+# Exam guide walkthrough
+
+The most important information for you so you have an idea of what we're trying to
+study for.
+
+[AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) Exam
+Guide](https://d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-cloud-practitioner/AWS-Certified-Cloud-Practitioner_Exam-Guide.pdf)
+
+* [Target candidate](#target-candidate)
+* [Domains covered](#domains-covered)
+* [What is covered](#what-is-covered)
+
+## Target candidate
+
+Ideal for candidates for non-IT backgrounds.
+
+Out of scope: coding, cloud architeture design, troubleshooting, implementation, load
+and performance testing
+
+NO AWS cert will test your coding, diagramming, or performance testing skills.
+
+## Domains covered
+
+AWS certifications cover explain, understand, describe, and identify... aka more
+conceptual understanding vs. hands on technical skills.
+
+AWS lists a lot of concepts that might be on the exam, but not all will show up.
+
+We have four domains here.
+
+* Cloud Concepts 28%
+* Security 24%
+* Technology 36%
+* Billing and Pricing 12%
+
+From the class notes:
+
+The largest portion of the exam is Technology at 36% and Billing and Pricing is the
+lowest which is funny because I find it to be the most valuable information in the
+entire course.
+
+With Cloud Concepts we need to be able to define the AWS Cloud in its proposition, we
+need to be able to identify aspects of AWS Cloud Economics and list the different
+Cloud Architectural Principles.
+
+For Security you will learn a variety of AWS Security Services and shared
+responsibility models.
+
+For Technology you will learn all core AWS Services and other AWS Services and Global
+Infrastructures.
+
+Billing and Pricing is how we know how much things cost and how we can save money on
+AWS, how to compare and contrast various pricing models for AWS, how to recognize the
+various account structures in relation to ASW Billing and Pricing and how to Identify
+Resources for Billing Support.
+
+When you do take this exam it has 65 questions and you have both multiple choice and
+multiple response. For multiple choice you're going to choose one out of four, or
+multiple response where you choose two or more out of five or more options but
+generally it's two out of five or three out of six.
+
+I just want to highlight one more thing, which is the white papers. Any time you
+study for an exam, AWS always has suggestion's to study these white papers first. At
+the CCP level it's not so important because we definitely cover the content here.
+When you study for harder exams however, especially the Professionals and
+Specialties, you have to read the white papers, but again at this level, it's not so
+important.
+
+## What is covered
+
+* **Cloud concepts**
+    * Value proposition of the AWS Cloud
+    * AWS well-architected framework
+    * Cloud adoption strategies
+    * Resources to support the cloud migration journey (such as the AWS Cloud Adoption
+        Framework)
+    * Aspects of cloud economics
+    * Cost savings of moving to the cloud
+* **Security and compliance**
+    * AWS shared responsibility model
+    * AWS compliance and governance concepts
+    * Benefits of cloud security (e.g. encryption)
+    * Where to capture and locate logs associated with cloud security
+    * Identity and access management (e.g. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM))
+    * Importance of protecting the AWS root user account
+    * Principle of least privilege
+    * AWS IAM Identity Center (AWS Single Sign-On)
