AWS Professional Career Paths

Posted by FarhanaOranet on December 13th, 2018

 AWS Professional Career Paths:

Amazon Web Services, or AWS, is a subsidiary of Amazon. AWS offers several services for cloud-based compute, storage and networking, with the two most prominent being Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). The company also provides database and analytics services, applications, developer tools and much more.

AWS is by far the dominant player in the on-demand cloud computing market space. Comcast, Dow Jones, Expedia, Kellogg's and Netflix are just a few companies that rely on AWS to make their businesses hum. With the public cloud market expected to reach 6 billion by 2020, AWS is positioned to retain a significant lead over its closest competitors – namely, Google, Microsoft and IBM.

AWS currently offers following certification:

  1. AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate
  2. AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional
  3. AWS Certified Developer – Associate
  4. AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional
  5. AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate
  6. AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Professional

 

AWS Architecting Certifications:

The Architecting category has two certifications: AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate and AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional. Both certifications focus on skills needed to design distributed applications and systems on the AWS platform.

 

AWS Developing Certifications:

The AWS Developing category includes the AWS Certified Developer – Associate and AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional certifications, which aim at professionals who develop applications that run on the AWS platform and maintain them.

AWS Operations Certifications:

The AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate is all about deploying and managing operations on the AWS platform throughout a project's lifecycle. Candidates must understand the processes in and around supporting scalability, high availability and fault tolerance for those systems, including data flow, and migration of on-premises applications to AWS. This certification also covers best practices and operational costs.

AWS Foundational and Specialty Certifications:

AWS currently offers a single foundation-level credential, the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner.

Because AWS certifications are vendor-specific, credential holders should expect to find employment with AWS, a company that uses the AWS platform or as a consultant to those companies. And job roles align closely with the certifications, which means employers offer positions such as architect, developer system operator and engineer, as well as IT specialist and evangelist. With the AWS light expected to shine brightly for years to come, a career that focuses on AWS tools and technologies looks both highly stable and extremely promising.
