I've been curious about the preparation time needed to successfully pass the SAA exam and what skills are essential for landing an entry-level cloud developer role. I know everyone's journey is different, but what should I focus on? Also, can anyone suggest some good resources, particularly for AWS, that would help me qualify for these entry-level positions?

If you're looking for great courses, definitely check out the AWS CCP and SAA ones by Stephane Maarek on Udemy. They're highly recommended for getting a strong foundation.
Adrian Cantrill's courses are also fantastic! I've heard great things about the AWS Skills builder too, especially for hands-on experience. The time you invest will depend on your prior knowledge and how much practice you want. Cantrill's courses are around 50 hours and mainly utilize the AWS free tier, so you can keep costs down. For practice questions, tutorialsdojo.com is extremely helpful—it's packed with real-life questions tied back to the official documentation. Be sure to set up billing alerts if you're new to avoid unexpected costs!
Thanks for the tips! I’ll look into those resources.
