Develop industry in AWS Amazon Web service is is the most popular cloud computing service used by startups.

So this whole course is about getting AWS certified for the certified cloud.

Petitioner, which is the entry level certification on the idea here is that by getting the certification you are going Thio be able to prove that you can work with cloud computing, prove that you can work ahead of us, and you're gonna have a lot more job opportunities available to you.

So, you know, let's get to this and start learning about eight of us.

Hey, this is Andrew Brown from example Row, and I'm gonna try to answer all the questions you might have about the CCP, which is known as the certified cloud practitioner, to determine whether it's the right certification for you.

Okay, so the CCP is all about a foundational knowledge.

What that means is that it can show that you know how to poke around, and you can use it to his counsel and, you know Ah, the general offerings from AWS.

It's like a lite version of the solution architect associate.

Okay.

Ah, but the CCP has some very unique offerings which no other certification on AWS has, which is They have a strong focus on building and business centric concepts.

Okay, And that's why it's gonna make a lot of sense why a lot of people who try to obtain this is e p.

R.

In sales and management, because it's going to give them that knowledge to help them inform V.

P's or CEOs.

The reasons why do use eight of us.

Okay, All right, So the next thing you're probably going to ask me is, what value does the CCP hold?

While it's not a gilded title, it can help superficially increase your recertification count if that's something that some companies care about but it's not recognize is an important certification for developers on resume.

So if you think by getting the CCP, it's gonna help you get a job, I probably won't help too much if you were a bootcamp, Brad.

Ah, then it could be a good indicator that you're a little bit familiar with eight of us, so it could be OK in that one circumstance, but gently for developers, it's not gonna help you too much.

All right, so maybe you're thinking so far.

Hey, Andrew, this doesn't sound that great.

Why would I want even bother getting this?

And you might be thinking about skipping the CCP.

But I'm gonna tell you that that is not what you should do.

You should actually go get the CCP.

And why is that?

Well, it's for a totally different reason.

It's because the CCP is going to help you build confidence.

And it's a very easy win because it's the easiest certification because it's the most inexpensive certification.

It's the perfect opportunity for you to get comfortable for when you actually go take a really exam.

Okay, so the other exams, the associates, everything beyond that are very difficult.

And you don't want that to be your first certification you go for because you're a good exam center and gonna be very nervous or stressed out or something's gonna go wrong.

And so, by taking the CCP and going to the test center, you're going thio, learn your test center and learn how you have to be on time And what the environments gonna be like.

Okay?

And that is the big value out of the CCP.

So that's why I want you to go after it.

And also, just some people they just should just prepare because they might get overwhelmed once they start with the solution architect associate.

And so it is a very easy way.

Thio, ease into the associate certifications.

All right, so let's talk about study time.

How much time do I have to put in to pass this exam?

Now, if you are a developer, so you're already working industry.

You can pass this in less than a week.

If you're a bootcamp, Brad, I'd say about 15 hours.

So we're talking about a week and 1/2 of study.

And if you're in sales and management, you probably don't have a lot of developer experience or with a cloud infrastructure.

So we're looking at 20 hours of study.

But the thing is, is that you can, ah, you know, book this exam a week ahead and use this course and you will pass because it is a very easy certification, and it's not a huge time requirement Okay, so that just gives you kind of an idea of the time you need to put it.

All right, So when it comes time to take this exam, you're gonna have to go to test center, which is partnered with AWS.

And there are two ah, test center and networks.

We have P s.

I am Pearson Vue.

Ah.

And so, uh, before the only way you could take this exam, you had to go in person to a test center.

But now that Pearson Vue is part of ah, eight of us, as in its offering the exams through their network, Pearson Vue is known for their proctor exams.

So what is the proctor exam?

That's when you have someone that is supervising or monitoring your examination and specifically for online.

Okay, So what that means is that you can sign up and schedule online exam and through ah, Web camera.

And if you ah, you would just take the exam and somebody would watch you to make sure that you're not cheating.

Okay?

So now it's even easier to get recertified because you can take this at the convenience of your own home.

But I would strongly recommend that you take it at an in person test center if there is one nearby, just because when you go for this harder certifications, they may not offer Proctor exams on.

So, uh, at this point, I recommend that you try to go to a test center.

But if you just want to get even certified and it really excited, definitely.

Go take it online, all right, and now we just have some remaining questions here.

So what does it cost to take this exam?

It's $100.

USD is the most inexpensive eight of a certification.

It's going to take 90 minutes.

That's the time that you're al queda during the ah, the exam.

It doesn't actually take that long.

You could probably get it done in under an hour.

Again, It's not a very hard certification, but I do recommend that when you go to the exam, you maximize all of your time and reviewer questions because it is a very good habit to get into when you take exams.

There are 65 questions.

The passing score is 70%.

I think that actually is a hard number with all the other exams.

It's kind of a floating numbers, so it's never exactly that amount.

But I'm pretty sure for the ClA.

Petitioner, if you get over 70% you are going to pass.

Okay.

Ah, And then, uh, when you get this certification, it's gonna be valid for three years, so it's going to be with you for quite a long time.

So there you go.

Hopefully that answers all the questions you have about the sort of iCloud practitioner.

Hey, this is Andrew Brown from Exam Pro.

