I am excited to announce that I passed the AWS SysOps Administrator certification! This accomplishment marks a significant milestone in my professional journey, and I want to share my experience and extend my heartfelt gratitude to those who supported me along the way. The AWS SysOps Administrator exam is known for its rigorous nature, demanding a deep understanding of AWS services, operational best practices, and real-world scenarios. There were times when the complexity of the material felt overwhelming, and balancing study with work and personal commitments was a constant challenge.I firmly believe that consistency and dedication are the keys to overcoming any challenge. I set a disciplined study schedule, dedicating a few hours each day to prepare. Slowly but surely, my understanding deepened, and concepts that initially seemed daunting began to click.I owe a special thanks to the Wirfoncloud Community. Their support, discussions, and shared resources were invaluable. Being part of a community of like-minded individuals striving towards similar goals provided motivation and clarity.Additionally, I want to extend my gratitude to my lab instructor at WirfonCloud Community who related the course into a lab based scenarios where I spent 5hours labs a week with the community. Bravo to Stephane Maarek and his comprehensive AWS course. His structured and clear teaching method demystified complex topics and provided practical insights that were crucial for my preparation. Achieving this certification has been a rewarding experience, reinforcing the importance of perseverance and community support. I am excited to apply the knowledge and skills I have gained in my professional endeavors and continue my journey in cloud computing.To anyone preparing for their AWS certifications, remember that challenges are part of the process, but with dedication and the right resources, success is within reach.

🎉 Another achievement in my Cloud & DevOps journey: I've earned the AWS Certified SysOps Administrator badge! 🎉 I'm thrilled to have deepened my expertise in AWS infrastructure, automation, deployment and operations, which have been my main research activities and work focus for the last two and a half years. Regarding the exam: - It covered a wide range of AWS services and products, with a focus on automation, deployment, and systems monitoring. - Around 10 questions were about CloudFormation deployment scenarios, rollback processes, and CloudFormation coding techniques such as Mappings, Parameters, and exporting information to other stacks. - Approximately 7 questions related to scenarios requiring AWS Systems Manager services (Parameter Store, Patch Manager, Run Command). - About 8 questions involved complex scenarios needing the use of AWS Config, remediation services, and CloudWatch Event Bridge. I would like to thank Neal K. Davis for his course, which provided invaluable insights and guidance. The exam was perfectly aligned with all the materials in his SysOps course. I am glad that I continue to meet my challenges by obtaining a new Cloud & DevOps certificate every 4 weeks. Here's to new challenges and opportunities ahead! 🌟 https://lnkd.in/ev55MAfE #AWS #SysOps #CloudComputing #Certification #AWSCertified #DevOps #AWSSysOps
