I've had some experience using a few AWS services like EC2, CloudWatch, S3, and ElastiCache in my projects. Does this mean I can confidently say I 'know' AWS and list it as a skill on my resume? Keep in mind, I haven't used the CLI or Terraform yet.

You should absolutely include the AWS services you've worked with on your resume. For roles like cloud developer, employers usually want to see your understanding of how those services interconnect. It helps to know about IAM for permissions and tools like Terraform or CloudFormation for environment setup. Consider getting some certifications for a boost too!
Wait, what's this about an environment?!
It really comes down to how you choose to frame your resume. Just mentioning AWS might lead people to assume you have a certification, while saying you've worked with specific services like Lambda offers more clarity.
Saying you can work with AWS really just indicates you understand virtual machines. But remember, optimizing your deployed code is crucial to avoid hefty bills!
Totally agree! Mastering those tools, along with CloudWatch or CloudTrail, will really set you up for success in most AWS-related projects.
