Aws offers Foundational Credentials, an introductory class of certifications. We’ll concentrate on the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner credential for now. Even if you haven’t yet made up your mind on the direction you want to go in your career, the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner test is really helpful. Even if you don’t work in a typically tech-related profession, being able to demonstrate your understanding of the cloud might be useful given the rising popularity of cloud computing and Amazon’s continuous domination of the cloud industry

AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification verifies a person’s broad understanding of the AWS Cloud on a fundamental level. In plain English, this implies that it shows prospective employers that you are familiar of the “gist” of what AWS is and accomplishes.
