saa-c03-exam Exam Domains & Topics
Understand the domains and stop losing points on scenario tradeoffs.
Quick answers
- Secure: IAM + encryption + least privilege.
- Resilient: HA/DR basics, fault tolerance.
- High-performing: caching, scaling, right service choice.
- Cost-optimized: storage tiers and pricing tradeoffs.
This page breaks down what SAA-C03 is really testing: scenario tradeoffs across security, resilience, performance, and cost.
Use the mini test to see which domain you’re currently weakest at, then focus your practice to stop leaking points.
In PrepMaster you can practice offline with explanations and repeat until the weak domains become automatic.

How domains map to real questions
The exam is scenario-driven. Your score often depends on choosing the best architecture under constraints (cost vs performance vs reliability vs security).
- Design secure architectures: IAM, encryption, least privilege.
- Design resilient architectures: HA, DR, fault tolerance.
- Design high-performing architectures: caching, scaling, right service choice.
- Design cost-optimized architectures: storage classes, pricing tradeoffs.
Topics & Skills Covered
- Secure architectures (IAM, encryption, access patterns)
- Resilient architectures (HA, DR basics, durability)
- High-performing architectures (caching, scaling, service choice)
- Cost-optimized architectures (pricing tradeoffs, storage tiers)
