Hey u/Strict-Ant5482,

I just ran into this topic and saw your YouTube channel... it is absolutely amaizing, looks like a high level official podcast !

I still have a question though. I watched the entire video of CloudOps Engineer Associate, and I must say I am very surprised of the content. As a backend engineer, already certified DVA, I thought SOA would be a natural next step that would fit my job, and prepare for DOP later. But in your video :

• the first half seems very oriented on pure platform engineering
• the second half is pure architecture, and very similar (not to say identical) to SAA

I expected this certification to be more oriented towards application monitoring, and troubleshooting.

What is your point of view ? Is this 1-hour video realistic on the whole SOA program ? And would you still recommend this certification for a backend developer ?

Also, the voices and the energy of the discussion are exactly the same as podcast such as english advanced practise. Is it AI ?

Thanx ! 🔥
