I'm planning to take the AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate exam in the next two months, and while I have some hands-on experience with core services like EC2 and S3, I'm feeling overwhelmed by the breadth of topics and the scenario-based questions. I'm using a popular online course and practice tests, but I'm worried about gaps in my knowledge, especially around networking and security best practices. For those who have recently passed, what specific study resources or hands-on labs were most valuable for understanding the architectural trade-offs and applying the Well-Architected Framework principles to the exam questions?
