Who does @awscloud think they are, Google? Charging for a beta, my god...

That said, I will take the beta exam cold and report back if AWS finds a voucher / wants to drum up publicity.

I'll even turn it into a fundraising drive.

If @PearsonVUE decides that an infant or toddler in the next room being noisy voids the exam, I will rain fire and brimstone down upon @awscloud for it.

Sure, it's a Pearson requirement--but it's being done in AWS's name.

Well this is some Systems Manager Testing Manager tier quality.

Someone at @PearsonVUE right about now: "Duckbill? Why does that sound so familiar OH MY GOD NO!"

They've never dealt with me before; my CEO @mike_julian is *WAY* more pleasant than I.

I am both allowed to have a beverage during this 3 hour and 45 minute test, and not allowed to have a beverage. I will order a Schrödinger's Coffee to appease Pearson Vue, but secretly begin advocating for Pearson React instead.

Now I'm curious about the missing five.

Thought Crime is very 2021.

I will point out that despite all of the effort @awscloud and @PearsonVUE clearly put into policing what people wear, there's nothing in these rules that prevents me from taking the test bare-assed naked. I do believe I'm restricted from streaming the test content on OnlyFans.

If "remember the flags for the AWS CLI" is a portion of the lab exam I am going to feed some hapless Amazonian their own metaphorical ass.

One thing I'd love to hear from @awscloud officially: what specific date should I assume this exam is covering? Limitations that are referenced in questions get relaxed over time; things that weren't possible yesterday are today.

And I guess playtime is over.

@PearsonVUE, what's your security contact for vulnerability disclosures? This thread's tone aside, I'm not kidding.
