AWS updates and occasionally retires services and features as part of ongoing development. While Exam Prep content is regularly updated, there are brief periods when our courses may not reflect the current state of AWS services. We recommend checking the latest AWS documentation and announcements for the most accurate and up-to-date information about the current availability of services and features.
In August 2024, AWS announced that we are removing access to a number of services or features for new customers, including several included in this course. These include: AWS Cloud9 and Amazon Forecast. We will remove references in the next course update.
