Challenging but no questions were unexpected. Needed a strong understanding of the AWS services as well as how to architect the services together. I would say that just having an AWS certification wouldn’t be enough, real world experience building with these services would help a lot.
Here's my interview experience at AWS - It was an interesting mix of project-based questions and leetcode questions. The leetcode questions were of type medium to hard level. Overall a good experience.
