Great video explaining the difference. Studying the difference you can tell the Professional exam needs more in depth knowledge in comparison to the Associate Exam. Thank you Michael.
Thanks Mike. You are truly the best. This video is so on point. This has helped to enlighten me on the right path. SA Pro is the way to go. I already have my Associate cert. I hope to be #cloudhired someday!
Excellent advise Mike, certifications give you an opportunity to meet and greet. The SAP is the gold standard in AWS, it is a more challenging exam so at least an employer will assume that you have some technical attributes in mastering the Cloud fundamentals.
Akwo. Thank you. Exactly it’s like an admission ticket to the interview contest. The interview contest is then won with Technical competency Soft skills Executive presence Emotional intelligence Business acumen Etc
Can you complete the SAA and then the SAP right after without the 2 years suggested experience? Or do you have to complete SAA, DA, SOAA before going for Solutions Architect Professional?
You can take the SAP right away. You don’t need any experience for this. You can pass this exam with a few months prep. And definitely don’t waste your time with the developer associate, sysops or Devops associate to pass a simple exam
"The first cloud was Frame Relay, and the next cloud was ATM, and the next cloud after that was the BGP RFC 2547 VPN (...)" It would be fantastic if you could elaborate on these ideas. I think ideas like these encourage us to think more broadly. It's always useful to be able to discern between terms that instruct and terms that advertise.
Hi Mr. Gibbs, I'd like to go into Cloud Computing career, but I don't know which way to go. I have working experience in Software Development, Networking, Data Center Virtualization.

Please advice. is this a right path or what would you do? Thanx a lot.
Hello. You mentioned certifications and asked us to tell you if it’s a god plan. But you did not your goal career. Without knowing the goal I can’t tell you if it’s a good plan. So if you tell us your goals we can help you with the plan. And your background and experiece as well
This clarification will help me focus my time and energy toward a specialization and not just collect certs. Thanks!
Thank you! Great information. My cousin is an engineer, and he initially guided me to get 4x AWS certified.
Thank you Abigayle. You found our community at the right time. The right advice at the right time makes all the difference in the world.
Specialize, specialize. Well said, Mike! Best to master a set of skills instead of trying to learn it all

Thank you for pointing that out!

Good video but it's hard not to focus on your hands going from down to up and right to left...
All AWS Associate certifications are useless.

@Seetsa Molapo
I have AWS solutions architect associate and, working on the professional one
@@Canda-fh4xc so what drives you to pursue the SAP given this gloomy outlook?
