Between COMPTIA and AWS (Amazon Web Services) which is more prestigious? The pros and cons seems to be subject to individual inclination or relevance of the course of interest.

Since I got into IT about 17 years ago, CompTIA A+ used to be the basic certification for those wanting to venture into hardware. CompTIA also has a vendor neutral project management course called 'Project +' unlike P2P.

If security is your focus, then CompTIA Security+ and CysA+ (cyber security analyst) would be your best bet.

AWS on the other hand seems to be more on the AI aspect of IT. It's products supports services like we hosting for many organizations.

There some similarities between AWS and CompTIA. The difference in my opinion is in the demand for what by organizations and the interest of the individual.
