How to study for 1Z0-1084-21 - Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Developer 2021 Associate

Hi all,

I decided to take all the 2021 OCI exams to check what changed and guide people in the process of taking these certifications.

Well, not all the exams. I will do only the ones that I did in 2019/2020 and are the things that I work on a day-to-day basis 🙂

I'm taking the tests after midnight, having two boys, it's the only quiet time at home :)

On this test, I was not expecting to see a lot of new things and it was the case, I got between 2 to 5 new questions.

Of course, I don't remember the question from the 2020 exam (did it one year ago), but I didn't remember studying these topics before.

One interesting thing about his test, if you go to the Oracle official practice test, you will find a lot of questions that you will not find the answer in the Oracle's material/documentation. And the worst part, you can find these answers on AWS, GCP, AZURE, and for my surprise, Alibaba Cloud.

A good start point is here:
