How much valuable is Cloud Practitioner certificate
Someone posted this as a response to a similar question and I found it very sensible.
AWS gives you a 50% off voucher for passing a cert exam which you can use towards the next exam. Most people get exam fees reimbursed so this probably won’t apply to them.
The CCP is $100. If you pass it, you can schedule the CSAA for 150/2 ie $75. So instead of diving straight into the unknown of CSAA and spending $150, you get some experience with AWS exams and are better prepared for the CSAA if you take the CCP first, costing you $175.
CCP covers fundamentals which are extremely helpful for someone just getting familiar to the world of public cloud. You can prepare for it within a month. You’ll be in a better position to take the CSAA if you studied for the CCP and more importantly you can have meaningful conversations with your peers about cloud.
All the best!

I am looking for a job change in cloud domain itself and was thinking of getting some certification. Cloud Practitioner seems the I can manage to do the earliest. Will employers find this certification valuable?
Little Background :
I have total 4 years of working experience - mix of C, C++ and Python programming. Out of that, 1+ year of AWS and Azure working experience (I wrote C++ code for both platforms). I checked syllabuses of Solution architect and Developer (associate level). I feel that it's very difficult to pass these two exams without 2 months of rigorous preparation. (I went through syllabus and sample questions here - https://aws.amazon.com/certification/certification-prep/)

I don't think it's too valuable, but even from ground zero it can be studied for and passed within 2 weeks but you probably need more than CCP for a technical role.
Dev associate or Solutions Architect definitely hold more weight.
I would like to figure out how much my SAA-C03 test is going to be so I can plan for it.
I couldn't find any table so I found my test center, chose a date and got to the time selection but still no price.
I would rather not have to schedule, find out the price and then cancel if I can avoid it.
I'm sure prices probably vary but can someone give be a ballpark figure?
Thanx
