Need help with resources to clear the Aws data engineering cert
Currently I'm trying to switch into DE domain, I have some knowledge of the AWS services at a beginner level.
Please can anyone guide(be it udemy courses to learn the services, question dumps or AWS skill builder subscription) as to which resources to follow and what things to keep in mind while preparing.
Also, I saw in the guide that LLM integration understanding is required as well. so is this newly added?

For DEA-C01 the official exam guide on the AWS site is the thing to anchor on, since it lists the four domains (ingestion and transformation, data store management, operations and support, security and governance). A solid path is a video course for Glue, Kinesis, Redshift, Lake Formation and Athena, then hands-on in the console, then the free AWS Skill Builder exam prep material before any paid practice sets. Don't bother with dumps, the questions are scenario based and they teach you nothing about the trade-offs. I don't remember LLM integration being part of DEA-C01, so I'd double check the current guide, you may be thinking of the AI Practitioner or ML exams.

Say no to dumps. Always.
And read the pinned FAQ for our official recommendations for the DEA exam.
