AWS engineer certification
AWS is the collective name for the world's fastest growing cloud services. As the main factor of every business is talent, there is a need for an engineer in this field as well. Let's take a look at what certifications we need to have to become an engineer. AWS training and certification help validate an engineer's skills in cloud technology. AWS certification helps companies (of all sectors) develop professionals to help them make innovative decisions and digital transformation happen faster and faster using AWS. Let's look carefully at picture 1. What are the stages of certificates. It is basically a stage consisting of 3 stages. Engineers studying Cisco will easily look at this picture and remember CCNA- CCNP- CCIE stages. Almost all vendors have the same certification principles.
Foundational ( initial stage)- There is a certificate for this stage — AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner. If you don't have basic knowledge, I recommend you to read this certificate. When reading the certificate, you will learn terminology such as Network (ip, DNS, routing, subnetting, tcp, udp, etc.), Storage, Database, Roles (user rights, groups, and polices). In addition, you will learn what AWS Cloud infrastructure is, architectural principles, key services and common use cases on the AWS platform (such as operational and analytics), the security model on the platform, and the pricing policy model. The certificate will give you the first foundation to become an infrastructure engineer. The AWS platform is an integral part of the foundation for the Certificate Associate and Specialty levels. After this knowledge, it would be the best step for you to learn Linux.
Associate — At this stage, the engineer must decide which direction to go. Because, as a result, for the Professional level, either a DevOPS or a Solution Architect should be an engineer. You can ask whether it can be both or not depends on your time and the nature of the job you will choose.
AWS Certified Solutions Architect — designed for people who work as solutions architects and have at least one year of hands-on experience designing accessible, cost-effective, risk-based, and scalable systems on AWS. The purpose of this certificate; Being able to define a solution using architectural design principles according to the client's requirements. Ability to build infrastructure on the AWS platform and migrate existing systems of companies.
AWS Certified SysOps Administrator Purpose of this certification; Responsible for managing and deploying new versions of an application or operating system built on AWS.
AWS Certified Developer — Associate The purpose of this certification; is for those who work in a software developer role and have at least one year of hands-on experience developing and maintaining an AWS-based application.
What should I do to prepare for the exam?
- It's also helpful to look at AWS's reference architecture to learn how different services are used together.
- Be sure to watch the video tutorials. Udmey has quite a lot of videos. If you are going to take some video lessons from Udemy, I strongly recommend you to use the acloud.guru link, it is one of the best in the field.
- Use the free AWS console. 1 year is free. Lips are a must. Let your hand be warm.
- You don't need to look for a lot of material. This link is enough for you. I do not recommend reading the AWS Certified Solution-Arc Administrator Official Study Guide Associate Exam book. AWS has brought many innovations, and the book has not been updated yet.
