Summary

In this chapter, we discussed other relevant services that can appear in the DevOps professional exam with a focus on security and policy services. This included looking at the Amazon GuardDuty and Amazon Macie services, and how they can work with AWS organizations on a regional basis to protect your assets and accounts from bad actors looking for vulnerabilities. We also examined SMS. This service is useful to know since as companies are quickening the pace of moving into the cloud from their current data centers, the ability to update those workloads once they are in there starts to fall on DevOps professionals such as yourself.

In the next chapter, we will look at the structure of the DevOps Professional certification exam. We'll discuss the formats available for taking the exam and talk about the exam blueprint. We will also give some pointers for studying for and passing the exam.
