As if my team and I weren't already busy enough with creating new learning paths for the previously announced AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty, and the upcoming refresh of the AWS Certified Advanced Networking Specialty certification, AWS have just announced an update to what can be considered their most popular certification, the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate certification.

The current AWS SAA-C02 certification was released on March 23, 2020 so it's been generally available for almost two years already, so it's not that surprising that it is being updated. The rate of change and innovation with AWS in two years is huge. By updating their certification to include the latest services, features and best practices ensures that the certification continues to prove it's worth to both businesses and individuals.
