How to put AWS on your resume

AWS is the dominant cloud platform — basic familiarity is now a near-default expectation for backend, data, and DevOps freshers.

You don't need a full AWS certification to put it on your resume — a small project deployed on AWS (EC2 / S3 / Lambda) is enough to differentiate you from peers who only built locally.
