Have any other cloud certs? If not, start with AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner. It’s definitely entry level. When you’re ready for the next level, go for Certified Solutions Architect. Much more difficult but you’ll have great hands-on knowledge of the main AWS services and know what questions to ask if something different is being used.

As a +1 to Senior IT Auditor, your background sounds similar to mine and the AWS Cloud Practitioner cert is what I'm working on. I actually tried an AWS cert a few years back and was disappointed about how overly focused on just selling AWS products to you the learning sessions were, but they seem to have come a long way since then. Obviously teaching you about their products would feature but at least now they cover the cloud computing fundamentals too.

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”
