He’s something else… it’s one thing to know your stuff, it’s another to impart. It takes a gift to that. Never thought I’d know networking like I do now. Adrian is super gifted!
thanks Frankie :)
Thank you very much for this concise overview of the cert paths! I'm just getting into cloud and had no idea about the various AWS routes! Thank you! Cheers!
Glad it was helpful!
The first 3 minutes of this video for me felt like a burden was lifted off me for skipping the cloud practitioner course and jumping in straight into solutions architect, I was conflicted for months on what path to choose and you nailed it by confirming that the SA course covers pretty much the cloud practitioner and goes into the practical hands on that is real world experience when you work with AWS technologies. Thank you for taking the time to make this video for people like me!
No problem at all ;)
@@LearnCantrill Hey, i don’t have any IT background (only google it professional cert), should i go for cloud practitioner or directly for solution architect? I work something else and want to do something new! Thnx
@@stefanangelov302 I thing at somepoint it's hard.. But U can go for it 🙂.. With consistency & guidance from someone professional u can easily develop the skills
Well explained. I think this video has to be the best of all that explains each certifications profoundly clearly. Big thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I cannot tell you how helpful this video was even from 3 minutes in. I already understand my path now. Thank you for being very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
The best explanation I can have. Thank you so much Adrian 😊
Glad it was helpful!
my relationship with IT has always been "love and hate" until I came across your platform. Amazing work and amazing teaching. the way you explain everything in detail reminds me of how brilliant cooking shows always make you hungry :D I will definitely get "all the things" bundle after the architect associate. thank you so much.
glad you're enjoying it :) and don't forget you can upgrade if you already own anything of mine (by paying the difference) - you just need to log a support ticket.
Thank you so much buddy I was struggling between AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Practice and Solutions Architect . But you have made it so easy I had even asked many colleagues, Linkedin People Friends, TH-cam Videos, and family but I was getting more confused. Now everything is clear. Really appreciated. 😀
Glad it helped!
Hi I'm from Brazil! Thanks for the video, that helped me a lot to understand the importance of studying for the AWS certifications in an effective way.
Glad you like it ;) check out my aws courses if you are studying.
Thank you so much for everything you do. Working through your SAA course right now. About 35% finished and I have to say I have learned SO much, not just about AWS but technical fundamentals as a whole. I have a CS degree + 2 years experience as a software developer, but I was missing so much of the networking fundamentals it was crazy. Everything is clicking now. Thank you!!!!!!
Glad it helps.
Awesome. I have your solutions architect course. Love the way you lay things out. Gonna take me some time to get throught it but its all stuff I need to learn and will benefit me. I have a few other courses but its something about yours that just seems like it will be a good fit coming from a network adming background.
He’s something else… it’s one thing to know your stuff, it’s another to impart. It takes a gift to that. Never thought I’d know networking like I do now. Adrian is super gifted!
let's do this !! :)
@@christembassy_albhello there! What networking course by Cantrill were you taking?
I was going to pay $100 to sit for my cloud practitioner exam. I’ll just put some of that money into your SAA-C02 course instead. Thank you for the words of wisdom!!
You can pay 100 dols in Cloud Practitioner, and after, pay 75 dols in Solutions Architect.
Total is 175 dols for 2 certifications...
I prefer pay more 25 dols to get 2 certifications
That's the same flawed logic though about buying something at a store just because it's on sale. If you wouldn't have bought it otherwise, you have wasted money, not saved it.
Doing the cloud practitioner JUST to have another cert is a waste of peoples time.
@@LearnCantrill I studied for the SAA and watched the CCP 4 hour training on the AWS website, and passed the CCP without doing overlapping, I definitely agree with not studying specifically for CCP then studying for SAA
@@ramonpaolomaran2253 lol
How do I go straight studying for the SAA as a beginner with no IT background? kindly help with materials if possible
This was incredibly helpful! Assuming this is still relevant, I'm shifting from the practitioner one to the solutions architect. Looking forward to start your course with lots of lab work!
Please make an updated version of this video.
Excelent explanation, thanks!!! Now it´s clear the path for me.
Glad it helped!
