Which AWS cert to go for? Registering for a training for either developer or solutions architect. I work side by side with developers in my current role but am leaning solutions architect. Don’t really know anything about cloud so thinking I just want a learning experience that doesn’t overlap with what I do now. Only hesitation is if I don’t like it, what was the point? Thoughts?

Would go with the Architect associate first and then go from there. I have all of three associate certs and went in this order: Architect -> Developer -> SysOps -> Architect Pro is what I’m studying for now

If you are brand new to cloud, solutions architect will give you a great broad view of all of the different services available.

If you don’t really know anything about cloud, AWS practitioner is great to start. Gives you overview of various AWS services, you can figure out if you enjoy it and then go for the solutions architect one

What’s the process to get certified?

I was nominated for Cloud Institute (I think just by virtue of being GPS CCG CBO, no idea really). But I’ve heard this 10 week program doesn’t actually prep you for the exam so basically the process is study for a month after the program and pay to take a test like M1 said

Like everyone else says. Solutions architect for broad view. You’re already working with developers so I don’t think you’re so green that you should do practitioner.

Would you ever accept a ground-floor bedroom facing the street (but set back from the pavement) in London? Residential, upscale zone 2 neighbourhood (think Victoria Park Village, East Dulwich, Fulham), but like everywhere in London, there are some rougher bits nearby. I sleep with the window open for fresh air, so I’m concerned about burglary and assault (I’m a woman). There’s the option of using an internal bedroom instead, but it’s not nearly as nice as the street-facing one.
