My Study Guide for AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Exam — Cheat Sheet

Although the series “My Study Guide for AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Exam” provides an extensive survey of questions and answers, it will be ideal to have a “cheat sheet” for quick reference.

I include the link back to each post for reference.
