I consulted with a place where they brought in a contractor to do AWS stuff. He spent weeks troubleshooting tomcat on EC2, his resume said he knew cloudformation yet when he was asked to write a lambda function using the tool, I had to do it for him. Knew nothing about troubleshooting Postgres on RDS etc. Fast forward a couple of years and he had a couple of AWS certs and was now being employed by some firms to better implement AWS usage. Myself, have no AWS certs myself but have done migration and large project work for several firms. So I think they can definitely be useful for baseline knowledge. This same person I mentioned above also said the company I was at at the time (a startup) should hire him as an Architect yet he doesn't do any app-level coding etc. So I suppose while the cloud bootstrap work is around for now, I definitely see this type of stuff getting consolidated.
