AWS Reference Guide – Services and Concepts


To pass the AWS Cloud foundation exam (CLF-C02) there is a reference guide that has all the technologies and services and concepts and stuff in an order just to show the sheer number of things you are suppose to know in order to pass the exam. Let’s get started.

There are two categories to know: Services and Concepts. Services are the things you can buy whilst concepts are why you should buy them. There are two other parts: AWS Support Plans Comparison (options on how to pay) and Shared Responsibility Model (who is responsible for what) but these two are small and easily remembered.

So you don’t totally freak out at the number of services lets start with the Concepts
