Depending on the industry you are in, it could be an attractive credential. As a hiring manager it’s not what I use to determine proficiency or possibility of success, but lots of our contracts require them.

If you are using it to learn it’s not a bad tool to learn unless you have some pet projects you want to try out on the platform of your choice.

I’ve been working with AWS for the last 6 years and have been certified for the last 5. I learned new things through certification, but my practical experience tells me where the sharp edges are.
