SAP-C03 Practice Exam

SAP-C03 in-scope services: the full list

The 105 AWS services and features the SAP-C03 exam guide lists as in scope, grouped as AWS groups them. 20 are new compared with SAP-C02. For each one: the guide skills that name it as an example, and how many questions in our bank mention it.

AWS calls the list non-exhaustive: a question can mention other services as part of a scenario. A service with no skill naming it can still appear as part of a scenario, but study time goes further on the services the skills name.
