AWS have released an update on their most popular and wide-ranging certification course.

The software architect exam at associate level SAA-C01 has been retired and SAA-C02 takes its place.

October 2020 Update: I passed!

Commenters with experience of the two will maintain that as long as you keep to the fundamentals of the 5 pillars of the well-architected framework, the two exams have mostly the same content.

In the SAA-C02 exam, the new technologies we should be aware of:
