AWS CSAA Exam Experience

on

Not giving much away here, but you really do need to know your AWS products. A few question popped up which had me thinking "is that really an AWS product!" I did feel like some of the questions are trying to trick you with products that don't even exist.

So I came across this very good recent list of AWS services:
