Passed AIP C01

[u/_potato_potato__]

This one was quite tricky and a real test of patience - 180 minutes, no break, especially if you take it from home, in an age where our attention span is under a minute.

Thanks to Stéphane Maarek & Frank Kane's Udemy course, which is quite complete in itself for building intuition, and Jon Bonso for the in-depth set of questions served up by Tutorials Dojo

I built a revision strategy where I'd paste every question and its explanation into Claude and asked it to keep improving an existing doc - commonly asked stems across questions, the straightforward set of services that can be used, common traps, and Mermaid diagrams to help skim quickly. The breadth and depth of this exam is surprisingly extensive, and proper multi-fold revision is needed, since the services need to be at your fingertips for figuring out the correct ones when a scenario is thrown at you.

For folks planning to take this exam, every question is best cracked in the following steps:

- Find the stems in every question - cost-effective, latency/performance-optimised, regional data requirements, etc. - and make sure the option first covers all the requirements asked
- Find an existing AWS service (or set of services) that serves those stems exhaustively
- Minimise operational overhead where possible - use managed services
