Used Book in Good Condition
I assume this is for the Associate exam?
I actually found the study guide book incredibly helpful. It is not a deep dive into all of the services but it is a great overview for each service. I also found reviewing documentation on various services to be helpful.
I took two practice exams that came with the book. They weren't 100% accurate to the test but they do give you a very good idea of what the exam flow is. You won't find anything with 100% accurate exam questions. Therefore, study the domains, and get comfortable with the way the test flow goes.
Some good answers on stackoverflow here, but the upshot is:
Also, Kudos for posting this to r/aws. Some folks might think this not the right place, but the Product API (albeit in a different incarnation) was literally the first Amazon Web Service. See Example 1-2. A Java version of the Amazon.com web service interface for proof! :-)
I was wondering about the same thing. There is a study guide for the Solutions Architect exam, but I'm interested in the Developer certification. If there is a fair bit of overlap, then that guide would probably be useful even if it's for a different exam.
Hopefully I can provide some help!
Good luck with the service! I'm a big fan, but it definitely needs some more work from AWS. It's so difficult to setup hundreds of routes since every one needs to be configured individually.
Also, shameless plug, but if you're interested in Lambda, I wrote a whole eBook about it. You can pre order it now, but it'll be out on January 11th.
This is more of a r/sysadmin question than an AWS question.
>should I be able to get up to speed reasonably quickly and make my way around Amazon Linux coming from the Windows world
Depends on how comfortable you are with CLIs, no one is gonna be able to answer that but you since none of us know your knowledge level when it comes to tech. I will say if you dont use a CLI in windows a lot and rely on the GUI it will probably take you a little bit to adjust
However if you are really wanting to learn Linux/Unix I highly suggest getting this book
https://www.amazon.com/UNIX-Linux-System-Administration-Handbook/dp/0131480057/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1481472067&sr=8-12&keywords=linux+book
It rocks!
Also check out Linux academy https://linuxacademy.com/
Has some good online streaming learning options when it comes to Linux
here is a free Linux course to get you started

The study guides for the Solution Architect Associate and SysOps Associate exams. I have been using AWS for years and still reference these books now and then. They’re good for a beginner. You could also try the free AWS Cloud Practitioner course and exam.

I use this one and have been very happy with it. You may enjoy my WorkSpaces story as well.
The following steps may help you prepare for the certification .
 
 
 
 
First try, but I did developer first. I believe the general consensus is that developer is easier, so I did it first to get familiar with the format and test taking experience. I also had about 3 years AWS exp. at that point.
Not sure if you have tried yet, but if you failed don't be discouraged. SA is very scenario based and you simply need to pick the best answer for the scenario. I think you end up adopting an AWS mindset once you pick up on some tenants and idioms of the various training materials.
BTW, Amazon has an official SA study guide now which didn't exist when I got mine: https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Solutions-Architect-Official-Study/dp/1119138558
Though you're asking in the context of AWS, there are many best practices for designing and operating a distributed system at scale whether it's under AWS or not. The Practice of Cloud System Administration is platform agnostic and a fantastic place to start. No referral link!
IMHO troubleshooting requires more in-depth knowledge than other parts. I am a bit surprised.
For security

Also have you watched the acloudguru course for this certification? I haven't but lots of people say their course is quite good.
If you’re going to buy a book for the solutions architect. You might as well buy the official one from Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Solutions-Architect-Official-Study/dp/1119138558
It’s really a good reference. I reviewed parts of it for the developers architect exam also.
The book "Securing DevOps" goes into a lot of this and uses AWS for its examples. I highly recommend it https://www.amazon.com/Securing-DevOps-Security-Julien-Vehent/dp/1617294136
Are you referring to the first or second edition of the study guide? I've also been looking for the Professional equivalent but haven't found anything that looks promising.
What's the difference between God and Larry Ellison?
God doesn't think he is Larry Ellison.

In some Googling, this seems to be the drive they _were_ using, and that's right around $1k/each: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MZ76P4T0E-Solid-State-Drive/dp/B07DN4VMQX.
Peter Sbarski wrote a whole book about how they made their site.

I actually found the book to not say much except exactly the things they needed to make ACloudGuru.
Your expertise is questionable, and no longer of any interest to me.
Maybe you should go educate yourself: http://www.amazon.com/AWS-Lambda-Guide-Serverless-Microservices-ebook/dp/B016JOMAEE
This example 10TB drive on Amazon.com weighs 1.5lbs.
So 100PB / 10TB means 10k drives or around 15k lbs. According to wikipedia the gross weight of a 45 foot ISO container is 66 k lbs. Doing RAID 1 would mean 30k lbs worth of drives, which leaves around ~26k lbs for all the other equipment, which seems reasonable.
My money is on them using something like RAID 6 so they can survive multiple disk failures while still having less drives than RAID 1. This also fits with the erasure coding strategy that Backblaze have open source and S3 has been speculated to use.

If you are starting from nothing it may take 1 - 2 years. Take your time to learn, no hurry.
Depends on what New Age Tech faction you belong to. "Antifragile," from Nassim Taleb's Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder is supposed to mean that some processes, when properly engineered, gain additional resilience from disorder. Apologies for any mischaracterization.
This is not, as I understand it, the same as getting stronger from being stressed, as you might expect a system to get more resilient from lessons learned from the usual "game day" exercises. It's more the concept: "Make armor better by establishing an anti armor team whose job it is to find the weak spots in the armor."
I like the way things were expressed in the video, but I find Taleb a bit much. He actively despises academic work in his area, especially if it contradicts his thinking. YMMV.
