I am AWS Cloud Practitioner and AWS Solutions Architect Associate certified!

I know it’s a bit redundant to grab both, but I figured if I’m going to aim for Solutions Architect Associate, I may as well pause and pick up the Practitioner also. It also guided my studying by having me focus on the more fundamental concepts in Practioner, and then building upon it for Solutions Architect Associate.

Very cool, very powerful tech. Although, I will admit that I’m already burnt out on three-letter acronyms!

My next step is to get some hands-on experience by actually using the knowledge and deploying something to AWS. I’m leaning towards Mattermost since they seem to have fantastic deployment documentation, complete with wonderful diagrams showing a clear outline of what services I’ll need to use in AWS.