Very clear explanation. I was really wondering where to start. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video! Thanks so much for the clarity.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for this info, I started Practitioner this past Friday, but I'm moving unto Solutions Architect Associate. Thank you for saving me time!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Adrian for a wonderful explanation
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you! Great video, great overview and explanations. 🙏🏿👊🏿
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you! A lot of people on Reddit recommended your course so I bought the all things package. I'm excited to learn! =)
Hope you enjoy it!
Your teaching is different level, it can be understood easily
Thankyou.
I did the Cloud Pratictioner because it was part of my company schedule for us, now I'm studying for Developer Associate. I get that it's a very basic exam, but I do recommend people taking it if you don't have ANY prior knowledge on AWS, as subsequent exams get a 50% discount after the first one and it has 70% average pass rate (wich means people still fail even though it's the easiest one).
every AWS exam comes with the 50% off thing. The issue is that any of the associates generally include the topics the cloud practitioner covers, you end up with people duplicating their effort/wasting time. I'm not saying it doesn't any damage beyond that, but there is simply no point doing it in isolation. For a large amount of the time AWS certifications have existing the associates were the first ones available to do.
I find many people who are in favour of doing it, are either 1) selling a Course for it or 2) are people who have invested time in it, and are trying to justify the time.
@@adriancantrill913 Yeah, I get it, I did because my company paid for us so we could start getting our certs, so for me It was free and now I can enjoy the discount, not everyone has this opportunity.
Still, I would recommend it if you are not a developer and want to change profession.
@@smtek change of profession? I am a Java Dev with a CS degree n 6yrs of experience, more of a API developer now using Spring Boot, REST somewhat implementing Microservices, CI/CD, Kubernetes, Splunk, Spock etc. I am not a person who likes UI n then wants to become a Full Stack guy, nope. Im currently studying AWS for cert. exams and am relatively new to it. AWS fascinates me lately. Talking about change of profession, moving from Java to AWS is possible? any advice or words of wisdom? ✨🙂
@@aniketbharsakale2561 I think it's very possible. You can work towards being a cloud engineer or If DevOps appeals to you. You could go down that route as well.
Studying for overlapping exams can be useful to internalize the concepts if you are new to the whole cloud thing. Aside from that, totally agree
Overlapping can be good, but in this case it's pure duplication of work.
Yes. And, I'm neutral between you and the video. This situation is no different than skipping/taking Pre-Calculus before taking Calculus. It's possible to skip right into Calculus. But for some people, it makes sense to take Pre-Calculus first, especially if your Algebra skills are a bit weak.
Incredible video, Incredibly informative and express.
Glad it was helpful!
as soon as i'm done with the ACI learning classes I'll be grabbing "all the things" I really like that you have payment plans I can afford.
awesome :)
Steps were great, Thank You!
Thank you very much for comprehensive review
Glad it was helpful!
This is what I needed. Thank you
awesome :)
I wish I had watched this video before doing the practitioner learning plan in aws skill builder. It would have saved me a lot of time. Now I'm preparing for the SAA and I completely agree that starting with practitioner was a duplicate effort.
It's something a lot of people have done ... i wouldn't worry too much about it, focus on efficiency from now on.
@@LearnCantrill I thank God for coming across this educative video before taking the necessary step.
thanks bro. it helped me so much

Thank you for the information
No worries!
Highly useful information for beginners
Glad to hear that
Very helpful.. Thank you

Hey do you think I would need Linux experience for associate ? I took the cloud pract before watching this vid but I want to take the associate to just want to know if I can just jump right into it
if you're using my course you don't as I step through any linux stuff I use. For other courses your experience may vary.
Just found you today and think your training is great. I am torn right now. My current work is using Azure and I am trying to learn it. I plan to use your material for AWS once I complete Azure. Do you plan to offer Azure training? Do you know an Azure equivalent like yourself offering training you would use?
Study for the job you want. Not the one you have. Studying what your employer currently uses just helps them.
Thank you mate!
No worries!
Great advice. Thanks. I think I'm going to do solutions architect associate -> developer to at least land a cloud project at my consulting company, then maybe move up to professional once I get more experience
good luck - depending on what courses you use (mine vs others) you will gain project experience as you go. I include loads of AWS mini projects in my courses which mirror those you will do in the real world. That's why my students can easily hop into the pro level.
Thoughts on these classes for someone brand new to the technical side of things? Been a product owner/manager for about 5 years. Looking to jump into something more on the technical side.
