  • Omitting cost or uptime numbers — architects are judged on dollars and reliability.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need SA-Pro to apply for senior cloud roles?

SA-Associate is enough for many senior roles; SA-Pro becomes a differentiator for staff and principal architect titles.

Should I list other clouds (Azure, GCP)?

Yes, briefly — most enterprises now run multi-cloud and recruiters filter on at least one secondary provider.

How many AWS services should I list?

Cap at the 10–15 you'd architect in an interview. A laundry list signals breadth without depth.
