About These Notes
These notes are a comprehensive study guide for the AWS Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) certification.
Current Version: v4 (last updated: 2025-12-09)
Content Overview and Sources
- PART 1: Covers cloud computing fundamentals, AWS basics, and core AWS services. Sources include Adrian Cantrill’s materials:
- “Cloud Computing Fundamentals” is adapted from my notes on Cantrill’s Tech Fundamentals course.
- “AWS Accounts” and “AWS Fundamentals” come from Cantrill’s AWS Solutions Architect Associate course (paid).
- Following these materials hands-on provides invaluable practical experience with AWS accounts and core services, which is more effective than memorizing theory alone. This also sets a solid foundation for studying for the SAA-C03 certification afterward.
- PARTS 2 & 3: Derived from Stéphane Maarek’s Udemy course (paid).
- PART 2 provides a high-level overview of AWS services relevant to this certification.
- PART 3 covers AWS Well-Architected Framework, AWS Cloud Adoption Framework, and the surrounding AWS ecosystem and support.
