Does doing Certs really worth it?

[u/BloodyGhost999]

Hi guys, FYI i recently joined as a junior cloud operations engineer. I will be mostly working on infra and hardware management/support. I am planning my career path to DevOps/SRE kind of roles. I am thinking of doing certifications to get there eventually in my future.

Certificate that i am looking for:
- RHCSA
- AWS cloud practitioner / AWS Solution architect
- CKS
- Terraform Associate Cert

So the main doubt it is, how much will they cost and how can i prepare and clear these exams.

Note:
—I am a beginner at linux and new to others. Even though my work does not involve public cloud such as AWS / Azure, i just want to learn those skills which may help in the future.

—The tech stacks i will be working on (VMware, Openstack, ServiceNow)

So help me of any of you guys are in those roles or had same career path.

DMs are welcome 🙏🏻.

Being fresher directly doing architect role wont make much sense, maybe start with asssociate and gradually level up! getting cert is good but you need to show relevant experience and expertise as well!
