Questions Fréquentes
Should I list my AWS certifications in my cover letter?
Mention your highest-level certification briefly — "As an AWS Solutions Architect Professional" or "With my AWS DevOps Engineer certification." Don't list every certification in the cover letter; save that for your resume. Certifications validate knowledge, but practical experience deploying production workloads matters more to hiring managers.
How technical should my AWS cover letter be?
Include enough technical detail to establish credibility without becoming a specification document. Mention specific services (Lambda, EKS, RDS), infrastructure tools (Terraform, CDK), and quantified outcomes (cost reduction, uptime improvements). Avoid listing every AWS service you've used; focus on 4-5 you've used extensively.
How do I highlight cost optimization experience?
Cost optimization is highly valued. Use specific metrics: "Reduced monthly AWS spend by $50K through Reserved Instances and Spot Fleet implementation," "Identified unused resources saving $25K/month using AWS Cost Explorer and custom tagging." Show you understand the business impact of infrastructure decisions.
Should I mention multi-cloud experience if the role is AWS-focused?
Briefly, if relevant. Multi-cloud experience shows breadth, but for an AWS-specific role, lead with AWS depth. A phrase like "While I've worked with GCP and Azure, my primary expertise is AWS where I've architected systems handling..." keeps focus on the target platform while acknowledging versatility.
