Preparation
Although there are many resources available on the Internet to prepare this certification, I personally recommend doing it with official material, since unofficial sources could confuse you as they are outdated material or contain erroneous information.
For the above, I recommend using AWS Skill Builder, which is Amazon’s on-demand learning system, specifically the Exam Prep course: Exam Prep: AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (Spanish from Latin America), which will prepare you and guide you from the fundamentals of the cloud. computing to using the most important AWS products and services.
After completing the course, I recommend that you review each item in the exam guide and validate that you really know the main AWS services and products before scheduling your exam.
You can also test yourself before taking the official exam with the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Official Practice Exam (CLF-C01 — Spanish (Latin America)),, so you can gain more confidence and arrive better prepared.
Keep in mind that if your company is an AWS partner you will have free access to these learning resources, otherwise you will have to subscribe and pay to access some of the aforementioned material.
