How do you actually come up with good icons for these things? I can imagine a few for things like sns, sqs, and lambda, but what's the right icon for kinesis?

Not a fan of either, but Azure icons look like actual things: http://code.benco.io/icon-collection/azure-icons/ The AWS icons seem procedurally generated based on a hash of each concept's name.
Yeah, limiting yourself to minor variations of a 3x3x3 cube is pretty rough. GCP shows you can have strong brand consistency (even a limited color palette) while still having decent illustrations [1]. [1] https://www.turbogeek.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/word-...
Is there no way to see the correct answers after finishing the quiz?

It makes me wonder too how many of these actually _are_ the "it's like". For example, I know that Elasticache actually is redis or memcached... makes me wonder if Kinesis isn't actually Kafka rebranded.
It's not. Kinesis was around before Kafka became the de-facto tool for data streaming. AWS has a separate managed Kafka service called MSK, which came much later.
This reminded me of AWS in plain English https://expeditedsecurity.com/aws-in-plain-english/
It's interesting to me that many of the non-AWS products they list under "it's like" have equally incomprehensible names. API Gateway Should have been called: API Proxy It's like: 3Scale SNS Should have been called: Amazon Messenger It's like: UrbanAirship, Twilio Kinesis Should have been called: Amazon High-Throughput It's like: Kafka (It always gets me that someone actually named a large software product "Kafka".)
Same. Though, I forget what it is since I heard about it. Now I think it's funny that it could refer to either cruel bureaucracy or turning into a bug.

I sense a business opportunity: Euthanasia as a Service. EaaS. With an API.
I’ve heard google has an alpha version of this for internal use only. From time to time they let it run loose to clean up their products.
For people despairing about their ability to score on this quiz asking such simple things as what color is the S3 icon. The quiz is using the Cloud Formation Designer icons not the ones you see every day in the console or in the icon asset pack from the AWS site you might be using in your architecture diagrams. So unless you spend a load of time using that to build your CFTs rejoice you shouldn't be surprised you're…
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.
