Interview prompts

Is there an Amazon Connect certification?

Not a specialty exam on the AWS Certification catalog. Connect recognition is a Skill Builder badge at 80 percent. Say which badge, and do not call it certified.

Why did the softphone fail when the agent was signed in?

Signaling can succeed on TCP 443 while media fails on UDP 3478 to TurnNlb.

What replaced Contact Lens and Amazon Q in Connect in 2026?

On 4 August 2026 the admin guide renamed them conversational analytics and agent assist. IAM for assist still shows the wisdom prefix.

How do you migrate a CUCM SIP trunk?

You do not register Connect as a phone. The public number hits a flow. A transfer back to CUCM is Transfer to phone number, and attributes do not ride the PSTN.

What is the honest multi-Region design?

Global Resiliency in a published pair, shifted 10 percent at a time. A second instance you built by hand is not that pattern.

Voice ID in a design written this year?

Support ended 20 May 2026. Remove the blocks. Use a partner or a one-time password.
