Tableau Architecture Design in Salesforce: Analytics-Arch-201 Exam-Focused Guide

So I have been preparing for Analytics-Arch-201 for the past few weeks, and honestly, it has been a humbling experience.

Since I already use Tableau at work daily, this exam would not be that hard. I was wrong. The moment I looked at the exam topics, node roles, process topologies, high availability, and disaster recovery, I realized my day-to-day Tableau usage and actual architecture design are two completely different things.

The biggest struggle for me was scenario-based questions. I could understand a concept, but when the exam question twisted it into a real-world situation, I would second-guess everything.

Started practicing with ITExamsTopics, and that helped a lot. The questions there actually make you think through the logic rather than pick an answer.

Still finding multi-site configuration and security architecture a bit tricky.

Anyone who has already passed, how did you approach these two topics? Would love some direction!
