An overview of what this certification covers
The AWS Certified Developer - Associate (DVA-C02) validates a candidate's ability to develop, test, deploy, and debug AWS Cloud applications. The exam assesses proficiency with core AWS services, the AWS CLI and SDKs, APIs, IAM permissions, encryption, observability, and CI/CD patterns. It tests knowledge across four domains: developing with AWS services (including Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, and event-driven patterns), application security (authentication, authorization, encryption, and secrets management), deployment (artifact preparation, environment testing, and CI/CD pipelines), and troubleshooting and optimization (root-cause analysis, observability instrumentation, and performance tuning).
