Description

Currently an Integration Engineer at a service-based company, planning to switch to Cloud/DevOps roles — is AWS SAA-C03 the right first step? Hey everyone, I'm currently working as an Integration Engineer at a service-based company, but my long-term goal is to move into pure Cloud or DevOps roles. The problem is I have very minimal hands-on cloud experience in my current project. I do have some exposure to GCP and understand cloud basics (compute, storage, networking concepts etc.), but nothing production-level. I'm considering starting with the AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) certification as my entry point into cloud. A few questions for people who've been through this: How difficult is SAA-C03 for someone with basic cloud knowledge but no real AWS hands-on? Is this cert actually valuable for switching from an integration background to Cloud/DevOps roles, or is it just a checkbox that doesn't move the needle without real project experience? What's the current market demand like for SAA-C03 holders, especially for people trying to break into DevOps? Any resource recommendations (courses, practice exams, hands-on labs) that helped you actually clear the exam and build real skills alongside it? Would really appreciate insights from people who've made a similar transition or are currently on this path. Trying to plan this out properly before diving in. Thanks in advance! [link] [handle]
