What the DVA-C02 exam tests
- Development with AWS services: Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS and the SDKs.
- Security: IAM roles, Cognito, encryption and secrets management.
- Deployment: CI/CD, CloudFormation, SAM and deployment strategies.
- Troubleshooting and optimization: logging, tracing with X-Ray, and performance.
Sample DVA-C02 exam question
A Lambda function needs a database password. How should the developer provide it securely?
- Hard-code it in the function code
- Put it in a plain-text environment variable
- Store it in AWS Secrets Manager and read it at runtime using the function’s execution role
- Store it in a public S3 object
Answer: 3. Secrets Manager stores the secret encrypted, controls access through IAM and can rotate it. Hard-coded and plain-text secrets are easy to leak. Every question in our bank explains its answer like this.
Two ways to prepare: Practice Mode and Mock Exam Mode
- Practice Mode: study at your own pace. Choose how many questions you want in each session, from a short set to all 455+ questions, with no time limit and an in-depth explanation after every answer. Progress saves automatically.
- Mock Exam Mode (Timed Mode): sit a full mock exam that mimics the real one: 65 random questions in 130 minutes, scored at the end. Every attempt draws a new random set.
- In-depth explanations: every question comes with a detailed explanation that walks you through what the question is really asking and why the correct answer is right, so you understand the reasoning instead of memorizing answers.
- Benchmarking: compare your scores with other candidates and see which topics need work.
- Lifetime access with updates whenever AWS changes the exam.

DVA-C02 FAQ
Is DVA-C02 the current version of the exam?
Yes, until November 30, 2026. AWS is replacing it with DVA-C03 after that date.
How long is the certification valid?
Three years. After that you recertify by passing the current version of the exam.
Are these real exam questions or dumps?
Neither. AWS’s real questions are confidential, and using dumps breaks its exam rules and can cost you the certification. These are original questions written to the same format and topics, each with an in-depth explanation.
What happens if I fail?
AWS requires a 14-day wait before a retake, and each attempt is paid in full. Our money-back guarantee covers your ScrumPrep purchase. See the guarantee terms.
