A quiz 'AWS Icon Quiz' that guesses which AWS service is by just the icon has appeared, and although skilled experts try it, there are many dead bodies

Amazon Web Services (AWS), a cloud service developed by Amazon, has

more than 200 services , and it is difficult to understand all of them. A quiz has been released to help you guess what kind of icon each AWS service is.

Let's try the quiz right away. Click 'TAKE THE QUIZ'.

The first question is to answer the service name from the icon. Suddenly, an icon that I didn't recognize at all appeared.

Thankfully, you have options. I assumed that 'If I don't recognize it, it must be a service I don't use regularly...!', so I selected SWF and clicked 'Submit'.

The selected option will then be highlighted in red. It seems that I chose the wrong option. Relax and click 'Next Question' to move on to the next question.

The same problem continues for a while after the second question. Of course, I don't recognize any of the icons...

Question 6 was ``What do IAM icons look like?'' and was a question that reminded people of icons from services.

There is also the incredibly difficult problem of selecting all icons of services that do not have 'Code' in the service name.

The Route 53 icon question had confusing choices. It's supposed to be a service that I often use, but I don't recognize any of the options at all...

Once you manage to answer 20 questions, the number of correct answers will be displayed. This time, I just happened to get one question correct, and it turned out that I had no knowledge of AWS icons at all.

'AWS Icon Quiz' has also become a hot topic on ' Hacker News ,' a news site where engineers gather, and many experts have commented on the challenge results.

Comments such as ' I've been using AWS for 11 years and I got 3 points ' and ' I've been using AWS since 2009 and I haven't gotten a single question right ' were posted, and even experts who have been using AWS for many years seem to have difficulty answering them. It was.
