Changes will consist of slightly different domain weightings and renaming

The new domain weighting is

Other content changes include

Domain 1

This domain now includes the transformation of business outcomes to the AWS Cloud. This is covered by the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF). This framework, updated in 2021, provides more structured and prescriptive guidance to digitally transform and accelerate your business outcomes through the innovative use of AWS. You can use AWS CAF to identify and prioritize transformation opportunities, evaluate and improve cloud readiness, and iteratively evolve a transformation roadmap.

Domain 2

This domain now includes governance at a higher level to manage your AWS resources. More and more AWS services now include governance. AWS now offers new options for centralizing governance to manage and govern at scale with AWS Cloud.

Domain 3

This domain is now divided into specific topics to give exam candidates more direction on how to prepare for the exam. Previously, this domain included multiple high-level topics. This made it difficult for candidates to understand where to focus their preparation efforts. Amazon have now broken that domain up into the following topics: Compute (3.3), Database (3.4), Network (3.5), Storage (3.6), AI/ML (3.7), and Other (3.8), with knowledge and skill statements for each topic included in the exam guide.

Domain 4

This domain now includes support as a consolidated topic, making it easier for candidates to understand the content. Previously, aspects of support were spread across other domains.