I totally agree. I had studied for the Solutions Architect Associate but when I scored only around 70% in the practice exam, I spent another 6 hours on Cloud Practitioner and passed that exam straight away. Now I got my first job with AWS and continue via learning by doing. There are free resources on AWS skill builder that are absolute gold.
I'm not a super fan of the free AWS resources .. logically that's why i create stuff because I'm not a fan of much else :)
@@LearnCantrill Fair enough, I will give your SAA course a try. I was referring to some Udemy course that was a total waste of time.
Hey , would you mind sharing how long it took to get you a job with AWS ? And did you have any experience prior ?
@@Horizont. what Udemy course was it that you felt was a waste of time if you remember? I’m looking at getting into this field as well. Finished my AAS in Database Programming, but I’m finding it tough to land a job. Want to get into AWS certs and do that instead to push me ahead of some of the others for the job.
@@XLI41 The SAA-C03 one by Jon Bons
What prerequisites do I need to know before entering Cloud? Do I need background knowledge and company experience in Linux and Networking Essentials or can I go direct to Cloud? Thanks!
you don't really need anything, you will pick up a lot as you go. I normally suggest learning cloud first, and picking up linux and stuff like python along the way.
Hello there! What would be a good option for the end goal of security specialty? SA SAPro and Adv. Sec Spec?
that's generally the optimal path to get to sec spec yeah. It's far easier to do it after SA pro and that's far easier after SA Associate.
nice video, can i start with the Sysops admin instead of the solutions architect?
you sure can (at least if you're using my courses)
Thank you !!
You're welcome!
This is eye-opening material. A book I read with identical topics was a huge wake-up call. "AWS Unleashed: Mastering Amazon Web Services for Software Engineers" by Harrison Quill
should i study the technical fundamentals course before staring the SAA course?
Do I need to learn Linux first before jumping in to the associate certs? I've watched somewhere that Comptia Linux+ -> Comptia Cloud Essentials -> AWS Practitioner will be the good path.
you don't need linux first as you will naturally pick up some long the way. I also normally suggest skipping cloud practitioner and going direct to SA Associate.
what are the prerequisites to complete AWS Certified Security - Specialty
(SCS-C01)
generally you will have a much easier time if you have the Solutions Architect Associate certification (or rather the knowledge it should represent). If you have my SAA or SAPRO courses you will be fine.
If I start the Solutions Architect course, what programming language will I need to know or will that be presented in your course?
I would love to move to a developer role but currently have no AWS experience or certifications.
Awesome content! I have subscribed! :)
you don't really need to know any programming language as an SA. I use python a lot for demos and such, but you won't need to understand python as that's really not the focus.
Hello Adrian, thanks for your video. Which one of these certificates I should take if I want to be a cloud engineer? Thanks again
sysops is a good idea for a cloud engineer.
Great Vid!
Thanks.
3 years late, compared to the certifications showed in video, aws add: in Foundational, AI practitioner, in associate: data engineer associate and mle associate; aws remove : in specialty alexa skill data analytics and databse.
Thank you for the information, so an architect associate exam is a must to have to proceed so what if I wanted to go with solution architect associate > network specialty
solution architect associate > security specialty?
generally for the most optimal experience
SAA -> SAPRO -> Specialty.
There are exceptions, security specialty is by FAR the easiest specialty and can be done after SAA pretty easily.
Or, if you have pre-existing skills in the specialty area you might be able to do directly after SAA.
Hi Adrian, thanks for this useful video. It helps me a lot! I have one question as i'm interested in taking the all 5 bundle: could you provide an estimation of the time needed to complete each course if i can invest around 10h/week. Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer.
so the average is 6-8 weeks with 1-2 hours a day... that's per course. But the 2nd+ course you do with me has identified shared lessons so you can save 50%+ time on each course.
@@LearnCantrill thank you Adrian for your quick reply. Have a nice day!
Hey there! I am just starting Cloud Computing. I have a macbook so, do I really need linux to get started with cloud computing? Is macOS not enough?
Hi. macOS is fine .. I can only talk for my courses and my professional experience. I’ve used macOS for the entire time. You will connect to ec2 instances which run Linux but macOS is just what you run locally which is fine.
i have no experience with aws and i just want o pivot into cloud from photography... do you think i should take the SA associate cert first ?
the SA Associate is a good starting point ... expect a little frustration to start with. Work through it and you will be fine.
