Before you panic - the exams have not been changed - just the guides!
As of early September 2021, all the AWS Certification Exam Guides (pdf) seem to have been updated to a new template and include a lot more useful information. Scroll below for high level changes and links to these guides.
Key changes
Lets review the very popular AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate
(SAA-C02) to pickup on two new sections of importance.
"Out of scope" section
Yay - this sets the tone for where you draw the line on studying and is useful to avoid "over studying" or panicking that you need to know coding when the course does not test you on that.
In-scope Services listed
There is also a comprehensive list of what is considered within scope - previously these were just fairly high level domains but this is a lot more comprehensive list of services you are required to know! (Its not exhaustive but is more than enough to ensure sufficient coverage when studying).
Links to the Exam Guides!
Here is a handy list of all the 11 Certification Exam Guides.
