As a recent grad in Computer Science I recently ggot a job as a Deployment Enginneer.
My end game is to be a DevOps engineer. I am interested in cloud computing and would like to learn more with AWS.
That being said would getting an AWS certificate be worth it? If so which Associate ones would align with my goals. If not is there any other certificates (non AWS) but DevOps or cloud related that would be recommended?
Definitely worth it to have AWS certs! You should ask your job if they'd cover the costs, most places worth staying at will happily pay for extended learning. I just picked up this humble bundle of DevOps books because it's a wide range of topics for really cheap - https://www.humblebundle.com/books/devops-2023-oreilly-books?hmb_source=humble_home&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_3_layout_index_2_layout_type_threes_tile_index_1_c_devops2023oreilly_bookbundle
