Which IT industry certs I’m preparing for?

There is a large array of professional IT certs in many different sub-sets of IT.

It can be overwhelming trying to decide which ones to take.

Although, I have decided to focus on my Cloud Certs firsts:

  • Microsoft
    • Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900)
    • Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104)
    • Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204)
    • Microsoft Certified: Azure DevOps Engineer Expert (AZ-400)
  • AWS
    • AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C01) Exam
    • AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C02) Exam
    • AWS Certified Developer Associate (DVA-C01) Exam
    • AWS Certified SysOps Administrator Associate (SOA-C01) Exam
    • AWS Certified Developer Associate (DVA-C01) Exam
    • AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional (DOP-CO1) Exam
  • Google Cloud
    • Google Cloud Certified Associate Cloud Engineer
    • Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer
    • Google Cloud Certified Professional Architect

Then, I would like to also obtain the following certs:

  • Comptia
    • Security+
  • Linux Foundation
    • Linux Foundation Certified IT Associate (LFCA) exam
    • Linux Foundation Certified Administrator (LFCS) exam
    • Linux Foundation Certified Engineer (LFCE) exam
    • Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam

As you can see I have a long list of certs I’m interested in obtaining, but I will adjust which ones to take based on employment opportunities I believe I’m a match for.


Right now, I’m actively studying for the Microsoft Certified Azure Administrator Associate exam. I plan to take the exam in late May 2021.