What an impressive individual... So well done !
thanks ! glad you like.
Very informative - I now plan on jumping right into the associate certification instead of studying for practitioner. Are you employable right after the Associate level Solutions Architect cert?
if you focus on learning everything ... it's a good position to be in yes. I have students who've obtained work based on the SAA and the mini projects they have done while using my courses.
What kind of jobs can you get with certain Aws certs? Will it help with computer science or software engineering jobs?
That's a pretty wide question. I general certs don't get you jobs, skills do. You will learn skills by studying for certs. I would suggest looking at some cloud roles and seeing what they require.
How this aws test treat anticheating? Is there any control over moving from tab to tab, for example?
You use a custom browser. Locked down.
I'm CCNA and working on Enterprise networks - would you recommend going for Architect Associate and then AWS Networking, or getting Professional, then networking?
Architect associate at least... generally i do recommend SA Pro.. then adv networking. Even for someone with your experience.
Hi I have no experience about cloud, or any knowledge abt it but I had studied fullstack may I ask is it OK if I jump straight forward to the developer asscociate
Question for you Adrian (I know you are not a career guidance counselor so I will try to keep it brief) -
I’m currently in a IT/Tech role working mainly in relational databases and am looking to to get my SAA cert soon (bought your course). My question is, having the skills upon passing the exam (and even passing the SAP down the line) won’t exactly land me AWS - focused jobs(obviously), it only give me knowledge of how things work and maybe get my foot in the door for interviews. How can I pivot to an AWS focused job with only these certs but no actual AWS job experience? Hope that made sense.
> My question is, having the skills upon passing the exam (and even passing the SAP down the line) won’t exactly land me AWS - focused jobs(obviously), it only give me knowledge of how things work and maybe get my foot in the door for interviews.
Why do you say that ? I have many students who obtain work in the space using the theory they learn, and the practical skills gained during mini projects.
I'm on board with you Adrian in going straight for the SAA. How long does it typically take to get ready for the exam? I'm planning to dedicate say 4 hours daily of study to it daily
6-8 weeks given 1-2 hours a day.
@@LearnCantrill hey Adrian, I'm about to make payment now for the $40 dollar SAA-CO3 course. Just wanted to ask for verification on secure payment is from your site? And how you answer questions from students taking your course?
Just finished the video on MFA. I understand why you say your course is sufficient even for people just studying for the cloud practitioner. I've never had it better explained and I've gone through quite a couple of sources. See you on StudyTechSlack
I would like to join your class
What if I have zero IT background but I want to learn how do I go about it ?? What are your recommendations
If using my courses, I would suggest the SA Associate ... for other course vendors, it might be different and you would need to ask them - it depends 100% on how much beginner content is in the course you're going to be using.
Do I need any network, python, linux knowledge to learn the cloud?
not to start with no. I include basics stuff you'll need in my fundamentals series (included in the courses). Long term, those skills will benefit you for sure - but don't let them stop you getting started.
thanks
You're welcome!
i have a question: would i have to complete the solutions architect pathway before taking a specialty course in ML? or would I be able to complete the DevOps pathway instead?
i can only really speak for my courses .. using mine you will be fine.
For someone with no IT or tech background who is interested in getting started with cloud computing and earning a Solutions Architect certificate, what would you recommend they learn first?
if using my content... the sa associate is good as it includes fundamentals. If using other courses.. maybe cloud practitioner first then saa. I encourage students to go direct to SAA and skip cloud practitioner which is why I've structured my courses the way i have.
I am a bit new to the cloud realm. Would you say SA is better or Developer associate ? I am on my way to get an SDE job after finishing by bootcamp.
i would generally always suggest SAA first. Architecture is the foundation of everything - so it will help you with everything else.
What if I just what to do devops role and not solutions architect, should I still do or start with the solutions architect associate?
you should do dev and sysops first, then DEVOPS pro.
Awesome stuff
glad you found it useful :)
This was a great video. Thanks for giving everyone a great roadmap to follow. Also, thank you for replying back to my email. I really appreciate all your advice. I am looking forward to starting your AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate (SAA-C03) course 💯💯💯💯💯💯
No problem !!
Hi
Great Video .
I have one doubt regarding the road map for AWS journey .
I am currently working as Java developer and complete beginner to Cloud , I am bit confused which one to choose between AWS Solution Architect Associate and AWS Developer Associate .
