The short version
Why the Aws interview is hard
AWS interviews are mostly about judgement, not memorisation. Given a requirement, which services would you choose and why, and what does that choice cost you in complexity, availability and money?
What to expect
The rounds you should rehearse
Service selection
justifying a choice against alternatives that would also work.
IAM and least privilege
getting access right, which is where cloud incidents usually begin.
Availability and cost
multi-AZ design, and honesty about what it is worth here.
Avoid these
The mistakes that quietly sink candidates
Listing services by name without a reason for choosing one over another.
Designing with permissive IAM and treating security as a later hardening pass.
Ignoring cost entirely, when cost is one of the main constraints on real cloud architecture.
Reading the questions is not practicing them.
Run a live voice mock tuned to the Aws interview. It follows your answers, probes the gaps, and scores you like a senior interviewer would.
