Hi@shreya,

If you are a begginer in AWS, then you should go for AWS CSA certification. Recently AWS changes their syllabus because of the current pandemic. They arranged their topics depending on the current industry requirement as well as for future.

Answer 3

Hello @ shreya ,

Well since you are a developer, I would suggest the AWS Certified Developer certification. Learning the skills for that certification will allows you to bridge the gap between your programing skills and integrating what you are developing with AWS services.

To give you a better breakdown of the three associate level certification, here is a summary:

Solutions Architect:

• Designing and deploying scalable, highly available, and fault tolerant systems on AWS

SysOps Admin:

• Deploying, managing, and operating scalable, highly available, and fault tolerant systems on AWS

Certified Developer:

• Picking the right AWS services for the application
• Leveraging AWS SDKs to interact with AWS services from your application

I hope this helps!
