FAQs: Is the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional difficult?
AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional is one of the most challenging AWS certifications. The exam is at the professional level and candidates are expected to have advanced knowledge of various AWS services, particularly those related to DevOps. This includes continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD), automation, infrastructure as code, monitoring, logging, and security.
The exam also covers a wide range of topics, from networking and security to application deployment and continuous monitoring. Candidates need to be proficient in multiple areas, including systems architecture, code deployment, and operations. Topics include advanced AWS services like AWS CloudFormation, AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeDeploy, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, IAM, and more. Understanding how these services interact and can be automated is crucial.
Finally, the exam is heavily scenario-based, requiring candidates to apply their knowledge to real-world situations. This includes troubleshooting, optimizing, and automating AWS environments. Questions are often complex, with multiple steps needed to find the correct solution. You might need to evaluate several potential solutions and select the best one based on cost, efficiency, security, and scalability.
Who should attempt this exam?
This certification is best suited to professionals with significant hands-on experience with AWS, particularly in roles involving DevOps. The exam is tailored for those working as DevOps Engineers, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), Solution Architects with DevOps Focus, or similar professionals responsible for automation, infrastructure as code, and continuous delivery.

FAQs
Yes, we do provide courses suitable for beginners. However, Firebrand's accelerated courses aren't easy and it's essential that you are interested and actively pursuing a career in IT.
Traditional training providers usually run their courses from 9am to 5pm. At Firebrand Training we maximise the number of learning hours to minimise the number of training days, so you’ll be back to your job as quickly as possible. You don’t waste time travelling to several courses and finding an exam centre after that.
Firebrand's accelerated courses are constantly reviewed. We ask our delegates for feedback after every course. We are official partners with leading vendors and therefore, we're provided with certification changes and updates, which we can then implement in our course delivery at a very early stage. This feedback is then analysed in view of changes or discrepancies. We will then address the topics mentioned and have a panel of subject matter experts provide us with valuable suggestions for improvement and solutions.
If you need to learn new skills and you want to be able to put them into practice quickly, then Firebrand is the right training company for you.
