Oh hell I have spent the last decade working with AWS and I still have no idea what any of the icons are. They are all complete shit. Literally the worst. To be fair I can't remember half the product names other than the core ones either. Elastic Banana or whatever. Maybe Dynamo Donkey. I just don't know any more. Edit: I'm also an AWS Architect Professional or whatever it's called now. Shows how a monkey can pass th…

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…

Thank you. While they're familiar, I couldn't figure out where to go to see these cuboid icon variants. Spent a few minutes clicking around the Console and the AWS web site / marketing pages, and didn't encounter a single one. When I think AWS icons, I only know the AWS Console favicons and thumbnails in Console search results. I was perplexed when it offered ELB as an answer when I've only known ELB to exist within…

I was really confused too going through when I got to "What color is the S3 icon?" I was happy to finally get one and confidently answered green only to be told I was wrong. I even went to check the console and it was green, that's when I started wondering where they were pulling these from and someone else mentioned it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

3/20 and two correct ones were guesses here; I was actually wondering what's wrong with me, asking "Dude, have you ever even seen the AWS console at this point?" (I have in fact stared at it way too much). Goes to show a lot of these icons just aren't very distinctive and don't seem to matter much.

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.

Is this service only available to those who pass the test?

Spoken like a true software/devops engineer…
