the rest of the answers are shown
question 42. why did you skip A answer? who else apart from root user can disable IAM?
Not the current exam. CLF-C02 is the updated course
Question 42 - i think it should be A & B as support plans can be modified from AWS mgmt console also as far i know. Please suggest
Support plans can be modified through the managment console, with proper IAM permissions or as the root user.
docs.aws.amazon.com/awssupport/latest/user/changing-support-plans.html
"You can use the AWS Support Plans console to change your support plan for your AWS account. To change your support plan, you must have AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions or sign in to your account as a root user."
Other root user tasks for reference:
docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/root-user-tasks.html
Based on the actions mentioned in the question and our choices of possible answers, B & E are the best fit.
"A" is a distractor. IAM service itself can not be disabled on an account.
Here is my problem: I can't tell you what the answer is until all the multiple choices answer pop up. Then I can pause the video and answer the question most of the time correct. I wish I had a better memory of what said question can do.
Regarding question number 26 : shouldn't the answer be inspector as the question describes the service which helps to monitor the threats not taking actions for that threat.
D - Amazon GuardDuty would still be the best answer here
AWS Inspector is primarily focused on software vulnerabilities within a given workload scope.
GuardDuty is more about overall threat detection within the AWS account. GuardDuty can help enable automated remediation of threats, but doesn't necessarily take actions for a given threat by default. You could use the GuardDuty API along with CloudWatch events or even chain together an entire threat alert and remediation pipeline with EventBridge and Lambda functions.
aws.amazon.com/inspector/faqs/?nc=sn&loc=6
Q: What is Amazon Inspector?
Amazon Inspector is an automated vulnerability management service that continually scans Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), AWS Lambda functions, and container workloads for software vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure.
aws.amazon.com/guardduty/faqs/#product-faqs#guardduty-faqs#service-overview
Q: What is Amazon GuardDuty?
GuardDuty is an intelligent threat detection service that continuously monitors your AWS accounts, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, AWS Lambda functions, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters, Amazon Aurora login activity, and data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for malicious activity. If potential malicious activity, such as anomalous behavior, credential exfiltration, or command and control infrastructure (C2) communication is detected, GuardDuty generates detailed security findings that can be used for security visibility and assisting in remediation. Additionally, using the Amazon GuardDuty Malware Protection feature helps to detect malicious files on Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes attached to Amazon EC2 instance and container workloads.

