Is the AWS cloud practitioner cert meaningful to get or is it just another basic cert that’s useless?

People who know distributed computing as an engineer or a scientist see through the marketing BS. Always be cloud vendor agnostic. Certifications are just a way to make you a loyal customer

Yeah, have my VCP and CCNA, and barely used it for work ever, just need to find something to fulfill my training requirement at this point

As a non tech person, it was useful going through the training to understand the basics of AWS products and all the non-sense product names they’ve come up with. Will I take more certs? Prob not

Good practice to prep for a harder cert like Developer or Architect. It used to be a prerequisite but they loosened that requirement.
