Read the key points for each exam domain, then use “Practice this domain” to answer questions from that domain only. Domains with a larger weight appear more often on the exam.

Architecture Design and Implementation Built for the Cloud

25%

Learning goals

Use the same query for two tenants and verify documents never cross their boundaries.

Key points

Separate throughput, latency, data classification and tenant boundaries. Design RAG ingestion, index refresh, authorized retrieval and response paths, plus inference capacity and failure behavior. Connect AI to existing messaging, workflow and container choices; model-training implementation is a separate concern.

Security, Compliance, and Governance

25%

Learning goals

Verify denied Regions and tool operations, including their audit evidence.

Key points

SCPs set permission ceilings rather than granting access. Combine roles, resource policies, encryption and audits for least privilege. Add tool authorization and approvals for consequential actions alongside content controls. Validate residency across inference, logs and replication.

Workplace uses

Cost-Optimized Architecture Design

15%

Learning goals

Hold performance targets constant and compare usage and monthly estimates.

Key points

Separate steady and variable demand when choosing commitments, scaling and storage tiers. Compare NAT, endpoint and inter-Region transfer costs. For AI, measure tokens, latency and quality, assess batching and authorization-aware caching, and attribute usage to departments.

Workplace uses

Resilience, Migration, and Business Continuity

15%

Learning goals

Run key transactions on the restored system and record measured RPO and RTO.

Key points

Map dependencies into migration waves and define synchronization and rollback conditions. Agree on acceptable data loss (RPO) and recovery time (RTO) before choosing DR. Backups alone do not prove recoverability: drill restoration, failover and consistency in another environment.

Workplace uses

PracticeRun key transactions on the restored system and record measured RPO and RTO.

Operational Excellence and Automation

20%

Learning goals

Test rollout stop conditions and rollback, retaining evidence for operators.

Key points

Review IaC changes and drift; promote scanned artifacts through approvals. AI revisions require quality and safety evaluations beyond HTTP success. Monitor SLOs and user experience, and bound remediation targets, attempts and duration to prevent cascading failures.

Workplace uses
