Your interest in AWS Certified Advanced Networking - Specialty is logged.
Deep, senior and narrow: hybrid networking on AWS. AWS retired the exam, with a last exam day of August 25, 2026, and no replacement, so nobody new can earn it. It still pays $–––,––– at the top of the band for the people who hold it.
Network architects handling Direct Connect, Transit Gateway design, DNS and traffic engineering for large hybrid estates. Think telcos, banks and global enterprises with heavy on-prem interconnect.
Retired with no replacement: nobody new can earn it, and holders need a next credential to carry the specialty forward. That is the UPGRADE case. SA-Professional or a security specialty keeps the networking depth portable.
The risk is a fading signal: with no new holders, employers name it less often in postings over time. Managed-service substitution adds to that — every improvement to AWS's native networking abstractions shrinks the pool of problems that need this depth.
