AWS Certified Developer - Associate 2022: Deployment Competency (Intermediate Level)
- 30m
- 30 questions
The Deployment Competency (Intermediate Level) benchmark calibrates your ability to use various AWS technologies to provision configuration as code (CaC) and orchestrate AWS code services to create CI/CD processes. You will be evaluated on your skills in recognizing the use of AWS Elastic Beanstalk, deploying applications and environments using Elastic Beanstalk, as well as efficiently using the Amazon EC2 service to configure, launch, secure, and interact with computing environments on AWS. Learners who score high on this benchmark demonstrate that they have the skills to automate deployment testing, prepare application artifacts to be deployed to AWS, and deploy code using AWS CI/CD services.
