Frequently asked questions
How does DVA-C02 differ from Solutions Architect Associate?
DVA-C02 tests building on AWS rather than designing it: SDK calls, Lambda configuration, DynamoDB access patterns and pipeline behavior. SAA asks which architecture fits; DVA asks why your code or deployment misbehaves and how to fix it.
How much coding does the exam involve?
You read code rather than write it. Questions show SDK snippets, IAM policies and buildspec files and ask what happens or what fixes the error. Comfort reading Python or JavaScript examples is enough.
What services dominate the exam?
Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, S3, SQS, CloudFormation and the CI/CD family (CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodePipeline), with IAM woven through everything. The development domain alone is 32% of scored content.
