Thank you for the realistic assessment of what Cloud Practitioner can get- essentially, getting your feet wet in the knowledge of how an AWS instance works and what the architecture is plus economic models of cloud. Appreciate it!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks brother. That pdf you shared is very helpful. How long do you think, if we’re being realistic, it would take me to upskill, get certified, get a good job. eg, Solution Architect. I’m coming from an SAP background, I worked there for 3 years.

Glad you enjoyed the video! The timeline varies. I would look at some job descriptions of roles that interest you. Look at those requirements, assess your skill gaps, and then build a plan to strengthen those gaps.

Thank you for this video and your viewpoint. I am enrolled in AWS Cloud Institute and they are telling us after 1 year we will graduate with both certs and have the experience and knowledge to land a devops role even if you are brand new to tech. Do you disagree with what AWS is sayin? I will say the program is very intensive and extensive.

AWS Cloud Institute is way more comprehensive than just AWS Cloud Practitioner alone. I think you have made an excellent choice enrolling in AWS Cloud Institute. Best of luck!

Good video, but aws website is poorly made, I mean they say you should have 2 years experience to do the solutions architect cert, but thats 2nd on the list say for data engineer role, so what's someone meant to do for 2 years with just a practioner cert? wait? All the certs are easy to pass, main thing is get the cert make a decent project and start applying
