As a hiring manager, the certs are ok, but the experience is what matters.

I always ask engineers this "What do you think about the AWS documentation?" If you've had to actually parse through it yourself to learn how to get something working, that's more valuable.

Is "I only ever get things done by reading third-part AWS documentation" a valid answer in your book? :c)

Compare and contrast with GCP documentation.

Honestly compared to all other cloud platforms I've used I find AWS documentation to be amazing. I use AWS all day every day in my job and the only resource I've needed 95% of the time is the AWS docs. It's my first and last stop mostly.