And here I have the exam guide pulled up because I'm going to give you a quick walk through of it.

So you have an idea what eight of us wants you to know in order to pass this exam.

So the first thing we're gonna do is we're going to scroll on down to the content outline and just give the domain's a read and understand the waiting of the actual exam.

So we have four domains here.

We have cloud concepts, security, technology and billing and pricing.

And so the largest portion of exam is technology at 36% on Billy, And pricing is the lows amount, which is kind of funny because I find that the most valuable thing in the entire course is building and pricing.

Okay, We're gonna learn a lot.

About 1,000,000,000 pricing either eight of us here.

But that's just how they waited it.

But let's just talk about these four domains.

So we understand what it is that we need to know for each of these domains.

So for domain, one way, we need to be able to define the atavus cloud its value proposition.

We need to be able to identify aspects of Avis clot economics lists the different cloud architecture, design principles.

Okay, Now for security, we need to know a a variety of different eight of US security Service's.

And we need to know the shared responsibility model.

Okay, you need to know that for every single exam, it's always brought it up, like, 100 times over.

But yeah, that's part of the security debate onto technology.

You're gonna need to know all the core rate of the service's and also a bunch of other 80 with service is, and you're gonna need to know global infrastructure.

Okay, so we're talking regions a ZIS and EJ locations.

All right.

Ah, and then on two billion pricing.

So we need to be able to compare and contrast various pricing models for AWS, recognize the various accounts structures in relation to its billing and pricing, and identify resources available for building support.

So that is the content outline.

So the next thing I wanted to go over with you is the response type.

So when you're taking exam, you're going to be presented questions in one or or the other format.

So we have multiple choice and multiple responsible for multiple choice.

You just choose one out of four, okay?

And then for ah, multiple response, it's going to be two or more correct responses out of five or more options.

Okay, but generally I find it's two out of five or three out of six.

Okay on, then.

The last thing here is white papers.

Eso white papers are generally core to studying for aws.

Ah, for the CCP.

Ah, however you do not have to re a single white paper.

Everything in this course covers anything that could possibly pop up in these white papers here on white papers are super boring.

Okay, but just so you know, we have the overview of Amazon Web service is architect ing for the cloud eight of its best practices.

How eight of us pricing works cost management in the ah ah, in ah Ws Cloud.

Okay, so those are your four white papers recommended.

And then Ah, 5th 1 This is in a white paper, though, but they just say, compared to eight of support plans to go the web page and you read about support plans.

Okay, so there you go.

That is the exam guide in a nutshell.

Hey, this is Andrew Brown from exam Pro, and we're looking at what is cloud computing, which is the most important question on our journey to become a certified cloud practitioner.

So what I've done here is I pull up the textbook definition of cloud computing and we will read through this, and then I will give you a bit more contacts on.

Ah, what is cloud computing?

So cloud computing Ah, from the dictionary is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the internet to store manager and process data rather than a local server or personal computer.

Okay, so what does that mean?

Well, to really understand that we need to understand on premise and cloud providers.

So now most people are using cloud providers such as eight of us G, C, P or azure, to run their actual workloads.

Um, and prior to that, everyone was doing on premise.

So what will you do with on premises you'd own?

The servers would be the hardware and the software.

You'd hire the i t.

People to configure those servers and those applications you pay or rented the real state to house all these physical servers and you take all the risk Now on Premise is still well and alive today, and there's definitely good reasons to ah, haven't on premise solution.

Ah, but a lot of companies, they're now starting thio use cloud providers.

And so cloud providers are like eight of us juicy, pee and agile.

As I said earlier, Ah, and so here it's Someone else owns the servers.

So you are not responsible for that hardware.

Ah, and to different degrees, they will configure the the software layer for you or you have control over yourself.

Depends on what kind of service you're using.

Their hiring the I t.

People on there watching these servers around the clock for you.

So you do not have to pay for that.

And someone else is paying for renting the real state.

So they are buying the real estate, too.

House these servers, which our data centers.

And now you have a shared responsibility.

So you're responsible for configuring cloud service is and the code that you deploy onto the service's and so these clock dividers, we're going to take care of the rest for you.

Okay, so that is generally what cloud computing?

It's Hey, this is Andrew Brown from Exam Pro, and we're looking at these six advantages and benefits of cloud computing.

And so the section really is about why go with a cloud provider over on premise, Okay?

And so let's jump into the first point here.

So we have trade capital expense for variable expense.

So with on Prem, you would have to pay for your data centers.

Ah, and the servers.

And so that would be an up front cost.

Where, uh, with a cloud provider, you're paying on demand.

So you only pay when you consumed those computing resources and pretty much nothing else.

Okay, moving on to number two, we have benefit from massive economics of scale.

So when you're using cloud computing, you have usage from hundreds of thousands of customers aggregated in the cloud.

And so you are sharing the cost with other customers to get unbeatable savings, which you cannot get on Prem.

Ah, the next point here is stop guessing capacity.

So eliminate guesswork about infrastructure capacities.

So instead of paying for idle or underutilized servers, you can scale up or down to meet the current needs.

So where on Prem you just by your servers?

Ah, and they would either be underutilized because they would just be way too big for the job or they're just not being utilized all the time.
