Im planning on getting some certs for the above platforms. I'm pretty new at these and probably will start with AWS and will focus on the AWS developer track (starting with cloud practioner). Eventually likely Azure or GCP (I really like K8s and I heard GCP is much better at it).
I found some reddit sites that have a pretty good suggested track but just wanted to get some input from the incredible SWEs here. Obviously I'll be practicing a bunch in labs and stuff but with regards to exam and other suggestions with the certs any or resources, or the exam itself?
Are the udacity, pluralsight any good?

  • Do these certs actually help to crack interviews ?

      With system design questions it certainly helped me. And the major benefit is 1. Getting wayyyyy more attention from recruiters and hiring managers 2. It will have an effect on your compensation provided you proved you actually worked with the platform

    100% on using aCloudGuru. Other than online tests from udemy, they were my sole study guides. I have SAA and DA. Honestly, I think you should skip Cloud Practitioner and just move on to the Solutions Architect Associate cert. I skipped to it and had no issues. Saves money to boot

    I have 3 of the AWS certs now (previous work payed for them yay). I found the most useful resources were aCloudGuru video course and Whizlabs for practice exams. Between those two they covered all the content I needed. If you're a more hands on learner, Linux academy can be good (I think cloudguru and linuxacademy have merged now though!)