You're welcome! Thanks for checking out the video. All the best with your cloud study journey!
Good morning, I am thinking to study aws cloud and take the test. My question is can I get a job after my certification? Thank you
Q 24. Here it mentions 'Host' OS and not guest guest OS , so shouldn't it be AWS?
came to the comments for this exact question lol
I am a bit confused by the answer that was chosen for question #24. A customer is trying to patch host operating system of an EC2 instance. Based on the AWS shared responsibility model, who is responsible?
Isn't the answer supposed to be AWS, since the question says host OS? Can someone explain?
AWS's Responsibility: AWS is responsible for the security of the cloud, which includes the physical infrastructure, hypervisors, and the host operating system that runs the hypervisor. But not the operating system patches on ec2, if you remember when we launch and connected to it,we use commands to update the system.
Can you explain why in Q19 AWS Config can help you find out who change the SG configuration? Per web description, AWS Config only reports what configs has changed and how. Thanks.
Great point and you're correct, however this was one of those (choose two) questions. Using Config along with CloudTrail, you could figure out what changed, then use the integration with CloudTrail to determine which user identity issued the API calls for the changes. - docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/security-logging-and-monitoring.html
@@cloudvikings Thanks!
I have doubt in Q 24 . I think the answer would be A ) AWS
AWS is responsible for host OS and
Customer is responsible for guest OS
Thanks for posting the question here. You are 100% correct that for the underlying hypervisor host OS of the physical server, AWS is responsible for that. For the EC2 INSTANCE however (being the "guest" virtual machine on that physical server), the customer is responsible for the patching.
My use of "host operating system" in the question is likely too vague, but I feel the clue of "...of an EC2 instance" (the guest virtual machine we interact with as AWS customers) still leaves C) The customer as the correct answer.
Either way, the important thing is your understanding of the differences. By your question here, you have a great understanding of the different virtualization layers that come into play between a hypervisor host and the virtual machines that run on it, along with the shared responsibility model.
Let me know if you disagree with any other questions as you go through the rest of it.
Thanks again for the question as it will help others viewing it as well!
@@cloudvikings thanks 👍🏼
@@cloudvikings I also got that wrong, but thanks to your explanation it makes sense now and I understood the "why" behind it. Thanks!
Regarding question 14, the word redundant in the question is confusing me.
Hey Folks, Q: 24, The answer is AWS right not the customer? Host OS - OS of the Physical Hardware, The AMI we pick would be the guest OS, for which the customer is responsible? kindly advise anybody
Hello friend, after you deployed the OS, everything is customer responsability. AWS provided the last version of OS, but when tou deploy, many updates can be installed as you wish.
I have the same doubt, Guest OS is customer responsibility , Host OS is AWS responsibility. @cloudvikings
(please mention) Q.21 should be cost explorer, not AWS Pricing Calculator.
Q.24 says the patching the host OS not the guest OS, answer is AWS only.
minimum downtime = high availability
Cost explorer is incorrect.
I’ll paste my response from another comment on this for reference…
In the context of the question here, A) Cost Explorer would not be the best answer.
In the question, the example company has services in an on-premises datacenter or office, and they want to know what it would cost to run those same services on AWS.
The scenaro here is they have no historical cost information already in AWS for these workloads. Cost Explorer has some basic forecasting capabilities, however, these cost forecasts are based on past cost and usage data (which for new workloads not running in AWS already like the company in the question would not have).
So, if you are trying to calculate what resources in AWS would cost, with no historical cost and usage data already in AWS for those resources, then the AWS Pricing Calculator tool can help determine what the resources would cost to run in AWS.
Now, once the workload(s) are migrated into AWS and run there for a few months, then you could use Cost Explorer to use that historical cost info and generate forward looking forecasts of spend based on the trends seen in the past usage data.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for creating this video!
Thanks for checking it out. Hope it helps with your exam prep and don’t hesitate if you have any questions!
is this applicable for year 2024?
can you pls explain Q.50
If we think about this in a more real-world scenario, this may be some media production company, or videography company, looking for a cheap way to have additional off-site backup of their videos by storing them in AWS. They have on-premises storage, likey some form of NAS solution that they primarily work from. So these videos backed-up in S3 are not needed on a day-to-day basis, they're just there in S3 as a secondary backup and they want to keep these storage costs as low as possible. However, should their on-premises NAS storage fail or become unavailable, it is critical that they have access to the video files right away for their projects.
S3 has a variety of storage classes, each with pros and cons. The tradeoffs are generally cost vs. availability and/or speed of retrieval of the objects.
Take a quick read through the S3 storage classes first, then review the pricing details for each tier:
aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/
aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/?nc=sn&loc=4
In the pricing guide, note the description with each storage class table heading, as it provides a good reference for the use-case scenario for each storage class.
For this question, the lowest cost storage option that would still allow instant retrieval of the video file objects would be B) S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval
..."S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval delivers the fastest access to archive storage, with the same throughput and milliseconds access as the S3 Standard..."

Will i get free certification for scoring good marks
Or should i pay for this certification..!??
Q29 : I'm confused it should be AWS IAM according to be... The answer you highlighted was AWS Cognito. Can someone explain why it is the answer?
Great question! For mobile applications you typically would not want long-term credentials like IAM users/groups/roles "baked-in" to the application. Web identity federation provies a more dynamic way to authenticate mobile end-users with an AWS external identiy provider (like Google, etc.) and federate access to the necessary AWS resources app would need for that given user. Behind the scenes, Cognito interacts with IAM (typically IAM roles), but doesn't have the same web identity federation capabilites directly.
All this is way beyond the depth of the CCP scope, but here are some links to dive into this a bit:
docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_providers_oidc.html
docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_providers_oidc_cognito.html
docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-scenarios.html
At the end of the day, for the CCP scope, if you see questions around "mobile identity" or "mobile apps" in the context of authentication, the answer will most likely be something that mentions Amazon Cognito.
Hey man, I was pretty confident taking the exams until I bought some practice course From udemy.they are super hard.but I am getting 90% on your practice exam. From the panic I rescheduled my exam 1 week later. If I do well on this Your practice set. Should I be good?

Assuming you've gone through some course(s) already or have some on-the job experience, you'll be in a really good spot to take the real exam if you did well on this practice one.
Just ensure you have a high-level understanding of all the services mentioned in the practice exam, even if they weren't the right answer for the given question.

