If you want to understand AWS, you need to learn how AWS fails. If you understand how it fails, you can design things to work around failure. As AWS themselves say, everything fails, all the time :) Something i cover extensively in my https://learn.cantrill.io courses .. is failure & resilience :)

If you're an architect you have to design resilient solutions, as a developer you will be creating applications which should cope well with failure and in operations you have to diagnose, prevent and repair any failed systems. For all of the above .. your level of understand has to be top notch :)

Some services are resilient in their zone, some are resilient in their region (able to cope with failure of an entire AZ) and some services can cope with the failure of an entire region and still continue to operate.

If you want to get a job working with AWS you need to know significantly more than what's required to pass the exam. You can pass exams by knowing just 20-30% of whats required to really function in a given role ... that's why longer courses are generally more in-depth and give you more value back (jobs, promotions, projects). The more you know, the easier job hunting becomes :)
