Excellent overview. Lots of material and quality practice questions.

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

Incredibly thorough overview of key AWS Services. Much like a couple other reviewers pointed out, the practice questions at the end of each chapter are difficult and tricky. Having said that, it has forced me to better understand the material. I'll follow up with this review after completing my exam.

Regarding the online resources, I too had problems with my access code and account. After contacting Wiley tech support, they quickly remedied the issue with my account and I now have access to the online material. It sounded like they are aware of the issue at this point.

Update 7/15/19

I sat for my CSA exam on July 3rd and passed. I'm downgrading this book to 4 stars as it did not cover some subjects in more detail, that the exam certainly asked plenty of questions about. Below is a list of topics that I wish this book covered in way more detail. I feel like this book is still solid material for the CDA exam as well, so it has some solid overlap.

Topics this book does not cover well:
1. Making DynamoDB more performant (DAX).
2. Kinesis. This book barely scratches the surface and is important to know.
3. API Gateway. Again, this book barely covers the topic.
4. AWS SQS. More detailed information needed on this topic.
5. AWS SWF.

Far more difficult than the actual SA exam, but prepares you for the others too

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

As another reviewer pointed out, the practice exams at the end of each chapter are far more difficult than any question you'll receive on the SA Associate exam. This book contains more information than you need to pass the Associate-level exam and seems written to be somewhere between Associate and Professional.

I can't speak for the digital component as I never tried it, but this is an excessively comprehensive (but good!) study guide for the Associate exam and probably a decent resource for the Professional exam alongside a Professional-specific book.

I'm not sure if I would recommend this to someone coming into AWS with no prior experience, but I would recommend they buy this book as a second guide after purchasing something a bit more high-level first.

Update (09/05/19) : I just passed the SysOps Admin course, which I did not use this book to study for. As I expected, this book covered material also in that exam and I suspect the last chapters of this book (the CD/CI stuff) will be useful for the DevOps Associate exam. I had given this book to someone months ago who was studying for his AWS Solutions Architect exam, but I'll be ordering a second copy now to help prepare for the DevOps associate and maybe even the two Professional-level certifications. Upgrading to four stars.

Update (12/09/19) : I passed the DevOps Associate as well. This book covered the AWS development tools (AWS Code Pipeline/Commit/Deploy, API Gateway, Lambda, and some others) sufficiently that I was able to take an in-depth DevOps exam with enough understanding of the concepts and services to develop my own website with various AWS integrations for practice.

Buy this study guide for the AWS Solutions Architect exam, but hang on to it for SysOp and DevOp too. There's more detail in this book than in the three Associate exams combined (I doubt you'll ever be asked to compute DynamoDB Read Capacity Units and Write Capacity Units for example), so I've been going back to it now that I'm studying for the Solutions Architect Professional exam.

Buy it with the confidence that it'll see you through your complete certification journey, so long as you are diligent enough to do your own hands-on as well. Upgraded to five stars.

I like the first edition better (though it maybe dated)

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is the second edition of this book.. but the authors and copyright are different. The paper is softer, not as white, and highlighter goes through a little more, and the ink is not as dark / crisp. It maybe more up to date than the first edition, but I found the first edition presented information better. This edition goes over the "pillars" of the Well-Architected Framework more, and maybe better tailored to what is on the test? After Mar22/2020 you have to take the new test so I have no clue what is on that test. This book did help me pass the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate exam.

A great resource but needs updating

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a high-quality study guide with code samples and a portal for practice test. Unfortunately, the book became somewhat outdated at the end of June when AWS switched to a new exam (SAA-C02) which was more of a scenario-based than factual. I still find the guide useful for review on certain areas and I like the Well-Architected Framework section.

Benjamin T Wilcox

Solid study guide

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

The book covers well the AWS core services and technologies - if you absorb everything in the book you will be prepared for the exam. There is no substitute for hands-on practice, and the AWS tutorials online are a great resource - but this book is a great tool to show you where to focus your time.

The practice tests at the end of each chapter showed me my weak spots. Then study and re-test using the online material -- chapter practice questions online, the two full practice tests and flash cards.

I did not have any trouble getting access to the online material.

Good book. Printing issues

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

It’s ok but I guess some printing issues? Page 24 has some weird letters on it, but nothing that helps- so the next page is missing the context from the previous page. I’m studying for my exam and don’t have time to return, plus I’ve already marked it up.

Good book but overall product has warts

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

This guide was a good introduction and helpful for diving into the deep end of the pool. My only issues were with the publisher and editors. There were several errors from exercises that had become dated and the publisher, Wiley, no longer makes the downloadable files available so I couldn't do an exercise in Chapter 13. This needs to be fixed ASAP. Still worth the money.

Good introduction, but already out of date

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2019

Verified Purchase

Enjoyed reading the study guide and the review questions are helpful. The AWS web gui and CLI have changed too much in that most examples were outdated. This caused endless frustration and I spent more time googling the correct way to do something than reading the book. Otherwise this book covers the concepts, but like it states in the pre-amble, the web interface and CLI change too often for it to be up to date.

Basic content is ok but tests are off target

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

The basic text is ok but it's hard to tell that this is an official guide not least because the exam questions are really quite different from those in the actual exam (which I successfully passed recently).

Coming from a project management rather than technical background, I tried a few different learning sources to prepare for the exam including pluralsight, udemy and acloudguru - the latter was definitely by far and away the best in terms of preparing for and passing the exam.

An overview but fundamentally flawed.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

The book gives a good high level overview for the AWS exam, but misses important subjects such as SQS which is a foundation for asynchronous decoupling and is part of the exam. I would not recommend this edition of the book, unlike the 1st edition. It needs errata and further proof reading as I doubt some of the answers to the questions (e.g Ch6Q12 don't change all users passwords after the IAM root user is compromised - the root user could have reset all the passwords). My copy of this book is my most annotated textbook which is not a good thing.