It would be great if you can help with this and highlight the key difference between these courses.
Thanks.
generally if you intend to do both .. i suggest SAA first then dev. if you are just intending to do 1, then you can pick either. At the associate level they are very similar with the dev just focusing a little more on dev services and tooling.
For someone with security+ and CySA+ but no experience whatsoever, is it possible to go directly to Security Specialty?
I would generally suggest doing SA Associate first. The specialties are a 50/50 split between general AWS and the specialty topic. Even with Sec skills.. you need to cover the basic AWS.
Can you complete the SAA and then the SAP right after without the 2 years suggested experience? Or do you have to complete SAA, DA, SOAA before going for Solutions Architect Professional?
It depends on the courses you use ...
With my courses I support this, so you can do SAA->SAPRO directly, this is possible because of the fact i put a LOT of practical mini projects in which help improve your real world skills.
Other course vendors generally encourage the SAA->DEVA->SYSOPSA->SAPRO route because they include less practical stuff.
@@LearnCantrill So, essentially you are required to take these certs in a specific order.
Required is a strong word ...there is an optimal path for every starting point to end point. If you just want SA Pro ... then SAA+SA PRO. If you want to go for the specialties then its SAA+SAPRO+specialties. If you just need DEVOPS .. maybe DEV+SYSOPS+DEVOPS. It really depends on what your objective is.. and what courses you use.
Hey Adrian if I buy the package of solution architect and professional can I be able to crack all the certs ccp including??
a bundle with SAA and SAP will let you pass CCP, SAA and SAP yeah. But not 'all' certs, since there are a lot of other AWS certs other than those 3.
I have worked in security for years, I hold many certs like CISSP-ISSAP and I want to specialised in AWS security, but I have worked little with Cloud Computing, just some IaaS architectures in Azure. Do you recommend to go directly to the AWS Security Specialty or I should go to the AWS Solutions Architect Associate first ?
you should 100% do the sa associate first. Without question. The AWS specialty certs are a 50/50 split between general AWS and the specialty topic. Even if you have expertise in that topic ..you have to handle the general AWS skills (via the SA Associate). Generally i suggest SA Pro as well, but the security specialty can be done without going THAT far.
Bravos, Great explanation of each exam’s value and characteristics.
Could I also ask for your wisdom for getting the AWS Certified Devops Professional? I have read your teachable website thoroughly, but still have some puzzles.
My background is using AWS and GCP professionally as a developer for 4 years, Devops operation for 2+ years, and I have taken certain Udemy online courses for AWS Architect associates for2 months in 2020 but have never sit for any certification exam.
In order to pass AWS Devops professional exam, What courses should I take and what other certifications exam should I consider beforehand? (Such as Architect associates, or synopsis associates, or etc)
Much appreciate your advice.
generally for the devops pro .. you should take at LEAST either .. dev or sysops associate, ideally both, then devops.
Hi Adrian, I'm GCP ACE certified and my company is asking me to get certified in AWS as well. I'm confused between solutions architect associate and developer associate. Is developer associate a better choice for me as I want to be in a DevOps role?
I would go for developer associate. Sysops associate. The. Devops pro. It depends on which courses you use. Most assume sa associate first. But I support any order of associates.
@@LearnCantrill Thank you so much for clearing it up for me🙏🏻 I will enrol in your course and start from Monday. Thanks.
To experience devs/ team managers, I am a new grad and am having difficulty getting a job, would an associate cert give me a leg over an another candidate who has no cert but an internship? tia.
if you use a course which teaches real skills.. then the skills you learn while studying for it will give you an advantage over those who don't have these skills.
I have taken 6 Cloud Practitioner Practice exams and going over corrections. I haven't even set up the CP exam just yet. Do you recommend I Re-direct my mind to Solutions Architect?
for most people i suggest studying for SAA as a starting point ... then you can sit CCP and SAA exams at the end if you want both, or just SAA.
Question: I'm currently an AR tech at a facility who wants to get into the implementation of robotic solutions with AWS as the backbone. Are there any specialties you recommend and also any jobs on the AWS side of things that would see benefit in the robotics experience? Say a solutions architect for robots?
generally the most valuable .. SAA, SA PRO, then Networking Spec, ML Spec, Security Spec.
@@LearnCantrill awesome, thank you.
