Just jumping on in terms of the "architecture" certifications. I'm currently doing the Azure architecture certification (And have the course materials for the AWS ones too). They are REALLY light on implementation. It's literally like reading a feature list of every single thing the cloud provider offers. It's for when a question comes up like "Hmm. How can we we send a message that allows a yet to be decided amount of subscribers to act on that message? I know! Azure Service Bus!". It's not that expensive to get the certifications so I usually say go for it. But it can be really dry and not as "real worldy" as you might expect. |

So far it's very high level and "let's build a wordpress site in multiple AZs with an RDS instance and an ELB"
not "Ok - we have a site that gets millions of hits a day; currently uses 1 LB, 1 NFS shared file server and 3 web servers, and 1 dedicated DB server. Let's rip everything apart and move it to AWS with as close to 0 downtime as possible"
I just didn't want to go into this almost completely blind. The price of the exam is "negligible" (not to call $150 / exam insignificant - to some, I'm sure it's a lot) so... why not. I'll have a good base to start with when I finish and at least can speak to it where before, maybe I was speculating.
