Why should you get certified?
If you want to market yourself as a professional AWS Cloud user. You'll find that getting certified gives a form of acknowledgement.
But I do recommend everyone to get practical experience and go build things, that's how you learn the most!

Getting started:
If you're new to Cloud technology go for the easiest certification - AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner
If you have a technical background and you're familiar with the terminology, go with - AWS Certified Developer associate.
