 &lt;strong&gt;Note&lt;/strong&gt;
 &lt;div&gt;
 As of &lt;a href="https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/training-and-certification/changes-to-aws-certification-exam-delivery/"&gt;January 1st, 2023&lt;/a&gt; all exams are delivered by Pearson VUE.
 &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/aside&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Certifications are able to be done by visiting a testing center, or remotely from home. Previously you would obtain the results of a base pass/fail at the end of the exam, however now they typically email it out within 24 hours. The quickest I've received it was within 8 hours (on a Saturday).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h5 id="in-person-testing"&gt;In-Person Testing&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I've selected In-Person testing for my Associate and CCP exams. The process was fairly simple, however any delays in the tests commencing can also be tedious. You are typically told to lock all of your personal things in a locker well before the exam commences, and have to wait around for the examination to happen. 1/3 times the wait was upwards of 45 minutes after arriving on time.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Hosting a Static Website in S3</title><link>https://www.spruceonline.com/docs/aws/s3-website/</link><pubDate>Fri, 23 Jul 2021 10:51:34 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.spruceonline.com/docs/aws/s3-website/</guid><description>&lt;aside class="callout callout--note"&gt;
 &lt;strong&gt;Note&lt;/strong&gt;
 &lt;div&gt;
 This Solution should be well below $5 per month as most of the items are within the &lt;a href="https://aws.amazon.com/free/"&gt;Always Free Tier&lt;/a&gt; except the AWS S3 Storage (Which only has valid free-tier for the first 12 month)..
 &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h1 id="using-codepipeline-to-host-a-static-website"&gt;Using CodePipeline to host a static Website&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are many ways to host a website online. In this example we will be reviewing one of the simplest ways to publish and automate a statically built website (Hugo is one such example of a system which can create static websites, and is popularly used for blogs). The final website itself will just contain HTML, CSS, Images and Javascript.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
