As may of you may know, the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Exam (CLF-C02) had a huge update in September 2023, turning it from CLF-C01 to CLF-C02. There was a lot of content added, including a lot of services and a few frameworks and concepts.
My AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Exam preparation courses hosted at LinkedIn Learning have all been updated to help you prepare for the CLF-C02 update! Check them out here: Introduction to AWS For Non-Engineers!
I’m currently hard at work preparing the updates for my LinkedIn Learning course series, “Introduction to AWS for Non-Engineers,” but in the meantime, I wanted to create a resource dump for those of you hoping to take the exam before the updates are released!
