Hello, I'm looking for some perspective on what IT certs would be the most beneficial and help me become more competitive in the job market. I am PMP, AHPP, CSM (Scrum Master) and my career centers mostly around IT Cloud technologies. I have researched the AWS certs and I have accomplished the foundational Cloud Practitioner. Would Solution Architect Associate be my next step? I just want to be tech savvy enough to be a great IT Cloud PM. Can anyone recommend any different certs? Thank you! Saving Changes...

Interesting I stumbled into your post, as I've been researching the same. I'm inclined to the AWS Architect.
There's also Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud certifications. Although these are not as popular as AWS, are also interesting. All will continue to grow.
I think you better search the local job market and see what are the requirements for your desired role. It could be different in other geographical areas!

I can understand where you are being pragmatic but from a proactive standpoint, I want to be ahead of the game. Make sense? I think I will go after the Solutions Architect.

Yes, makes sense.
I understand what you are saying. Even for being ahead of the game, you need to monitor the target market.

AZ-104 Azure Administrator is an option and a stepping stone to a solution architect certification if you are not too technical. It also opens up entry level hands-on technical role possibilities if one chooses to do so. Adding industry knowledge and/or technical skills to your PM arsenal makes you more marketable and relevant in the ever changing job landscape. Saving Changes...
