A friend of mine has invested some money and time in beginning to obtain the AWS SysOps certification [https://aws.amazon.com/certification/certified-sysops-admin-associate/]. Personally, I think his time would be better spent just writing code to hack on the AWS API or something along that line. I'm dubious about the value of this certification on a resume. In fact, I think it may have negative value in some circles.His take is that it can't hurt. What does the HN community think?
