SKILL BENCHMARK
AWS Certified DevOps Engineer 2021: AWS SDLC Automation Competency (Intermediate Level)
- 25m
- 25 questions
The AWS SDLC Automation Competency benchmark assesses your understanding of concepts, such as using the AWS CodeCommit service to apply source code control in the software development life cycle (SDLC). You will be evaluated on your skills for using AWS CodeDeploy to demonstrate concepts related to the deployment stage of the SDLC. A learner who scores high on this benchmark demonstrates that they have the skills necessary to apply concepts related to the SDLC CI/CD pipeline using AWS CodePipeline and related tools and services.