Could someone explain why the answer to 43 is application load balancer
With this question, I tried to highlight the HTTP protocol traffic. ALB operates at layer 7 and provides more features for HTTP traffic.
This page will be a good reference, especially the summary table comparing the different load balancers. - aws.amazon.com/compare/the-difference-between-the-difference-between-application-network-and-gateway-load-balancing/#seo-faq-pairs#summary-of-differences-application-network-and-gateway-load-balancing
q35 chatgpt is saying a option is incorrect can anybody tell me which one is correct?
Check out the AWS Local Zones FAQ page - aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/localzones/faqs/?nc=sn&loc=5
The first question in the FAQ closely aligns to the question in the practice exam and that A) is the best answer here.
ChatGPT is a great study aid, but be aware it's a few years behind as it's trained on data only as current as Sept 2021. Many AWS services and latest features added to a given service are not known to ChatGPT and many other LLMs, simply because the did not exist yet based on the training data, so use caution and always verify the information if you're using ChatGPT as part of your study aids. If you enable Web functionalty or use various plugins to get current search results the results can be a bit more current, but it's been wrong many times in my experience, or due to the very similar AWS service names, it can confuse features between services in it's responses. So again, be very clear in your prompts and always verify the responses against the latest AWS documentation.
@@cloudvikings ok thanks bro for clearing the doubt
i've got 10 wrong questions :( , i'll pass the exam after 4 days and i'm not sure if i am ready. thank you alot for the video. keep going
@@mrgutentag2163 Good job! Yeah keep reviewing a bit more and you’ll do great. I’ve got a bunch of CCP related videos on here on the channel, and lots of other practice exam resources around. Good luck!
@@cloudvikings Thank you so much, best youtuber ever
hello ..sorry, but In question 17 shouldn't the right answer be D)WAF?
Good question!
The question is specifcally noting for EC2 instances. Security Groups work at the Elastic Network Interface (ENI) level for an instance and can provide stateful filtering of traffic.
AWS WAF is more protection at an application level and typically integrated with ALB, API Gateway, and CloudFront.

@@cloudvikings thats true. . tnks!!
i scored 59/65 in this exam. Am I good to go for the exam?
I think you would do really well with the real exam. I'd say schedule the exam soon if you haven't already, then do a final review of the exam guide domain topics and make sure you're comfortable with those. Also, review the Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) as this came up for me when I this exam again recently.
Don't forget to check out the course for additional review of the CCP topic areas if you haven't already - cloudvikings.io/course/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-clf-01
(Note the coupon codes available there! )
All the best on your exam!

for question 36 why is the answer lighsail and not batch
It's a choose two question. Both AWS Batch and Amazon Lightsail are the correct services within the compute category.
could you please explain why both are the correct answers@@cloudvikings
@@fatimasohail9717 Sure, AWS Batch and Lightsail are AWS services that are focused on computational processing. AWS has hundreds of different services today, and they catagorize them into their core functions, like Compute, Databases, Storage, and so forth.
As a reference, you can use the AWS product categories to filter on these different categories of AWS services to help narrow down the scope. aws.amazon.com/products/?hp=tile&so-exp=below&aws-products-all.sort-by=item.additionalFields.productNameLowercase&aws-products-all.sort-order=asc&awsf.re%3AInvent=*all&awsf.Free%20Tier%20Type=*all&awsf.tech-category=tech-category%23compute
For example if you were looking for a database solution, you could change that filter from Compute to Databases, and get a list of all the AWS services focused on Databases.
AWS Batch is primarily for batch processing of compute workloads and Lightsail provides virtual private server instances to customers to run a variety of application stacks on them. These best fit into the "Compute" category and you'll see these referenced in that AWS product category, making those answers the correct choices for this question.
Why is 19) NOT E & C????
CloudWatch on it's own would not help determine if a SG has been changed. AWS Config is purpose built to record changes occuring with your AWS environment.
You could in theory have CloudTrail logs feeding into a CloudWatch log group and creating an alarm based on the CloudTrail logs when it finds a SG rule change, but it's more overhead, and the question in this case isn't really about near real-time alerts. If you just want a low-overhead, reactive way of checking if something changed in your environment, Config is a good option to find this out and can be quickly cross referenced with CloudTrail to see who performed that change.
To be clear, you're not wrong that CT and CW could be used together to accomplish this, but for the context of this question, where the company may not already have CT and CW logs and a custom alert rule created and just want a way to see what changed, B & E I feel are the best low overhead choices.
Beyond the scope of the question, AWS config helps in real-world situations like this, offering the ability to create custom rules to detect when specific changes are made or new resources are configured in a non-compliant way (Ex. a SG allow rule has port 22 inbound access from the internet from any source IP. You can then trigger automated remediation events to revert the change if needed. The CloudTrail->CloudWatch Logs approach could in theory accomplish this as well, but the complexity of the log filters could get difficult to maintain at large scales. Another approach may be CloudTrail -> Eventbridge, capturing the CloudTrail API events and creating trigger alerts when specific API events occur.

