Taking care of business (every way)
Happy National Bow Tie ๐Day!
So last week, we dusted ourselves off, climbed ๐งโโ๏ธ back up on our horse ๐, and reconvened with our continuous learning adventures. To get ourselves warmed๐ฅ up we decided to renew our knowledge with PowerShell โก๏ธ๐ but we still had some unfinished business to attend too. If you have been following our travels ๐, you might remember earlier this month we hit a bump in the road. But just like the armless Black Knight ๐ก๐ก from Monty Python and the Holy Grail it was just a mere โflesh woundโ. Ok, perhaps not. Actually, at the time ๐ฐ๏ธ it stung ๐ pretty bad ๐ but after a two-week investigation by the good folks at AWS โ๏ธ it was deemed that my test on the 4th of August had indeed got corrupted. They offered their sincere apology for the inconvenience and more importantly provided me a voucher so I can reschedule the AWS Cloud Practitioner Exam at no cost. Well, this week I decided to re-take the exam ๐ and I am happy ๐ to report I passed the exam ๐ without issue.
To help prepare for the exam๐ I purchased the Udemy – AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner 500 Practice Exam Questions. There were some similar questions taken from this course’s practice tests but it seems AWSโ๏ธ likes to keep their certified professionals honest. So there were quite a few questions I have never seen before.
So itโs highly recommend that in addition to gaining practical experience working with AWS that you also review there courseware and fully understand the core concepts like the AWS Well-Architected Framework and have a good basic understanding of many of the AWS Products and services
Despite the obstacle earlier this month, it was good experience preparing for the exam and ultimately passing and getting the certification. Now, we are even more well reversed in the cloud โ๏ธ and have street cloud โ๏ธ credit to back it up. ๐
โAnd I’m on my wayโฆ I don’t know where I’m going ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ… I’m on my way… I’m taking my time โณ… But I don’t know where?โ
Below are some areas I am considering for my travels next week:
- Azure Fundamentals Courseware

Congrats on passing the Cloud Practitioner exam, Mark! One of our best engineers recently passed the Azure Fundamentals test – he said it was an incredibly tough nut to crack. I’d be happy to connect you to him if you’d like.
Thanks Cathy. I appreciate the offer. ๐
