As a hiring manager, what is your course of action if someone doesn't have any of these? Do you reject a candidate due to a lack of certification?

Not at all, I would never reject someone for lack of any formal paper (degree, certificate), but if I have more resumes than time to phone screen them all, an AWS / Kubernetes certification is definitely a tie breaker for otherwise two similar candidates.
