Hey Thiru,
Really glad you cleared the exam.. Im going to give it a try as well in Jan 2017.. Just wanted to know from a study point of view, did any past coding experience help with this certification? I mean is it an absolute necessity for one to know programming inside out to clear the exam or are concepts good enough? I come from a strong infra background and know basics of Java and PHP..
No past coding experience required, but you have to know the concept of microserive design architecture and 12 factors of cloud native application.
