Study Group for Professional Cloud Architect Certification

[RobloxHero]

This Study Group will be a cram session for the next 14 days. Every day for the next 14 days i'm going to create a google meet and link the invitation in this post twice per day!!. You are welcome to join and even lead the group if you are interested. Personally, I don't have experience leading study groups or creating study plans, so you are skilled in these areas, please contribute. For now, I'm thinking that each study group will be scheduled for an hour and be focused on one resource or a specific group of resources. For instance, VPC. VPC Creation, usage, we ask each other if there any areas of uncertainty when implementing this resource. And then allow, some members in the group to address the areas of uncertainty. If the time goes past one hour and we get in the groove of cramming, we may choose to study longer, but it's not required.

Study Group Times:

Morning Study Group = 6am - 7am Central Time (CT) 

Evening Study Group = 7pm - 8pm Central Time (CT)

I'm thinking that this evening is would be good to Study on

VPC Networks and Network Services

• Network Creation
• Internal and Cloud Network Access
• Multi Region and Region Specific Access
• IP and Subnet Allocation
• Terraform Tricks and Hacks

For me, my experience in using the resources in these areas are mainly limited to hosting external web application and web facing resources. Creating internal networks and/or connecting cloud networks into on-premise internal networks is an area of study I haven't had much experience. It may be good to discuss some use cases and experiences using specific resources combinations in the specified resource groups. If you have any ideas or would like to even lead tonights group, please reply to this post, so any of us planning on attending can be prepared to bring personal documentation or just be generally prepared.
