Use this page to translate older DVA-C01 Developer Associate material into current DVA-C02 preparation. The current DVA-C02 page includes original sample questions and exam guidance while full IT Mastery practice is being prioritized.

Use DVA-C02 for the current Developer Associate route, then use live AWS architecture and operations practice for adjacent skills.

What still transfers

Lambda, API, event-driven integration, IAM roles, deployment, and troubleshooting concepts may still help.
Current DVA-C02 preparation should control service behavior, security expectations, and deployment patterns.
SAA-C03 and SOA-C03 practice can support architecture and operations context while DVA-C02 coverage is still expanding.

Common stale-prep traps

Using long-lived keys where current patterns expect roles and temporary credentials.
Ignoring newer deployment, rollback, observability, or event-integration expectations.
Treating old service screenshots as current behavior.

Practice strategy

Use the DVA-C02 sample questions to test current developer judgment. If your misses are about architecture, drill SAA-C03. If they are about logs, metrics, retries, or operations, drill SOA-C03.
