Passing SA Pro:
- get ACloudGuru 5 certification bundle. (Disclaimer: I have no financial interest in ACloudGuru.)
- work through Associate courses. Take and pass all Associate exams.
- work through SA Pro course
- take the SA Pro Sample exam. Note that answers are provided for version from the Japan site. Download the PDF. The answers are at the end of each question.
- take SA Pro Practice exam. If you get 75% or higher, just take the SA Pro exam.
- Otherwise, Review some of the DevOps Engineer lessons that overlap with SA Pro.
- Review all of the scenario questions in the ACloudGuru forums. Some of the questions in the Associate forums are very similar to the SA Pro questions.
- Don't expect any sample or practice questions to reappear on the SA Pro exam.
- Expect 100% scenario questions on SA Pro.
- Don't expect any simple questions like, "Communicating through NAT doesn't work. What could be wrong?"
- Review hybrid scenario connectivity, especially Direct Connect. See especially AWS Answers: Networking
- Don't expect anything but really simple math that you can do in your head (IMO).
There are additional scenario questions on the internet, but beware, since many of the suggested answers are wrong. On the plus side, you'll learn something when you work out the right answer.
Thanks!
