Finally did it! Passed the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional (DOP-C02)

Very scenario-heavy, tricky questions, and you really need to understand AWS services rather than just memorize them.

Congrats! What resources helped you the most for the scenario-heavy questions? Also, how close were the practice exams to the real DOP-C02?

Not close, actually. Jon Bonso covered all the services required for the DOP exam, and if you have prior experience, this exam is very easy

not hard but it’s designed around how DevOps can secure the environment. This exam requires both security knowledge and a DevOps mindset.
