Introduction
We all know that the cloud is the future of IT and has shown
the most flamboyant technical growth in the realm. The
prominent use of cloud computing in varied industries has
increased the demand for professionals who are skilled in cloud
technology. One of the easiest ways to prove one’s competence
is having a badge in the domain. Since AWS has been the
industry leader in the cloud world since its establishment,
there is no reason to doubt the reputation of AWS
certifications.

AWS certifications are quite popular and are widely regarded as a starting
point or entry point into the cloud industry.
Before you get started, you should know one nice and vital thing: “why” is the
most crucial question that really matters. What motivates you to get AWS
certifications? Are you interested in learning more? Are you working on a
project that makes you feel like you are in over your head? Has your manager
told you that you need to get certified? Perhaps you expect that obtaining a
certification will help you land that interview and your next brilliant job.
So, in this article, we will discuss AWS certifications and how they can help
you advance in your profession. This article has the potential to alter your life
since the most crucial decision you will take at the start of your career is the
path to choose. Keep reading!
There are four different types of AWS certificates:
1. Foundational: The most basic level is foundational, but it is just the entry-
level cloud practitioner certification, and this is a non-technical credential that
concentrates on the essentials.

AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner
The foundation level certification, known as AWS Certified Cloud
Practitioner, is widely recommended by the entire community and AWS as
well. This certification now encompasses a greater comprehension of AWS
and what it provides. This certification may not provide you with much
hands-on experience, but it will give you the expertise of a salesperson. So
you can figure out what services are offered and why or how they’re being
used.
You can skip the foundation level; it is not required to complete it first, and
the certificate does not list it in any particular order, but it will provide you
with fundamental knowledge.
Job opportunities:
 Cloud Practitioner
 Cloud Support Engineer
 AWS Support Engineer

Hiring companies: Amazon, Apple
Average salary: $87,677
2. Associate: The AWS certifications targets Solutions Architects, Developers, and
SysOps Administrators at the associate level. The associate-level certificates cover
a wide range of topics but do not go into great detail, and this implies that you
must be knowledgeable about a wide range of topics.

AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate
The AWS Certified Solutions Architect–Associate credential verifies your
knowledge of AWS cloud-based solution design, planning, and
implementation. It gives you the expertise you need to create a solution to
a complicated problem utilizing architectural design concepts based on
customer needs, AWS solutions, and project management best practices. It
is an Amazon certification that is offered at a mid-level. This credential is
typically pursued after getting essential AWS hands-on experience or
earning the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification.
An AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate recognizes a company’s IT
concerns and addresses them with the most cost-effective, fault-tolerant,
and scalable solutions available.

Job opportunities:
 Cloud Solutions Architect
 Cloud Engineer
 Cloud Developer
 Cloud Operations Engineer

HCL Technologies, Infosys, Wipro

 Cloud Engineer: $1,00,000
 Cloud Developer: $1,10,832
 Cloud Operations Engineer: $1,04,202
 AWS Engineer: $1,04,876

AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate
The AWS Certified SysOps Administrator–Associate certification is for System
Administrators who work in cloud operations. SysOps is the area of cloud computing
that oversees operations and systems-related activities. Deploying, maintaining, and
operating scalable, highly available, and fault-tolerant systems on AWS are among the
knowledge and abilities validated by this certification. It is recommended to have
hands-on working experience in AWS Cloud Administration prior to SysOps
Administrator-Associate certification. It is among the highest-paying AWS
certifications.

AWS Certified Developer – Associate
AWS Certified Developer Associate certification focuses on learning how
AWS services work at a lower level. It focuses on ensuring that you can use
and connect services in AWS while adhering to their best practices. An AWS
Cloud Developer is a professional who develops AWS-powered applications
and services.
Job opportunities:
•AWS Developer
Hiring companies: Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Accenture, Tata Consultancy
Services, HCL Technologies, Infosys, Wipro
Average salary: $1,02,447
Now, suppose you want to advance to the architecture level. In that case,
these associate-level exams will focus more on designing a robust system
that is durable and highly available, so you will be focusing more on the
infrastructure and creating that. If you wish to study for the developer exam,
this will assist you in learning more about how a developer works and what a
developer should know.

3. Professional: The scope is considerably more significant at the professional
level, but the primary difference is how much deeper they go. You must be well-
versed in a wide range of topics.

a specific set of AWS features for each of these. Security, data analytics, machine
learning, databases, and advanced networking are all covered by these certifications.

security and application security in AWS. Because this AWS Security Certification has a
