If you clicked on the link for this article, you are most likely thinking about taking the AWS Cloud Developer Certification exam. If you are not thinking about it, it’s time you thought about it!

I just recently passed my AWS Cloud Developer Certification, and honestly, it wasn’t too bad. With the proper preparation and study tools, you will have no problem getting that certification.

Before starting preparation for this exam, I had very little exposure to AWS. Six weeks later, I’m certified.

I went through tons and tons of resources in preparation for this exam, and it’s only fair that I tell you which ones work and which ones don’t.

Some resources will be free and others will cost you. I’m usually a huge advocate of free resources, but in this space, you pay for what you get. Every penny was worth it. Without paid resources, this certification would have taken months to obtain.

You are lucky you found this article because it’s about to change your life!

Why Should You Get Certified

I saw this as an incredible opportunity to learn, and it proved to be precisely that. In these six weeks, I was able to gain a holistic understanding of just about everything there is to know about being a developer in the IT world.

Everything is touched on spanning infrastructure, architecture, development, deployment, monitoring, serverless computing, security, best practices, etc. The list goes on and on regarding what you can get out of this certification.
