The real question is: can I configure it with a CloudFormation stack?

No but a beta Terraform provider is available. Just don’t forget to import the existing resource lest strange things happen.

Ahem, did you mean OpenTF?

Where do these icons come from they don't match what's used in the AWS console at all. So many of these are weird because I mostly know of their icons from the main console page which apparently doesn't match the ones this quiz is pulling from because it said the S3 icon isn't green and the IAM icon is a key. In the console it's green and an ID with a lock icon on it at least for me.

I think they may be an older AWS icon set. I was just doing making an infrastructure diagram in lucid chart and the S3 icon was red and I recognized it so I got it right, but it doesn't match whats in the console now

The other person has it right. It's the icon set used in Cloudformation Designer. Which doesn't even match their current icon asset packet for Powerpoint, those generally seem to use the ones used in the console from my limited survey.

That's why I think Adobe has made the smart move. They simply use English as the icon, color as the impression.

You can guess via the English if you are unfamiliar with the icon. And easy to spot via the color if you already know the icon.

Let's say if I forget the characters in the Illustrator icon. But I can recognize the icon is Illustrator because of its orange color.

Now if yEd had a way to search in the icon library... the way services are grouped is completely incomprehensible.

If you pass this, a team of medical professionals will be sent to your home to peacefully euthanize you, as it is the only ethical choice to end your suffering.

I sense a business opportunity: Euthanasia as a Service. EaaS. With an API.

What should the icon look like?

I don't know that I should be angry or relieved that I only got half of them right. I've been working with AWS since it existed.

Terraform doesn't make me want to use EaaS though.

I worked at AWS for 7 years and only got 1/20

I was the primary maintainer for one of the services they asked about, and I still got that question wrong. 4/20 for me, but three were lucky guesses

are you saying 420 is reason for not doing well?