Can this exam be passed by just watching this video?
I cleared the test today. It just said passed. I think the score will come later. I also solved couple of udemy practice tests to build confidence. I actually used aws skillbuilder's free course for learning.
@@BlissFullHeal Yeah I am concerned because I took the cloud quest and the skill builder courses prior to this practice test, and yet there are a lot of services quized here that aren't on those exams. I got the test in a few hours so I hope I pass.
Nice one! Sitting for the exam on 31 Dec 2023. I thought I was ready but about 7 or 8 out of the 65 questions in your video threw me off!! It was good though, because it taught me a few things to be mindful of. Combining your video with the video at this link (ruclips.net/video/FDEpdNdFglI/видео.html) helped to create better context and understanding of AWS Services for me. Thank you for all you do
Yup yup
what is this exam...? Does this really proves someone is a cloud practitioner or that he 'knows buzzwords'...?
8D
Yep, thank you
oh man, your voice doesn't sound like a viking😂
You repeat sections a couple of times in the first 5 minutes - needs editing
Thanks! Cleaned up that section.
It would have been better if you have explained them !
I dont find that this exam actually helps you use AWS Cloud Solution Software at all. Total waste, build a bot, that reads the update logs, bot now is more updated than class. GG
I would agree its definitely not very technical, just awareness of various AWS services. Good for non technical roles that just need to understand AWS lingo, or can be seen as a starting point in the journey to learn cloud.
Don't you think these questions are very easy and basic level??I mean this much easy questions are asked in the exam?? really??
Exam is literally entry level guy. You should be able to master it in a few days because it *is* like this
Sigh.... okay look. I'm not doing well on this test and I honestly feel like this is more your fault than mine. There's so much course material in these questions that is either barely touched upon or completely non-existent in your CCP course. What are Outpost racks? When did we go over the different Health Dashboards and their differences? Why didn't you just make lesson on the different pillars or the 6 perspectives instead of sending us to do homework? To me, the test is either too difficult and nuanced, or your course is missing some crucial information. I hope it's the former because making a "full course" video on youtube but not providing all the information the exam covers seems quite redundant to me. I've been taking practice tests across the internet and most just don't seem this wordy and cute to me. Thanks but at the same time...woof.
Most of these practice exam questions here are A LOT more wordy or "cute" than you can expect on the real exam. Don't get discouraged!
AWS Outposts for example, doesn't appear as a service listed in the CCP exam guide - d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-cloud-practitioner/AWS-Certified-Cloud-Practitioner_Exam-Guide.pdf (Appendix section at the end)
Now, if you notice at the top of that Appendix section in the above exam guide it states: "The following is a non-exhaustive list of the tools and technologies that could appear on the exam. This list is subject to change and is provided to help you understand the general scope of services, features, or technologies on the exam."
So there _could_ be other services that pop up in the exam questions (usually as wrong distractor answers), but in this practice exam video, I'm trying to call out a variety of other AWS services you may not have seen before. Services that aren't specifically in scope for the CCP exam to learn, but you would have surface-level exposure to able to recognize that "oh that service is for X and has nothing to do with the question being asked here", just in case any weird stuff gets thrown at you in the exam.
The "Full" course is focused on learning the core CCP domains and topic areas in the exam guide. I created the course lessons mapped directly to these domain areas and weighted them a bit to the topic areas I experienced taking the exam and feedback from others that have. Knowing these areas covered in the lessons will give you 90%+ coverage of the exam questions.
I've included a lot of questions here to intentionally confuse some of the possible answers to get students to recognize subtle differences between answers based on the details of the question. Sometimes there is more than one answer that would be technically correct, but there will be a specific requirement called out like "...the lowest cost option..." to consider. The actual CCP exam questions will not be as tricky or subtle as the practice questions in this video.
As for the homework aspect, my intent in the course and in the practice exam here was to force students to review AWS documentation and get familiar with navigating where to find this material. I feel this combined effort of video lessons and active-learning homework situations will serve students to have a broader understanding of the services and be better prepared for on-the-job scenarios of needing to reference and look up details about various areas. You may be like me and primarily a visual learner, so I get the desire to have everything covered in a more video form. In my future courses, I'll certainly try to weave a tighter blend of video lessons coverage to unguided homework activites.
So again, don't get discouraged with your results in the practice exam here, but at the same time, spend a little extra time digging into some of these unfamiliar services or topic areas. If you over-learn some topics a bit, great! You're more prepared for an interview or job role and have a deeper base to move on to an associate-level exam. Don't try and rush through just to get the cert. Consider how these topic areas would come up in the real world.
To judge the real CCP exam difficulty, a good reference to look at is the official AWS CCP exam practice questions. You'll see how much more simplified the questions are and it will likely ease your mind a bit compared to my practice exam video - explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/external/view/elearning/12483/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-practice-question-set-clf-c01-english
@@cloudvikings After taking more time to study and really gain a full grasp of AWS services I can now easily pass this and any other practice test I can get a hold of. Also, before I wrote this comment I failed to recall 15 of the 65 exam questions are ungraded so in hindsight I probably would have done just fine. I was harsh before but my learning process is often times bumpy. Once again, very grateful for your work and I look forward to learning more from your channel.
I'm grateful for your support, and thanks for helping others in the comments. All harsh comments are welcome! They're the best ones to help me improve, so don't hold back!
MAnnn Thank you I literally crammed these videos over a day before the exam and passed thank you!🦾
