Comment on Ask HN: Are AWS Certs worth getting for experienced Devs?

Comments

AWS Certifications do help to a certain extent to convey your knowledge of the AWS ecosystem to consultancies and their clients. I don't have a certification but almost all of the consultancies I've worked with advocate for it just to give the client more confidence. Mind you these are the larger consultancies with larger clients so they tend to like these certifications as a signal. Have you ever had a chance to work with the various components in the ecosystem already?

yep, i had to use the usual s3 + ec2/ecs + cloudwatch + various databases/message queues for quite a few different startups i was part of. learned all of it on the job.

i guess my question is more along the lines of "if I have these certs on my resume, is it going to pass through a lot more filters nowadays"