Great vid
Thanks ;)
Thanks for your video. What do I need to know before I jump in AWS certification? I have zero knowledge in tech just html and css basics? Thanks 😊
i would generally suggest just starting with the solutions architect associate and going through my free technical fundamentals course at the same time (it's free to enroll on my learn.cantrill.io site)
@@LearnCantrill
Thanks for your reply. Should I learn Linux and networking in parallel with your free course ?
Hello Adrian, thank for you the very informative video.
I have been studying for my comptia A+ certification exam for the past few weeks. I have little to none IT experience, do you think i should just forego taking the comptia exams and instead take your associate solutions architect course?
I have a longterm goal to transition to cloud. Cloud engineering is what i want to get into.
I would appreciate some guidance, thank you.
Hi. So I'm not a huge fan of COMPTIA stuff, or any of the net+ sec+ etc. I prefer being focused in what I study. Ideally you want to have a plan, start with what role you want in 1,2,3,5 years. Identify the skills needed. Do a gap analysis between where you are now, and those skill requirements. Build your study plan around that.
That of course takes time, but it's worth it. That being said, at a high level, i would 100% do solutions architect associate as one of my first IT certifications - especially do if you intend to use my content (since i cover a lot of IT fundamental topics)
@@LearnCantrill Interesting. So i would actually be better off taking your courses then to break into cloud. I have my sights set on being support engineer at the moment. Is there anyway i can contact you personally DM for more information regarding your courses and mentoring?
alexa skill builder is no longer available. am I right?
Correct.
if I don't have experience with AWS is it still a good choice to take the Solutions Architecture certification ?
if using my course yep as I include beginners stuff... other courses will vary as will your experience.
should i go for solution artitect or developer certification?
generally i suggest Solutions architect as the first associate for people. For my students though, any order works.
Im working on SysOps Administration currently and wanted to ask the community if they had any practice website and any tips
what kind of practice are you looking for?
@@LearnCantrill I’m currently using on Cloud9 and I’m trying to find a website that shows you how to do a script/code/ then has multiple different versions of the of the shown task unanswered that I would need to solve, I’m also looking for practice for containers packages in AWS
I have zero IT knowledge. What would i need to learn first, before starting the associate certification?
Hi, you don't really need to learn anything before hand, just go ahead and get started.
@@adriancantrill913 I will do that. Thank you for your reply Adrian.
If I already took the practitioner certification, should I go directly to professional or take the associate?
associate ... never jump to professional from CCP.
What associate and professional cert will go good with a networking background and end goal advanced networking? I was thinking solutions architect sysops the architect pro then advanced networking. Love the channel man thank you for the videos !
that's a good plan .. SAA, SYSOPS, SAP , then adv networking.
@@adriancantrill913 thank you man ! Heard great things about your course I’ll probably use them for each one along with other tools !
The answer I couldn't find: Take the Architect exam first because it will be the basis of all of the the other exams (essentially).
First - Cloud Practitioner
Second - Solutions Architect
and any certifications aws that your prefer
I will take Cloud Practitioner day 10/03/2022, and after, Solutions Architect in 15/04/2022, AWS Developer in 25/05/2022 and AWS Solutions Architect Professional in 15/07/2022
i'm a big fan of skipping cloud prac :)
glad it helped.
Hey how long do you think it would take to complete the associate and professional certifications? I am a complete beginner.
6-8 weeks given 1-2 hours a day.. each.
@@LearnCantrill So about 30-40 weeks total. I am just getting started and was curious on a general timeframe. I am a total beginner to all this so hopefully it isn't too difficult to learn.
I want to buy AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate (SAA-C03) course , any offer on that course ??
nope, I don't really do discounts.
Is there any reason to not start at SysOps?
many courses assume SA Associate first. I'm one of the few who allow starting with any associate. That being said, i do think there is value in learning architecture before learning how to DO things in AWS.
Should Front end developers bother with Solutions Architect? Or is this role more suited for Full Stack and/or Backend?
i think developers can benefit from SA Associate for sure - architecture knowledge is never a bad thing.
How or where to get practical knowledge of aws?
You need a course which has mini projects in it.
AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate (SAA-C03) and AWS Certified Developer - Associate
seems like AWS Certified Developer - Associate contains all the info that AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate has
so is it better to buy AWS Certified Developer - Associate
you should buy content for what you're wanting to study.
