“

- [Instructor] The AWS Certified Advanced Networking Specialty Exam has four different exam domains. Each exam domain is composed of two or more Task Statements. A Task Statement is a subcategory of the exam domain that contains the required cloud concepts, knowledge and skills for you to accomplish a particular task or activity in AWS. Each exam domain also has a corresponding weight and topic coverage in the test. The exam domains for the AWS Certified Advanced Networking Specialty, ANS-C01 Certification Test are as follows. Domain 1 is Network Design. Domain 2 is Network Implementation. Domain 3 is Network Management and Operation. And Domain 4 is Network Security, Compliance and Governance. Domain 1 has 30% coverage for the ANS-C01 exam, which makes it the biggest knowledge area for the test. This is followed by Domain 2 at 26% and Domain 4 at 24% respectively. Domain 3 has the smallest topic coverage rate among all the four exam domains at just 20%. The first exam domain is focused on checking your fundamental knowledge in network design, global network architectures, edge network services, traffic management, DNS solutions, hybrid networks, load balancing, and many others. It includes the following Task Statements. Design a solution that incorporates edge network services to optimize user performance and traffic management for global architectures. Design DNS solutions that meet public, private, and hybrid requirements. Design solutions that integrate load balancing to meet high availability, scalability and security requirements. Define logging and monitoring requirements across AWS and hybrid networks. Design a routing strategy and connectivity architecture between on-premises networks and the AWS cloud. And lastly, design a routing strategy and connectivity architecture that includes multiple AWS accounts, AWS regions and virtual private clouds to support different connectivity patterns. This one is the biggest exam domain of the AWS Advanced Networking Test at 30%, so make sure that you spend a lot of time reviewing the topics in this section. The second exam domain revolves around the actual implementation of your network designs and architectures in the AWS cloud, on-premises data centers and other remote networks. Its Task Statements are the following. Implement routing and connectivity between on-premises networks and the AWS cloud. Implement routing and connectivity across multiple AWS accounts, regions, and VPCs to support different connectivity patterns. Implement complex hybrid and multi-account DNS architectures. And finally, automate and configure network infrastructure. This domain is the second biggest exam domain of the AWS Advanced Networking Test at 26% coverage, so make sure that you spend a lot of time reviewing the topics in this section. The third exam domain is all about the Network Management and Operation in your AWS cloud architecture. The Task Statements included in this domain are, maintain routing and connectivity on AWS and hybrid networks. Monitor and analyze network traffic to troubleshoot and optimize connectivity patterns. And last but not the least, optimize AWS networks for performance, reliability and cost effectiveness. This domain is the smallest one out of the four exam domains of the AWS Advanced Networking Test, at 20% of the scored content, so make sure that you limit the time reviewing the topics in this section. The fourth and last exam domain covers the actual implementation of security, compliance and governance of your network architectures in AWS. This includes implement and maintain network features to meet security and compliance needs and requirements. Validate and audit security by using network monitoring and logging services. And lastly, implement and maintain confidentiality of data and communications of the network. The fourth exam domain has the third biggest coverage of the exam with 24% of the scored content.
