Topics
The DVA-C02 exam guide's domains are development with AWS services, security, deployment, and troubleshooting and optimisation. Questions here cover Lambda configuration and concurrency, API Gateway stages, DynamoDB keys and queries, S3 events, SQS and SNS, Cognito, IAM roles for applications, Secrets Manager, CodePipeline and CodeDeploy, Elastic Beanstalk, CloudWatch and X-Ray.
The real exam has 65 questions in 130 minutes, scored from 100 to 1,000 with a pass mark of 720.
A sample question explained
"Which DynamoDB operation reads items by partition key most efficiently?" The answer is Query. A Query uses the partition key to go straight to the right partition and can narrow results with the sort key. A Scan reads every item in the table and then filters, so it uses far more read capacity as the table grows. In exam scenarios, a request to "reduce read capacity usage" often points to replacing a Scan with a Query, sometimes on a new index.
Score example: 20 out of 25 right is 80% in this practice set.
Study tips
- Build a small serverless app: API Gateway, Lambda and DynamoDB. Most questions are easier once you've done it.
- Know where to store secrets (Secrets Manager or Parameter Store, never in code).
- Learn deployment strategies: all-at-once, rolling, blue/green and canary.
