- 3. Review your resultsMissed cards come back later in the round. At the end see your score by topic and download the cards to revise.
What the deck covers
The deck covers the core AWS services and design ideas most cloud interviews start with. The 21 cards are grouped into 10 topics: Basics, Compute, Storage, Networking, Databases, Security, Integration, Monitoring, Architecture, Delivery. Answers are short on purpose: one or two sentences you can say out loud, which you then back up with an example from your own projects.
A card from the deck
Q: Public vs private subnet?
A: A public subnet has a route to an internet gateway. A private subnet doesn't; its instances reach the internet outbound through a NAT gateway.
A common follow-up asks how a private instance downloads updates: through a NAT gateway in a public subnet.
How to study with it
- Draw a VPC with public and private subnets from memory, then add a load balancer, an Auto Scaling group and a database across two Availability Zones.
- Link each card to something you've deployed, even a free-tier experiment, and set a billing alarm before you start.
- In the AWS deck, cards you mark "still learning" come back three cards later in the same round, and the results screen lists them so you can download a revision sheet.
