Certification roadmaps
Curated learning paths from beginner to expert across cloud, security, DevOps and more.
AWS Cloud Architect Career Path
CertReview-curated roadmap for AWS architects. AWS does NOT publish a single "do these certs in this order" diagram — they publish role-based learning plans. This sequence reflects how community practitioners typically build depth: foundations → core associate → professional → DevOps capstone.

Azure Solutions Architect Track
CertReview-curated roadmap for Azure architects. The AZ-104 → AZ-305 step IS a real Microsoft prerequisite (you cannot earn AZ-305 without AZ-104). The surrounding optional steps (AZ-900 fundamentals, AZ-500 security, AZ-400 DevOps) are CertReview's additions reflecting common career patterns.
5 steps
CompTIA Cybersecurity Career Pathway
CertReview-curated cybersecurity progression through the CompTIA stack. CompTIA previously published a public "IT Certification Roadmap" diagram which is no longer online. This sequence (A+ → Network+ → Security+ → CySA+/PenTest+ → CASP+) reflects the widely-accepted skill-stacking order in the community.
6 steps
Google Cloud Architect Track
CertReview-curated roadmap for GCP architects. Google publishes role-based learning paths but no formal cert-to-cert progression diagram. This sequence reflects common practice: associate engineering foundation → professional architect → optional security/DevOps specializations.
4 steps
Kubernetes & Cloud Native Track
CertReview-curated Kubernetes track. CNCF documents that CKA is the recommended foundation for CKS (their "intended progression"). KCNA as an entry point and Prometheus PCA as observability specialization are CertReview's additions framing the broader cloud-native journey.
