FAQ

Questions, answered

Which cloud certification should I do first?
If you are new, start with a fundamentals exam (AWS Cloud Practitioner, AZ-900 or Google Cloud Digital Leader), then an Associate exam for your role. With 1 to 3 years of hands-on work you can go straight to Associate. The path finder orders the exams for your cloud, role and experience.
How long does it take to prepare for AWS, Azure or Kubernetes exams?
Typically 25 to 40 study hours for a fundamentals exam, 90 to 100 for Associate exams and the CKA, and 120 to 150 for Professional or Expert exams. The study planner turns your exam date and free hours into a weekly plan.
How much do cloud certifications cost in India?
AWS and Google Cloud exams cost about 100 to 300 US dollars, Microsoft charges exams taken in India in rupees, and CNCF Kubernetes exams cost about 250 to 445 US dollars. Prices change, so the cost calculator lets you edit every fee: check the vendor's current price before you book.
Are these tools free and private?
Yes. All 6 tools are free, need no sign-up and run in your browser; nothing you type is sent to CareerByteCode. Your renewal list is kept only in this browser.
Where can I practise for the exam?
Take CareerByteCode practice exams and courses: each tool links to the ones for the cloud you pick, and passing a CareerByteCode exam adds a verified certificate to your public profile.
