AWS / Professional / DOP-C02
DevOps Engineer Professional
Connect delivery, infrastructure, resilience and incident response into controlled automation with evidence and rollback.
THE REVISION PATH
Your topics, in order.
Read. Recall. Explain the alternative.
Artifacts, SAM and Continuous Delivery
Build once, identify the artifact, test it, then move traffic deliberately.
CloudFormation and Systems Manager Operations
Inspect the intended change, the actual state and the identity performing it.
ELB & Auto Scaling
A load balancer chooses a destination; an Auto Scaling group maintains capacity; application state must survive either decision.
Disaster Recovery & Migrations
RPO limits how much data may be lost; RTO limits how long useful service may be unavailable.
Monitoring & Audit
Metrics show symptoms, logs explain events, traces follow requests, and audit records identify changes.
Policy Evaluation and Security at Scale
A grant, a ceiling, a trust relationship and a network path are four separate checks.
Detection Engineering and Incident Response
Prepare, detect, contain, preserve evidence, eradicate, recover and learn.
Multi-Account Delivery and Supply-Chain Controls
Promote the same verified artifact through increasingly sensitive environments.
Event Automation and Resilience Engineering
An event is a trigger, not permission to repeat a destructive repair forever.
