HackerRank Projects enables you to assess candidates' AWS skills in a real-world environment using the AWS console, providing an accurate measure of their ability to handle cloud-based tasks. Candidates are given a temporary AWS account and are scored based on their work in the AWS console.
Creating a Cloud Assessment
Steps:
- You can create certified assessments or role-specific tests to asses Cloud skills.
-
You can also add individual Cloud questions to your tests:
- Click on Library from the home page
- Navigate to the left pane and click on Type
- Select Cloud from the available options
- Select a cloud question and click Add to Test.
Candidate Experience:
For each AWS Cloud question, the candidate will receive a unique AWS account to use during the test. When moving to the next question, candidates need to ensure they log out of the previous AWS account and log in to the new account provided for that specific question.
Results:
The candidate's work in the console is automatically scored, and the results are reflected in the candidate report.
Limitations:
- The tab proctoring feature and functionality to add time to a candidate’s test are not supported when an AWS question is present in the test.
- You can use the hands-on cloud questions available in the HackerRank Library while creating tests as the ability to create custom AWS questions is not available at this point.
