Advanced networking knowledge (advanced routing algorithms, failover techniques), giving deep-level security recommendations to developers, designing/querying/optimizing databases, and developing full-stack application code are explicitly listed as out of scope for the target candidate. Unlike several other current AWS exam guides, AWS's own DOP-C02 exam guide does not publish a dated version number or revision history -- this validation is against the live, undated current guide.
