About this practice exam

The AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Certification exam tests a candidate’s ability to demonstrate overall knowledge of the AWS Cloud, independent of a specific job role: explain the value of the AWS Cloud, understand the AWS shared responsibility model and the AWS Well-Architected Framework, apply security best practices, understand AWS Cloud costs, economics, and billing practices, and describe and position core AWS compute, network, database, and storage services. This practice exam prepares you for AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) across Cloud Concepts, Security and Compliance, Cloud Technology and Services, and Billing, Pricing, and Support.

The exam emphasizes AWS Cloud benefits and design principles, the AWS shared responsibility model, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and AWS IAM Identity Center, AWS global infrastructure, core compute, database, network, and storage services, and AWS pricing, billing, and support. It does not primarily assess coding, designing cloud architecture, troubleshooting, implementation, or load and performance testing.
