Short answer: learn Terraform first. It is the most requested infrastructure-as-code skill in job postings, it works across clouds, and its concepts transfer everywhere. Use CloudFormation when you are all-in on AWS and want no state file to manage. Use the CDK when your team would rather write TypeScript or Python than a configuration language.

Short answer: if you already work in IT, start with the Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03). It costs 150 US dollars, takes six to ten weeks of study, and appears in more job postings than any other AWS credential. Take the Cloud Practitioner first only if you are completely new to technology.
