AWS Certification? Anonymous 2016-10-20 22:56:37 Post No. 57165725 [Report]

I'm applying for jobs around Seattle and most every position has "MAJOR PLUS - AWS EXPERIENCE." To date I don't have any. The firms I've worked for either had an in-house solution or believed in local servers only.

What's a reputable course or certification to GET GOOD in AWS? I'm in QA, so maybe closer to DevOps than a web developer's AWS needs.

Anything under $600/month for a course or certification isn't an issue.

Polite bump. I figured /g/ was a better place to ask than Reddit.

Why not just sign up for an AWS account, and dick around a little with the AWS CLI and API?

Have you even looked? AWS offers its own certificates and provides information about them. Sign up for AWS and dick around with them, review the certificate material offered by Amazon and then branch out if you feel unsure or uncertain of your ability to pass their exams.

I thought about that, but I've interviewed with Amazon in the past. If I have AWS on my CV, they'll ask at least as many battery questions as the Associate-level certification test.

Have you seen successful candidates who just dickered around?

>>57166086
Yes, and I'm glad they provide it. I wanted to study third-party before the official certification. I've applied to Amazon and I'd rather not have more than one attempt at the test on my record.

> Amazon pay is poop
I keep hearing that, but they're in the middle of a MAJOR hiring push. I'd hoped to get in while they're still desperate to build up teams. Nothing yet.

Dicking around with AWS yourself is a MAJOR cry from being GOOD at it. I can do some AWS shit pretty decently myself, but I have colleagues who do things that blow my mind because they're been working with it inside the industry
