AWS Cloud Practitioner practice questions
Exam-style questions across all four CLF-C02 domains, in the weightings the real paper uses. Every option is explained, including the three you did not pick.
The AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam (CLF-C02) tests whether you understand the AWS cloud well enough to talk about it accurately: what the services are for, where your responsibility ends and AWS's begins, how the bill is put together, and which governance and support tools exist. It is the entry-level certification, so it assumes no hands-on background, but it does assume you can read a three-line scenario, notice that the work in it must never be interrupted, and rule out the cheap answer.
- Questions written as scenarios, the way CLF-C02 actually asks
- The four domains in the exam's own proportions, not an even split
- Every wrong option explained, so you learn why you nearly picked it

A question from the bank, graded, with the trap that catches most candidates.
Everything you need for AWS Cloud Practitioner, in one place
Practice, explanations, a timed paper and a plan. Free to start, and it remembers where you left off.
Every wrong option explained
Most banks tell you the answer was C. This one tells you why you picked B, which is where the marks actually leak.
Timed exam simulator
Sit a full paper under the clock with explanations hidden until you submit, then read a breakdown by topic.
Flashcards that space themselves
Cards you find hard come back sooner. Cards you know disappear for weeks, so revision time goes where it is needed.
A plan built to your exam date
Tell it when you sit, and the material is split across the days you have left, weighted to what you keep getting wrong.
Weak areas found for you
Mastery is tracked per concept from your answers, so you are sent back to the topics costing you marks, not the ones you enjoy.
Works in twenty minutes
On a phone, in a queue, between lectures. Tap an answer, read why it was wrong, move on. Your progress follows you.

Not a marketing mock-up. This item is pulled live from the AWS Cloud Practitioner bank, with everything a member sees: why the answer is right, why each of the other three is wrong, and the trap the examiner set.
Security and Compliance · The Shared Responsibility Model
A company runs an application on EC2 instances. A security audit finds the guest operating system is missing several months of patches. Under the shared responsibility model, who was responsible for applying them?
- AAWS, because AWS operates the underlying infrastructureAWS secures the infrastructure the instance runs on, not the operating system inside it.
- BThe customer, because the guest operating system is their responsibility on EC2
- CShared equally between AWS and the customerThe model divides responsibilities rather than sharing individual tasks; guest OS patching sits entirely with the customer.
- DThe Availability Zone operatorAn Availability Zone is a set of data centres, not a party with security responsibilities of its own.
EC2 is an infrastructure service, so the customer manages everything from the guest operating system upwards, including its patches. AWS is responsible for the hypervisor and the physical infrastructure beneath it.
Exam trap
The split moves with the service. Patching is yours on EC2 and AWS's on a managed database service such as RDS.

CLF-C02 is a scenario paper more than a vocabulary test. Much of it describes a situation and expects a service or a responsibility back, so the useful skill is not reciting what Lambda is but recognising, from a description of short work triggered by an upload, that the answer cannot be an instance sitting idle all day.
Two rules decide a surprising number of questions. The shared responsibility split moves with the service, so patching the operating system is yours on EC2 and AWS's on RDS. And an explicit deny in IAM beats any allow, however the allow got there. Papers build elaborate scenarios on top of both.
The rest of the marks go to reading carefully. Questions ask for the lowest support plan that qualifies, or the minimum architecture that survives losing a data centre, and then offer an option that works but overshoots. Practising against items written the same way is the point of this bank.
What the exam covers
Cloud Concepts24%
The six benefits, deployment and service models, Regions and Availability Zones, and the Well-Architected Framework pillars.
Security and Compliance30%
The shared responsibility model, IAM users, groups, roles and policy evaluation, the root user, encryption, and the security services examiners keep pairing off.
Cloud Technology and Services34%
Compute, storage, database and networking services, chosen from a scenario that names none of them, plus the ways you reach AWS.
Billing, Pricing and Support12%
EC2 purchasing options, the billing tools, Organizations and consolidated billing, Trusted Advisor and the four support plans.
Questions people ask before starting
No. CLF-C02 is the entry-level certification and assumes no hands-on background. The questions here start from what each service is for, then move to the scenarios the exam actually asks, where a service is described but never named.
